It was in the Carnival recently, but I’d recommend again reading A Study in Digital Convergence: The Nokia Decade, at: http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2009/01/a-study-in-digi.html

It really brings home how versatile our mobile devices are.

Nikolay: By no means a complete comparison, but certainly an interesting test can be found here…

The biggest problem with the iPhone camera is the need to edit about 50% of the photos in some way. In bright light and with a clean lens it can turn out some wonderful images.

6. Genealogy database program: MobileFamilyTree This is an excellent programme that syncs with a mac programme.
Transformed my use. Converges with a notebook and family tree chart

7. On the go research and scientific paper repository using Papers for iPhone. Syncs with Papers on the mac.

These vertical applications, although expensive by iPhone standards of 59p are incredibly cheap and worthwhile by normal software standards.

Well, the N82 has umpteen scene modes, ISO adjustment, white balance, contrast, flash modes, colour tone settings, and about 10 other things to fiddle with…. all added on top of the large 5mp sensor and Xenon flash… Seriously, I don’t think THIS is a battle that the iPhone wants to get involved with… Now, as for the iPhone 2 in July…… 😎

I would actually like to see someone do a comparison between the camera apps for Nokia N82 and iPhone. Its easy to say they Nokia has the better sensor, but which has the better software options.
A complete comparison of the software enabled camera features of these devices.
