Re: [CGUYS] Iphone competition
The open-source Android based phones will starting popping up any time now. Google's in October for $199 from T-Mobile I think. db Tom Piwowar wrote: Of all the Iphone competitors out there this might be a worthy adversary. With Apple now on the third iteration of the iPhone you would think that somebody who was already in the cell phone business would have been able to develop a competitor. I just can't believe it is taking them so long. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] iPhone competition
I really don't see any comparison to the iPhone at all. Connection more than comparison. The iPhone has really put the other phone makers under pressure to compete. The reviews are currently cutting these manufacturers a lot of slack. They compare the new models more to their previous models instead of to the iPod. It is sort of like those elementary school awards for most improved. Not saying that the new version is all that great, just that it is so much better than their previous model. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] iPhone competition
The Nokia E71 is getting rave reviews, even when compared directly to iPhone: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/08/22.html http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/207654 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/05/25/nokia-e71-review/ http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Nokia_E71.php * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] iPhone competition
I read three of the reviews. I'm not sure how this phone can be compared directly to the iPhone. That's not knocking either phone, it's just that they seem to be pointed at different markets. The E71 is marketed towards blackberry users IMO, though like the iPhone the E71 doesn't have push. The form factor, interface is much closer to that of typical symbian phones which is to say it's like windows mobile except it works. I really don't see any comparison to the iPhone at all. Verizon's voyager with it's new visual voicemail and interface seems to be much more pointed at would be iPhone customers. Or even the Samsung Instinct.

Re: [CGUYS] iPhone competition
I really don't see any comparison to the iPhone at all. I guess they are saying that it can do the same stuff, more or less, so if you want iPhone capabilities but (for whatever reason) don't want to an iPhone, this is a good alternative? I don't know, since I don't use either of them. Just thought it was interesting. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
