Check this guys!According to a study,Nokias are the most frequently stolen handsets.Nokia handsets dominated thefts last year accounting for half of all stolen phones.Seven nokia models featured in the list of top 10 handsets wanted by thieves,among which Nokia 6230 was stolen most often,at 15.4% of all thefts.Samsung D500 was 2nd with 8.2% and Moto Razr 3rd with 5.4%.
And heres the list of Most Stolen makes:
1 Nokia, 55,783 (49%)'
2 Samsung, 15,524 (13.6%)'
3 Sony Ericsson, 15,090 (13.3%)'
4 Motorola, 12,947 (11.4%)'
5 Others, 14,451 (12.7%)
I don't no about you but i'd surely think twice before before buying a nokia!

OK, so the most stolen make of phone is a Nokia? Might that be as a result of Nokia's being the most COMMON make of phone? I'm pretty sure that a Toyota or a Ford is the "globally" most stolen car....
I'm not really sure of the point of such a survey although a good find non the less! 
No a Vertu might be a good find!

I think from now on all Nokia handsets should carry a statutory warning on their box covers - BEWARE!! Thieves love it!!

Actually SE is pretty bad in mobiles stolen. Considering SE's market share of about 6-7%, getting stolen 13% of the time is pretty bad. Maybe we've just got desirably phone
No-one likes Motorolas as well...

perhaps since nokias are 'bricks', they stand out in pockets so they are easily seen by thiefs

I was thinking the same, obviously they're going to be the most stolen if they are the phones that most people have. I don't think a theif would take it off a person and say "oh wait it's a samsug, aint got a Nokia have you?"
I doubt they go out to steal a specific phone, they're all free so they'd take whatever they can get.
Bit of a pointless survey.
