So now the Nokia N900 is the iPhone Killer?

Under: Apple iPhone, Nokia
Date: December 15th, 2009

Oh please not another one, just because Vodafone UK is going to release the Nokia N900 internet tablet in January 2010 doesn’t mean it is an iPhone killer, isn’t, hasn’t been and won’t be; it simply hasn’t got the gumption to take the crown from the iconic iPhone.

However an article over on ibtimes has it that the Nokia N900 is indeed an iPhone killer as their article title states Nokia N900 promises to end iPhone’s reign as king of smartphones…try pulling the other one.

Funny I thought that the Google Nexus One was the new supposed iPhone killer, but apparently not, it’s the Nokia N900, just like it was the Nokia N97, Motorola Droid, Palm Pre, Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 and numerous other smartphones that have been or are coming to the mobile phone arena.

But it seems we have all got it wrong and the Nokia N900 becoming available on Vodafone UK in January has somehow given a boost to the Nokia N900’s chances of swiping the smartphone crown. Well it’s not going to happen, not chance; the iPhone will still retain its crown as king of smartphones and I think Apple has nothing to worry about.

Agreed – the iPhone doesn’t come close to this phone – multitasking, 5MP camera, real operating system, etc.
The only advantage the iPhone has is that I could actually buy it here in Malaysia, unlike the N900!

Why does there have to be an iPhone Killer? It’s not exactly a great phone to begin with. UI, yup, it’s kind of nice but in reality it’s a restrictive dumbed down Smartphone for the below average punter. Sure, it’s popular, but so are other Smartphones – Blackberry’s & Nokia ESeries out selling the iPhone glabally every Q.
Think you need to look at learning who to be a journalist… I’m sure there’s an app for that though.

Why would anyone care what is the next iphone killer?? Personaly I could not care less, I would not even consider owning it as for me it has a major flaw – no physical keyboard.. Therefore I have chosen the N900. It`s like with cars, for the love of god I will never understand the appeal of so called 4x4s or SUVs, therefore as I dont consider them something that I would want I will not buy any of them and I do not care about them..

this site is called phonesreview, however – all this article communicates is bias. A very poor waste of time indeed….
iPhone owners shouldn’t bother with the N900. It’s a geeks device and not for n00bs.
