Nokia 5800 is better in value for money. The cheaper price than iphone, and the memory is upgradable. It can beat iPhone 16 GB by only change the memory to 16GB. But you have to spend money for that.

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.
