Precisely, not that I feel I need to justify my purchase of any handset to people, but the fact that I have an iPhone should show I'm not someone who would be happy with a £15 old nokia
I was offered an upgrade from the nokia I already had and it was free so I took it, I was hardly gonna say "no don't bother, give me a cheap £15 3310 instead of that £300 handset" was I?
My main issue with the N95 was terrible software, as I said earlier, I went through two phones and they both crashed a lot, apps locking up, one had the dreaded white screen of death, and required a replacement, the symbian operating system is just nowhere near as good as OS X, despite what the haters will try and convince you. Battery life was also awful, lucky to get a full day out of it.
I didn't use mp3 on it, as it required dragging and dropping files into the file system etc. No where near as nice, or elegant as iTunes, I like my collection nicely organised, and the auto-syncing is much easier than dragging and dropping files between devices.
