Hello,
I am living in Australia, I want to join a new plan
N95 8GB- $29cap +10 PER MONTH
Lg Ku990 Viewty - $29cap no additional fee

Both of them is 24 months.
Is it worth to add $10 more per month for the N95 8GB?
Is it the time to get it? or wait for iphone.

Thanks.

In my opinion it's no contest. The N95 8GB wins hands down. Both the Viewty and iPhone are touchscreen but that novelty soon wears off.

A review site that I rate is GSM Arena who give an in depth review of phones and all three can be found there as follows:-

Apple iPhone 3G

It's the features of the N95 8GB that outstrip the other two with lots of 3rd party applications also available.

the n95 is totally worth it for all these reasons below.

the n95 is designed to suck down 3G data. web browser, podcasts, full youtube (using emTube, best solution), internet radio app, email, ngage, google reader, instant messenger, google maps, garmin GPS w/ fuel prices, nokia maps 2.0, symella P2P music downloads, share online to upload pics to flickr, etc.

a data plan is highly recommended for this phone too.

also the n96 will be out soon. but the n95 8gb is almost exactly the same features, so its a wash. however that e71 is hot!

Not being biased here, but I'd go for the N95. I've tried the Viewty and it's a nice phone. The things that knocked me back about it was that the touchscreen navigation lags quite a lot (it would take a couple of seconds to respond) and, even though it supports Flash, the small simple flash file i sent to it via bluetooth wouldn't run. It was only 200kb and the Viewty would say it ran out of memory as soon as it tried to open the file.

hahah.. silly question since you are posting onto a N95 forum board..

of course you will get 9 votes of N95 to 1 vote of Viewty.. hahaha
