20) Experience
Nokia: Ages of experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of smart handsets in current portfolio. Nokia has about 40% market share with the No.1 spot with no close competitors. Certainly the king when it comes to brand value, service and experience.

Apple: First phone ever launched by Apple is Iphone, no prior experience in the telecom market. It’s a novice in the market with a very less market share despite having millions of Iphone sold.

Verdict:
Almost all the major brands around the world like Samsung, HTC, LG, etc launched their touchscreen smartphones with a hope to beat Apple’s Iphone. No-one came close to Iphone when it comes to looks, style, feel and features.

This is the first time a tech giant like Nokia has hit it hard with its first true touchscreen smartphone. Nokia 5800 is a real Iphone killer with way ahead features, perfect looks and great price. Bravo Nokia, Well Done!!

Nokia is 5800 times better than Apple!!!

whatever.. everyone has different thoughts....
but we cant deny the truth that apple iphone is more popular than nokia s60v5.....

my frnd if u compare iphone with nokia 5800/n97, iphone rocked the market... and 1 of the most selling phone....
more market=popularity...

i personally have a s60v5 phone bt iphone did more business than n97/5800  (truth) 

my first phone is a nokia, back in 90' then a few more -now I got 5800, and its the best of them all. My issue is the price. Nokia is much cheaper, but loaded with lots of new tech. Its the handheld for the 'common' people, down to earth -so to speak. Iphone, on the other hand, is too famous, too pop, and.. too expensive!
