There has been an incredible amount of talk leading up to the new iphone release and there is still a strong buzz in the air. I do have to admit i am still not satisfied with the outcome of the release.
For the past several weeks i have heard the 9th of June several times, mostly from friends holding out for their brand to release something that makes them proud. A response to the silence caused by their realization that my N95 provides a greater amount of satisfaction then their iphone.
So i watched the release and I am not satisfied.
Michael over at TechCrunch wrote up a review on it, but it didn’t sell me. I understand he was saying about Technology, but i must admit the first time i went to Disney World i was disappointed. I grew up less then an hour from Cedar Point, home of the largest, fastest roller coasters. Disney World just didnt have those rides.

Yes, you finally have GPS good work. It should have come with GPS in the first one.
You are 37% faster than my N95, thats not an impressive figure. Twice as fast is a nice figure. Telling someone you can download something one and a third times faster not so impressive Steve.
Camera
The camera lens is an easy KO blow for the iphone, its obvious. Wired did a comparison of 5mp Camera phones last month, Iphone wasn’t listed, and still wont be listed if they do it again. Why? It doesn’t have a 5 Mega Pixel Camera.
Adobe Flash ?
Do you have it….
Speakers
If you get a chance play the same song on an Iphone and N95. Turn them Up, at about 40% you will overpower the iphone at full blast. I went camping last weekend with my family, and my sister told me to bring a radio. I told her i was bringing my phone, she thought i was was joking.
So i ask this, what do you want your phone to do?
For me thats simple. I want it to be the only device in my pocket.
No ipod, no camera, no gps, just my phone.
Thats why i have an N95.
More reasons not by an Iphone
What is nice is that while flash doesnt play on Iphones, at least Gifs do.
