August 26th, 2008 by Ted | Filed under hardware.Nokia’s N-Series phones are excellent geek hardware, and, depending on who you ask, the best cell phones money can buy. The new flagship in the N-Series is the N96, and, while it’s not exactly an iPhone killer, it does have three features we wish the iPhone had.
The first of these missing features is removable storage. While just about all of the N-Series devices have a small removable storage slot. That extra gig would really go a long way, especially on the iPhone, whose iPhoto and iTunes apps tend to overflow its 16 GB solid state storage.
Another feature we’d love to see on the iPhone is the digital television tuner that comes standard on the European version of the N96. With the iPhone’s large screen, watching TV would be more fun than on the N96’s little postage stamp screen.
Of course, the iPhone’s camera leaves a lot to be desired, while the N96 sports a Zeiss Optics 5+MP job with a built-in flash. And it will record video, to boot. Let’s see if Apple is able to work any of these features into the next iPhone bump.
