iPhone vs. Blackjack vs. N95 vs. Treo 750 vs. BC 8300

Apple recently released a comparison chart for the iPhone pitting it against the Samsung BlackJack, Nokia N95, Palm Treo 750 and the Blackberry Curve 8300. Here’s their original chart comparing wifi capability and battery life, among others.

Apple Comparison Chart

Gizmodo then reported that it was revised after Scoble corrects it adding that his Nokia N95 has wifi and comparing some more key features. I would also like to correct Apple and add that my Samsung SGH i600 (Black Jack) has wifi too!

Here’s what the real chart should have looked like:

It’s really funny when companies highlight their very best features and hide the ones they lack. So, who comes out as the winner? I’m also curious why they didn’t include the Nokia E61i on the chart.

I’d go for the iPhone, having a Nokia phone in the Philippines is like having a pair of sandals, it’s so common! ;)

I wonder why no phone from SonyEricsson was not included?

I was actually cheering for the iPhone but I think I like BlackJack more now…

Blackberry rules. For heavy-duty texting and IM, T-Mobile Sidekick. The market conditions are obviously different here in the U.S. compared to the Philippines.

As I have heared from my old friend @ UK, the N95 thing was just crap and it nearly cost the same as iPhone (about $395 in UK)

Hmm, last I checked the iPhone has a SIM slot. I recall Steve Jobs pointing it out in the first keynote at Mac World. He pointed somewhere on the iPhone at the top. Yeah, I just went to the exact place in the keynote check it:

It seems you added features that are important to “you”, and didn’t do a good job at that.

GPS – Only N95 has this and it doesn’t seem to be such a big deal for most people today. I don’t hear too many ads pointing the GPS out.

HSPDA – they stated what network the phone operates on. To be honest until you use the phone, don’t judge the speed.

Storage – iPhone wins 4/8GB compared to 2 GB Micro SD

Eye-Free-Texting – that’s something you maybe proficient at, it is not a “feature” on the phone. Some maybe better at it than others.

Blue-Tooth – what’s the point of this one? all have it.

Camera – I had a discussion about this with someone the other day, what does it matter the megapixels on the camera, I have a camera on my phone I barely use it. How often do you use it? Its a “nice” to have.

FM Radio – not a good comparison, only one phone uses it, not that important to me.

Removable SIM – the iPhone does have it.

So in the end to ME, there doesn’t seem to be anything compelling about the other phones other than faster network, but user-experience still remains to be seen.
