everytime SE and before that ERICSSON brin us some cool
mobiles with great featuers.
specially after the t68 , there is in comparison between what
nokia make and SE make
but still the sell more
i reallu don't understand this
my friend sold the t68i and bought 6610 cuz he wanted a phone with more option.
i told him that its only a normal nokia with color , even the color
is useless with this phone , cuz they only use it for the menue.
not only SE , see what other brands make , like motorola and seimens
they make far better mobiles than nokia , and still they sell more.

I think Nokians still use them is because everyone seems to be Nokians and these people with no character use them as well and apart from that they would like to have all these texts messages on Nokia fron Nokians!!

All Nokians out there!!! Please get a grip!!

LOL, you ppl really should get a grip. You're more obsessed about Nokia than actual Nokia owners. Have Nokia owners bullied you in the past or something? Have they dissed your mama? Why do you get all fanatic about this matter, just let it be. Why do you care what ppl buy, it is none of your business!

Maybe its because everyone had a nokia a few years ago and they just stick to the same thing because they are affraid of change

4 reasons, really:

1. Nokia floods every aspect of the market with 5 different models per month

2. Most people think that if you want to SMS your friends who have nokias, you need a nokia

3. Nokia has FANTASTIC marketing people. Even if their designs are crap, the marketing makes it all look okay.

4. People don't want to learn new stuff.

But, again, why do you care what Nokia does? Why do you care if ppl by Nokia phones? This is beyond my comprehension...

I say nokia is 4 ppl who can't operate anything bit more complicated. They wanna buy it, it's their call. Notice that tech-freaks usually don't choose nokia (well, maybe except brick) [addsig]

ive been a nokia user for many years from 6110, 3210, 5110, 3310, 8850, 7110, 6210, and still got the 6310i, but now im switching to SE t68i and p800 now im beggining to love my SE though its hard to send sms unlike nokia which is very easy to send sms. thats why in my country people still like to use nokia phone.

Oh C'mon, stop this... Go check a dictionary for the meaning of "objectivity". Do you really believe in what you're writing?? What more does T68 (or T68i) has then that justifies the color-screen? Bluetooth??

As far as I can see from both phones, 6610 (7210, 6100, 5100, 7250 for now) use fully their color screen through:
- enhanced menus, yes, but so what? Like T68 and T68i
- wap in color. Like T68
- MMS. UNLIKE T68, but like T68i
- Java applications incl. HTML browser. UNLIKE T68 and T68i.

Don't get me wrong, T68 and i are good, but you should face it now they have been overcome. And some phones out there do clearly make a better use of their color screen than what T68(i) have to offer (and btw, apart of Siemens S55, they all have much better screen).

i agree with raven why do you care what phones people use.
but since you do i will let you know why i think people use nokias.
a mobile phone to most people is a way of keeping in touch ie making a phone call or sending an sms.
most people couldnt give a fuk about anything else except maybe be size and color screen
the color screen on nokias as with se is just as good for sms and phoning people.
nokias are cheaper in the uk and with contracts normally free.you can also change the covers making it look like you have a new phone all the time.
i use se and have used nokia.i use se now as i need more from my phone than just the ability to call peolpe and sms with speed (although it would be nice if se could speed up sms).
at the end of the day people will buy what works and what they like and since evryother post on here is complaining about how the p800 doesnt do this or the t68 is to slow is it any wonder people buy nokia

I've got to agree with Super G and Raven here - you continually segregate those who use nokia as inferior, and SE users as your 'comrades in arms' as it were. Bunch of crap, it's not like that and you know it. My 7650 pounds all your T68/T68i/T300 etc into the ground in practically every way. My P800 does it even more!

Yet my 7210 and 6310i are far better for texting on the move than any SE phone; obviously RF is a million times better than SE's stock model, the T68(i); thankfully my P800 has made up for this now and does not suffer the same issues. But know something? The camera on my 7650 produces far better pictures than my P800 does; my 7210's speakerphone is much much better than the P800's, and has a very good built in radio when my 'have-it-all' smartphone doesn't.


Overall i love my P800 just a little more than my other phones, and it gets taken out with me everyday - but i could run through a whole list of points where a nokia is better than any SE - and of course vice versa. That's why people still buy nokia's: they are cheap, they do what they are designed for very well, they are great for using as a PHONE - they can text and talk the pants off many competitors.


Right, i'm off to bluejack some 7650's.....

(but not because they're nokia's - just because i can! )

Few reasons
1 ) People don't want to change (Boring people)
2 ) Sony Ericsson has broken may promises
3 ) have really bad marketing dep and do not realise that phones are FASHONABLE
5 ) Nokia is (or was) known to have great quality phones
6 ) SMS layout
7 ) launch time of product is not appropriate
8 ) Software on the or ericsson phone isn't great at launch giving a bad impression
Good Shit, Bad Shit, It's all Shit

i agree with u that we must not care about ppl r buying, but we
r just wondering..
for example, 8910 is doubled orice of t68, and has less features
and ppl buy it ? maybe u will till to show off , but believe me
they wont if it was SE or any other rands.

and Super G
i agree with u too , but what i mean there is that t68 has only
256 colors , and we can make themes , screensavers, and to add
an image for the caller..
but what nokia did with there 4065 colors??
nothing , as u said for wap and mms...
so which one used the option of the color more.

ppl im not against nokia , i respect them , they have done alot
of great phones , also to develop the mobile world.
but i think they should not have that position that they have
with there basic phones.
its just like football, a normal team which used to be special
is still winning everything, and at the same time other teams
which r full of stars and great preformance lose against it..?
for sure everybody will start thinking why
