I dislike nokia because my first (and last) nokia phone - the 8210 - started to run down in its menus, even calling when keylock was on and finally it burnt itself down :eek: an inside element -not the battery- exploded and burnt the MoBo and the back of the battery. -of course a few months after the guarantee date... Do they put clocks in those things?
In all fairness i do have to admit that my phones don't have a relaxed life: sun and hot weather, cold temps down to -20 degrees Celsius, moisture by rain, beachsand,...
Switched to SE T300... ugly, veeeeeery slooooooow - texting on this thing was hellish - but robust and fair standby time. Put out of service after about 2years+ when standby dropped to somewhat of 2days.
Switched to Siemens and i still adore them. M65 & M75: survival kit with phone capacity. Nothing can stand up to these beasts... except for standby time, witch was really sad on both :(
Siemens & Benq quit making phones, so here i'm back @ SE, quite happilly using an w710 but always having to pay attention not to demolish the phone during outdoor activities...

Point of View on user friendlyness: Nokia wins here by far for low end users. SE's structure is more accessible, with nokia you run down the menus until you finally find the thing you were looking for :confused:... But i still remain Siemens fan even if their menus werent logic at all :rolleyes:
