First had a 3310 but kept on switching off. Then had a 6210 that got repaired 11 times and then got ditched (shud'v dun it earlier!) then got z7 and also have a t68i. The T68i has had a software upgrade but there was no problems with the older s/w and the z7 has never caused trouble. O2 and Tmobile are withdrawing 7210s cos they seem dodgy and everybodys giving em back. It seems to me that SE is more reliable but a lot of people have said that they have had problems with grey t68s. What do you think?

The t65 is said to be slow but is faster than this user. Compared with t65 the t300 is not as solid.

I have always used Nokias for my work and bought Ericcssons for my private use. So far, I've never had an ericsson go wrong but I've had 3 fauly Nokias in 3 years.

Everybody knows that Nokia offers low building quality for its phones. In addition, many times Nokia's newly launched phones encounter software failures.
T68 had some software bugs in the past, but after the major software release (mms) software bugs removed. Compared to Nokia's phones, SE have better overall quality. That is the true. For medium range and entry level phones, Nokia dominates cause of its software which is more friendly. For high end phones SE dominates cause they know how do to them!
Personally right now I have the new GD87 which is awesome. Compared to both Nokia & has better quality. The software is rock stable ,very nice/impressive and friendly.

I'm not sure of what i'm going to say, and correct me if i'm wrong, but knowing that both brands have bugs in their new releases, i think that se is better 'cause they release soft updates (i.e. They admit the bugs and correct them) which are free and quick.

has better customer service and that is a fact. However, Nokia also releasses firmware upgrades to correct its buggy phones. What happens, is that many many times the problem in Nokia phones doesn't lie on faulty software but on faulty & poor hardware.

Correct! And that is why they are often forced to replace the non-repairable phones; after a 2-month waiting period of course!:-( Not to mention that when you upgrade a Nokia you lose everything in your phone!:-(

@krubach: They both have faulty phones on their hands and this strategy will never change as long as ppl buy new phones the day they appear on the market.Look at the p800 madness, the phone has a lot of problems and they've already paid the $.this is all that matters to ur beloved nokia, se or whatever

I don't see many owners of P800 having problems with it!!!! I've never had a problem with my new t68 14 months back. I have no problem with my brand new GD87. Every Nokia phone I had (except 6110) was faulty...
It is known that Nokia phones suffer more hardware failures than any other brands. I don't mean absolute numbers, but proportianlly. It is reasonable. They don't have time to test them at all. In a year they can develope and introduce 15 new models!!!! How the hell they can test them????
