There are not enough bytes on the planet to go into that much detail.
But the iPhone is far more technically advanced than the N95. The iPhone
runs pure Unix, the N95 is stuck with an ancient Symbian OS. The iPhone
has a much better touch screen, has multi-touch which takes the N95 out
of the running right there for savvy tech people...

Syncing is much more developed on the iPhone. It has a true iPod, not a
cheap MP3 player. A true FULL Screen Browser, not a baby browser like
the N95. Far better interface, the N95 seems clunky and poorly thought
out, not so with the iPhone. Super simple, super powerful. FULL email,
not baby email like on the N95.

Far better resell value in 2-5 years, nearly double since it's a better
designed, and Apple quality level product. The N95 will be a throwaway
in 3-5 years time. The iPhone will still be worth $200-$250 in the
general market.

On and on. The N95 is a fool's choice, (see Mark Crispin) it's just not
a product a serious tech person would ever consider, the specs just
don't measure up to the iPhone.
