Well, as for me i heared that iphone has some disadvantages like no songs sharing with bluetooth, configure the phone yourself, and no arabic unitl now.
Unfortunelty, the phone is produced for specific countries and i think its unhandy to be used here in bahrain.

aboud the imate, many use this phone and i havent heared of any bad issues.

N93, i dont like N series i fnd them all the same. But this phone seems to be
handy to me.

good luck!
