iphone versus nokia 5800

So when I was on the market for a new phone I was debating hard and long between the Apple iphone and Nokia's 5800 xpressmusic phone.

I found this article while i was trying to decide which phone to purchase that broke it down by categories. (http://www.lucifiligheddu.com/)

1. price- Iphone is more expensive than nokia 5800. I am not one for wasting my parents money.
(that is a negative for iphone)
2. display- the phone automatically adjusts according to which way you are holding the phone on a nokia. although the screen is bigger on an iphone, the resolution is not as great as that of Nokia's 5800. I think that is pretty cool that the screen flips when you turn your phone at a different angle.
(another negative for iphone)
3. size- the iphone is a bit bigger. Although this is nice for reading things and dialling numbers, it also makes it harder to hold and makes it more difficult to use the phone with one hand. The nokia is a bit more slimmer and a bit lighter. Since I have tiny hands, the nokia is definitely more ideal.
(another negative for iphone)
4. memory- the iphone is available in 16GB and 8GB. The Nokia 5800 is available in the 8GB via a memory card which is removable. This makes upgrading much easier than the iphone and it also makes it easier to add and remove things from the storage device. I like having a memory card because I can take the pictures off my phone and transfer them to my computer.
(another negative for iphone)
5. usage- for the Nokia you can use your fingers or you can use the instrument known as a stylus provided with the phone. With the iphone you only have your finger. I like how it looks when you are poking at your phone with a little mini pen rather than just your finger.
(another negative for iphone)
6. battery life- the nokia 5800 tends to have 15- 30% longer battery life overall. Battery life is the utmost importance to me. I am always texting or calling someone so if the battery life sucks i am going to be very upset if the phone dies in the middle of a phone conversation.
(another negative for iphone)
7. camera/video- the camera on the Nokia 5800 is better than that of iphone seeing as iphone only has a basic camera with no flash. Iphone also lacks video recording options. While you can install video recording on iphone it already comes as part of the nokia's features. The nokia also has the options of video calling.
(yet another negative for iphone)

So, I am happy with the selection I made over purchasing the Nokia 5800. Not to say that I still do not love the iphone. Honestly it was my first choice. I think the phone is designed very well and it has awesome features. I think I will still purchase an iphone in the future when they make it more easily available to customers outside of the AT&T network. For now I will just deal with my nokia 5800.
