It's a big day in American politics, and although we across the pond in the UK are far removed from it, we're under no illusions to the scale of what's happening in the US. So, we thought we'd try and explain it for the UK readers a little, in the language you know best, by highlighting the features and functions that set the N95 (McCain) and E71 (Obama) apart.

McCain, like the N95 is now a bit of an old bruiser. Sure, there's newer, younger models around, but like the N95, McCain has seen and done it all. Barrack, on the other hand is sleek, like the E71, much slimmer, like the E71 and still has all the bells as whistles of the N95 (for the most part at least). He might be missing some of the action movie (or in the case of the E71, movie action) antics of his competitor, but with his way with words (and the E71's way with letters) there's no doubting he means business.

They're both sharp shooters and though McCain might have the edge in resolution, Barrack has a touch more flash. Women love the E71's sleek body, specially when compared to the bulkier, less maneuverable N95 and the latter's ability to slip and slide this way and that, has been known to sometimes put people off. The E71 on the other hand feels solid in the hand, and though both are undoubtedly strong, the E71 is a much tighter, more polished package.

They both have plenty of capacity for storing important facts, ready for those long speeches and hot debates, but with the E71's battery providing that bit more stamina, sometimes McCain, sorry, the N95, needs to find a back up power source. His potential successor, the N95 8GB, although black, is still pale in comparison with the E71.

So in summary, both candidates are very popular, and the running is definitely pretty equal, at least in most parts. It really does come down to what people's preferences are: short, a bit fat and some might say over the hill, or young, sleek, slender and some might say a little sexy. We're genuinely torn, but pushed, we'd probably vote for the E71.
