Google maps is not unique to iPhone!

You recall Steve Job's keynote when he uses the Google maps application and zooms in to the Washington Monument, right?? Although iPhone has not been released yet but let's see how it works in another smartphone nevertheless. You can download Google maps application to your smartphone, at least to Symbian OS 60 devices, such as N95, which is far much better in my personal opinion. In this movie I connect my N95 to the TV and try to show it better to you. Sory for the pixelation of the TV and the waves that appeared on my digital camera.

Why does it take your phone so long to load google maps. On the iphone it seems so much simpler and easier to use. Symbian is a terrible OS and should be put to rest as soon as possible.

limoranch, you basically suck! Steve Jobs was connecting with WiFi in his keynote. Most probably he connected with an extremely high speed WiFi. You know why?? Do you think that he was brave enough to reveal the fact that he couldn't connect that fast with his sluggish 2.5G? Anyway, go and get your iCrap and don't cry and yell "why doesn't it connect to google maps as in Job's keynote!

BTW, the purpose of this video was to show that Google Maps is not unique to iPhone. I downloaded and installed Google maps just for this purpose and as soon as I uploaded this video I deleted it. You know why?? I have maps of 150 countries built in!

Nokia is a Finnish company. :)

I have an N95 and I can play all of my iTunes music! Maybe you're just lame?

[radicalgarbage02]

IDK I personally like the Windows Mobile app the best. It's runs so well, even on older smartphones and has support for Google Latitude and street view as well as some nice touch controls.

thats whistling sound. is that ur nose? lol jk. cool vid

[b03tz]

It has no mobile internet? I have 3G 2500/385...what ya mean no internet lol :P

I do have a iPhone 3G Though...

[cikenberry3]

Works better on my HTC which has built in GPS and connects to 3g. I feel for people if they have already purchased an Iphone. They shouldve waited. It has no mobile internet.

Google Maps on iPhone works much better, mainly because of the touch screen.

[xGURICAx]

This zooms in more than my iphone i think! But my iphone loads images faster than this!! And the iphone is just fucking sick!!!!!! ;)

[Phatzer]

The difference with the google maps client on iPhone is the fact that it can be navigated around using your fingers, and it ties in with your contacts so that you can select a contacts address and show it on map. Other than that, I guess its all pretty standard.

[Jo21]

the n95 even have a GPS ;)

[dant623]

My Blackberry does all that Google maps shit i dont know why apples acts like its unique only to their shiite.......

[Ty4ons]

Europe FTW!

I've got a W800i, but I want a N-series phone.

[kraoryenrub]

The n95 or whatever its called doesn't download all that music I bought on itunes. There. Now iPhone is better ;)

[kraoryenrub]

this thing sucks! apple bragged about having A google maps client.

[chilledandy]

Your dreaming, the iPhone is light years behind the N95 in almost every way. Its specs are utterly rubbish, and are already completely outdated. No flash, paltry 2mpx, no zoom, no autofocus, crappy wifi, no gps, awful menu system, very limited voip support, the list goes on. The N95 is a typical Japanese triumph over the usual bullsh*t US phones.

The iphone is merely a "cool" toy by comparison

[babyjesus7]

touch screen phones break much faster my man i owned a 8525 does the same stuff as the iphone. it cracked in my pocket while at work.

[fraklinc]

who the heck ever said google maps was unique to iphone?

what they did said was that it works about 10x better, which is fact, for example you have about 30 buttons on your treo there, just doing nothing

[celderian]

500$ on ebay

[macnation]

Wait im confused. Apple pantented mp3 playing phones, email, and google features? WOW!!!!!!

No one was ripped off here. Both worked independantly to create two differnt devices that are based differently.

When will people realise that the whole point of the iPhone is the revolutionary UI and ease of use, not the hardware. Its not like apple can put a fussion reactor in the damn thing.

[macnation]

LOL, what is the price because the lowest price i found was like $1000, without contract like the iPhone. From the breakdown of specs, i can tell that the n95 is also less powerful than the iPhone.

Now, i dont own a n95, my friend does, and the lack of touch screen is a real limitation. Yes it runs flash apps, but they are almost unuasble because your clicking around on a tiny keypad. The software is also better than most but it still pales when compared to the iPhone.

[jordanxp]

The N95 has a GPS also, so you don't have to "tell" the phone where you are when you use any of the navigation applications. Hmm maybe N95 is better than iPhone :)

[ohumeid]

go to hell, ur phone is slow like hell.. so get a life

[boyishcharm]

I don't think anyone is recommending you replace your smartphone with an iPhone. All that counts is that you're happy with your mobile device right? Sending an email with a photo attachment over EDGE isn't instant, but it takes less than a minute and is done in the background, so it doesn't strike me as a deal breaker.

[jabberwolf]

The iphone did only 1 thing, it made others think on how to create the interface, that is all.

And I agree Apple is good at that.

As for functionality, they always fall short.

[jabberwolf]

Yeah but why would I want to when I have a smartphone that already HAS a full rendered internet, that can PLAY flash, that can view PDFs, that can cut and paste... etc.. for cheaper on a faster network?!

If you have an iphone, try this, send an email with a picture you just took... on the EDGE network. :)
