With the introduction of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Tube Smart Phone, which is being billed as the iPhone killer, it's time to assess whether the new kid on the block Nokia can cope to their billing or not and whether the iPhone's glory days are over. Let's compare the two mobile giants and see how each fares.

Method Input

This Nokia is equipped with a touch of finger, stylus or plectrum an alternative that allows you to enter text on the touchscreen. IPhone supports just one touch.

House

The iPhone with a lame 2MP camera without flash is a clear loser in this category for the Nokia 5800 comes equipped with a 3.2 MP autofocus camera with flash Built Dual Lens Carl Zeiss that will allow the photos, click decent. It also supports a superior quality, VGA video recording. So iPhone is lagging behind in every neighborhood in this round, and is certainly not recommended for serious Shutterbugs.

Video recording

The iPhone does not allow video recording or video calls. For Nokia, these features are standard applications.

Music

Both the Apple and Nokia score the same points in the music department and both are dream gadgets for those addicted to music. However Nokia comes with music features stereo FM radio and super powerful surround speakers may give an added advantage.

Display

This is where Nokia falls short a bit when confronted with the 3.2 inch screen of the iPhone 3.5 of an inch. But to offset this missing the Nokia solution is 5 times better than the iPhone.

Battery

While the iPhone features a talk time of five to ten hours of audio playback 24 hours and a standby time of 300 hours, the Nokia command assumes that a timeout is an impressive 16.7 days or 400 hours of Audio playback, 36 hours, which are far ahead of mediocre performance of the iPhone battery. The conclusion is that the Nokia 5800 has a more powerful battery which gives an advantage over their rivals highly publicized.

Cost factor

Be linked to 220 pounds or 279 euros, the Nokia 5800 is a blow to the prospects of Apple's expensive products, which rises at a rate so steep that is out of bounds for most. When customers compare two and find Nokia phones that offers the most features sexy iPhone at a price that is significantly smaller, which obviously choose to Nokia for this latter also comes with peace of mind and the factor of years of goodwill.

Verdict

After comparing all the features and price leader in devices of the opinion that the new Nokia 5800 Apple iPhone will very stiff competition for him and Knock Out is a winner by almost 99% categories. At worst, it will be the same as the iPhone, but cheaper by half. That make a purchase for the gizmo freaks.
