I said before, and I'll say again. While I am happy to pay (and have, in the past), the kind of prices charged for the Iphone itself and the contract, if the phone is advanced enough to justify it, I don't consider the Iphone to be advanced enough.

Take away the software (which other manufacturers are already starting to emulate in more advanced phones), then the only advantages the Iphone has over the N95 are the multi touch screen and the battery life (although the figures I saw were manufacturer figures, so I'm taking them with a pinch of salt).

The web browsing is nice, but having used Safari on an ipod touch, I am not convinced it is a useful way to browse the web (in the zoomed out view, the text is too small, so unless you are looking for a particular area on a page, it is pointless), and, as with the other software features, if people like it, other manufacturers will find a way to do it (I believe Opera Mini already does).

The photo viewing is nice, but I don't tend to store my photos on my phone unless I took them with the phone.

The Multi Touch screen is nice, but I am not convinced it is useful in a device as small as a phone. On a laptop, it might be good.

The N95 has the advantage of GPS, a screen that is nearly as good as the Iphone's, expandable memory, a proper keypad (having had to use a touch screen keypad on my Vario, despite what Jobs says, I *did* miss having actual buttons to press, the touch screen doesn't give the same tactile feedback) and easily replacable sim and battery. So, if battery life is a problem, you could carry a second around. You also get 3.5G to go with your WiFi connection.

Apple/O2 are charging top dollar for some nice looking previous generation hardware running some nifty software and a touch screen. If they bought the prices down to a level competitive with the likes of Nokia and Samsung, then I'd be interested in the Iphone.
