A final word on the SE v Nokia War:
Thanks Brym for finding that review. after reading it, I have resolved not to miss that phone. The only hinderance will be price, and with all the "flaws" the price may drop fast.
From the review I gathered that aside from price and egronomics Eldar would've been ok with the w960i.
As for the nokia vs se war, se still wins for me. Reason? though the N81 and N95 which fall in the same category as the W960i neither of them offers me a touchscreen UI, and as such do not tickle my fancy. Plus I find S60 awkward to use. |

@brym: anyone can post up bad reviews of any manufacturer and thier phone. It seems the war chiefs of nokia are reprehensive (or is it scared??  ) to go into head-to-head battle. The rules are easy:
RULE 1: PICK ONE NOKIA AND ONE SE PHONE WITHIN THE SAME PRICE RANGE (is within 3k acceptable to everyone?)
RULE 2: SPECS, PROPERTIES AND THIER PERFORMANCES ARE MATCHED UP. (I refrain from adding aesthetics cos beauty is in the eye blah blah...)
RULE 3: THE PHONE WITH THE BEST RESULT (assuming we can ever get to that point!) WINS THE ROUND AND THE POINT FOR ITS MANUFACTURER. THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHONE.
I believe that both manufacturers have enough phones in each stable to urk out 5 or more matches. Is everyone game? If so who proposes the 1st match up? The ball is in team nokia's court.
@pxt: the subscriber was vexing cos he paid for internet access 3wks earlier but hadnt had access from his computer. In normal bad cc fashion, instead of offering to renew his subscription (even though he was at fault for allowing 3wks to pass before complaining) they told him to return the next day. That is when he blew up.
@amby: im still waiting for the celtel postpaid info! |

I cannot think of any good reason to compare a phone that is coming soon and one that is available. To cut a long story short i don't base my arguments on another man's views but rather proven facts. A fact is statement that is true all the time. Nokia N95, E90, E61i etc are factual statements of our time. |

@pxt: rule 1: choose a se and a nokia phone. I ddnt say which phone. Choose a EXISTING phone within the same price range. Is it so hard? The w960 isnt out so u cant know its price range or its specs. |

@pxt: but maybe as the N95, E90 and E61 are ur favs, maybe we should pair them up! i'll go online tomorrow and check prices and determine thier se "counterparts". Hope thier prices have come down. |

I was not replying to your post. I was just emphasizing the need to wait for SE W960 to be available before any meaningful comparison is done even if it is against fellow SE P1 |

@All: Am I the only one experiencing slow speed on Celtel? It was really bad yesterday and it is continuing today, so I am back to Glodirect...reluctantly. I hope Celtel will address this issue sooner before glo digs a hole in my pocket.
@SE/Nokia war lords, do you guys need more ammo?

@brym!: slow is not the word to describe Celtel GPRS in the last 24 hours. Painfully unreliable is a better term. Funny, but MTN GPRS is performing just as bad. I dread going back to GloDirect!

@amby: For me, this comparison puts the 5700 ahead because it is a smartphone. Pick another price range and another set of regular phones. This is all too subjective anyway.
My point has always been that SE has lost that creativeness that produced such innovative phones like T68i, T610 and P800. Eldar statement captures my thoughts better in that review ... Nokia today has more SE spirit than SE itself. I look forward to better days for SE especially now that there's a change of guard at the top.
@AYA: Celtel speed has picked up, I hope it improves further. Damn Glodirect !

@amby: WOW! That was more than i bargained for! I'll go thru the stats and make my choice. Maybe we should narrow it down to the differences only. Anyhow, i would have loved to see a nokia fanatic post on up. It'll be very hard.
@pxt: this isnt to sway anyone to "choose" nokia or se phones. Its just to break the myth of nokia superiority. Im just tired of people knocking on se phones over issues (some credible, some not) and at the same time keep quiet on nokia faults. Thats why i want hard facts to compare the products. As i've said before, it also helps phone prospecters to make thier phone choice. Anyhow, what is ur take on amby's stats? |

@All: So if price is not a factor which phone will you go for?
Me? These days I'm into smart, slim, light, and touch sensitive things(including phones). So, the HTC Touch would have been it for me. Hawks here in Nigeria are currently selling it for 90k and typical of Windows Mobile devices their prices rarely drops. So what's yours? |
