Battle of the Smartphone Giants
iPhone vs. N95 vs. N93
 iPhone is released two days ago and my opinion about it is already very well know. It seams that Apple is basically forcing us to use as many Apple’s products as possible, and in nearest future we can expect iToaster because its dangerous and stupid to use some non-Apple product.
As I have already wrote pretty detailed article about iPhone and I’m not going to write long piece again.
This product is simply one of the most OVERRATED, overpriced, and hyped up pieces of hardware on the market ever, which is pretend: “to be revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. What a ridiculous and arrogant statement without any relevant argument!?
Anyways.. the facts - for that is what they are - speak for themselves, let's have no more lies and half truths about iPhone, let's facts speak for themselves.. . .
