Re: Phones?????
after using nokia for years(3210, 8210, 8310,6610, 8890 etc), then SE(P900i) and then changed to samsung(d500) and now back to SE(p990i)
my findings are
Nokia - easy interface, standrad functionality for most users. simple design.
Samsung - good sound, many functions in small phones, not oftenly used. experimenting with designs.
Sony Ericsson - nice sound and functions, once adicted you cant go back to Samsung or motorolla. though for simplicity nokia can be good option but no comparison with SE.
that are my 2 cents
