I've noticed in the Philippines (and around the world) that Nokia has dominated the mobile phone market. However, of late, I noticed a slight uptick on Ericsson users.
Personally, I find the Nokia user friendly ... however, I find the Ericsson just as user friendly (of course, that's if one is used to its interface), plus a bit more comprehensive on its features.
Just wondering what others thought ... |

hi there. you know, you could've just asked the same question from the chit-chat thread. the pinoys at esato hangout at that thread a lot 
anyway, the bottomline when comparing the two manufacters (i think) is how they package or target their market. nokia likes to be fashionable, while ericsson want's to be functional (and with the new  phones, functional and trendy)
there was this post here on a subject a bit similar to this, and the esato members can be profiled as mostly techies and guys. hehehe  |

this is my first phone. i have been a loyal nokia (bleech...) phone users through out my phoning life. that would mean i have been using nokia for 9 years now. anyways, the nokia phone, as much as i regret this, is very straight forward when it comesto usage. simplified menus, that's why my mom likes it. when the craze for 5110 (as i believe is a turning point for gsm) went thru, i had one. menu were okay and it suffuce the need of the time which is txt. nokia answers the market at hand. no .... is always a step ahead. providing inovative ideas to an otherwise clog, boring market. and with the lauch of t68, everything is going better.... just look at how nokia beat itself up to answer! ehehehhe loser!

Yeah, my wife used to never want to use my Ericsson. Until I got the T68. After that, lo and behold ... she wanted an Ericsson. Oh but she was b*tching the first couple of weeks because of the different interface. But now that she's used to it, I think we have a convert. Honestly, I have nothing against Nokia. They do make pretty good phones as well. My first phone was actually the 2110. Later moved to the Ericsson GF788 and stayed with Ericsson until my last phone which was a Nokia 8890 (of course a gift from my wife).
You know what I hated though? The Motorola. Hated receiving texts because of the lack of caller-id. Problem was needed to get a tri-band for use in the US. |

Yeah, actually saw the beta t68 as early as the middle of 2001 from my buddy -- he was at the time testing it. For a while I was debating whether to wait for the N7650. Later on found out about the price and the size of the 7650 so I went for the T68. But how about that P800 -- nice. Wish it wouldn't be baby blue though. how about a carbon fibre look or something to make it look "bad"

Was pretty happy with my Nokia phones before, but happier now with Ericsson.
It just gets annoying to some degree that, while Nokia expenses for me were on cover changes, Ericsson comes out to be more expensive in the long run...'coz it makes me want to get all those techie gadgets to really utilize its features. |
