Nokia and SE have definitely been there for a long time now. But other manufacturers like Samsung and LG are trying to make their mark in the market.
Their trump card seems to be in introducing technologically competitive phones at prices way below equivalent Se/nokia phones.
Take for example the LG M4410, the car style music phone. Its got mp3 player, a 1.3 mp camera, bluetooth, 262k color display, mini sd card, edge. Also the freebies with this phone are bluetooth headset, 64mb mini sd card, usb data cable and hands free kit. All for a price much much lower than what se or nokia would take.
Has any of you ever tested out these phones. Are the claims made by these companies actually correct? Are they anywhere close when it comes to quality?

The six new models are fully equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia functions and design is unprecedented and innovative.
These are the new mobile phones:

The mobile broadcasting phone, SB120, enables those on the move to enjoy crystal-clear video, CD-quality audio and satellite-transmitted data.

supporting auto focus functions.
Up & down slide phone (LP3900)
The new slide phone, LP3900, has a two-layer display and the upper monitor screen moves both up and down the inner.

Strengthening this camera function is a strobe flash, half-shutter and lens cover.
3-D game phone (SV360 / KV3600)
The first cell phone ever armed with a 1 million polygon/second graphic accelerator chip processes data five times faster than currently available chips and allows users to play games with more minute and realistic 3-D graphics.
The phone is also equipped with acceleration sensors that allow the user to control the game by moving it up and down or left to right, maximizing enjoyment.
The phones are equipped with a 2.2-inch LCD screen, allowing users to play 3-D games with increased screen quality.
Real MP3 music phone (KP4400)
The real MP3 music phone has a multi-tasking feature that allows users to place or receive calls and play games while listening to music.
It has 256MB memory for MP3 and a real 5-band equalizer, allowing it to connect to real audio equipment.

The sports car-design phone adopts the shape of a trendy European sports car and incorporates a sensor that conducts a breathalyzer test to measure blood-alcohol level.
410 series adopts a sports car style user interface (UI) design, strengthened multimedia features such as a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, TV remote control functions utilizing IrDA, Video recording and playback, MMS and MP3 functions. The model was designed in cooperation with a popular sports-car company in its Milan Design Center.

I've used the LG M4410 and it wasn't much of a pleasure. It looks promising but once you open it up it's pure garbage. 3gp and other popular formats. Video clips don't have sound. You can't play Series40 or Series 60 games on this phone unlike SE models.
