So, my 18 month contract expired with o2 (a mobile phone network provider, for the ignorant) today, and I wanted a new phone. In fact, I went down with the intention of buying an iPhone, which was released in the UK yesterday (November 9th). I'd been a good boy, and saved up all my pocket money to purchase it. However, it's not what I walked away with.

As I was browsing all the phones on offer, I remembered the N95 being compared to the iPhone. Being a smart man, I decided to look at my options, rather than just buying the first thing I thought of. Oh boy, am I glad I checked. The N95 just shits on the iPhone in so many ways, I can't believe I almost bought it.

Firstly, the N95 was free (after some haggling, it was still only £79.99, though), compared to the £269 that the iPhone was going to cost. Secondly, my contract for the N95 is £15 a month (for 18 months) for 300 texts and 400 minutes. The minimum contract for an iPhone is £35 a month (18 months) which includes 200 minutes and 200 texts. Thirdly, the N95 doesn't have iTunes, which just sealed the deal for me. I walked away a very happy man, I just saved myself a flat out £269 for the phone and saved myself a further £20 a month in terms of the contract.

I've created this huge list of things the N95 can't do compared to the ludicrously overpriced iPhone (you would expect it to be a huge list, considering it costs a shit load more).

So, what can't the N95 do that the iPhone can?

> Touch screen technology

That's it.

Great, I'm so upset I can't smudge my screen up so I can't see anything. I knew I should have got the iPhone. I knew it!
