Nokia N96 outperforms iPhone in many features. In iPhone you cannot capture video, whereas N96 not only has video capture feature, but you can also redirect the video stream to TV. Surprisingly, iPhone lacks MMS and IM features. Nokia N96 has both, with replaceable battery, which you cannot replace in iPhone. If you are planning to buy iPhone, you must know that iPhone comes locked with the carrier, that cannot be changed if you are dissatisfied with the services of the carrier. When it comes to battery life, iPhone is the clear winner.

We give 7/10 to iPhone and 8/10 to N96.
