I liked this video comparison although something tells me the scores might be somewhat different if the comparison was more Eurocentric.

T'is nice seeing the iPhone UI in action and check out the way she says 'Noakia'.

But she totally missed out some important information.

Ok, the N95's 3G doesn't work in the US but it means that the phone will work in most countires.

The N95 also doesn't need to be hacked and isn't limited tot he software it can use.

She said that the memory was a let down, but thats ONLY because of what's out on the market. 8GB's are going to be out soon.

She fails to mention that the iPhone uses a real OS.

She didn't mention the iPhone does NOT have MMS support and you cannot set an MP3 as a ringtone...

Oh she said that the N95 had 8 hours talk time !!! WTF?!

She forgot to mention that the N95 takes DVD recording and has a USB port.

Anyway, I'd say the N95 is better feature wise.

The iPhone has more potential

I think Nokia's 'sphere of influence' is more Eurocentric which is why I think the scores would have been different if the reviewer(s) were non-American.

MMS and even to a point SMS aren't as popular in the US, so as a device you can see how it would be honed for the American market.

For example, why would Apple include MMS for the US iPhone when it is hardly used anyway?

many people simply 'want' functions even if they wont use it.

It's odd that they'd keep MMS out of the US but in the European model (when it's only software based)

that's how its pronounced in Finnish, 'NOKE-ya'

Americans mostly say 'No-KEE-ya' which is awful.
The general British pronounciation of 'NOCK-ya' is incorrect as well.
