I laugh when you say its functionality! Se has more functions than nokia. Check out its mms capabilities. Far better than any nokia. It's only a example. Come on owning a 310. You aint aware!

Why do people go ga ga cause its SE? I think anyone who picks a phone cause who its made by is stupid. Pick a phone cause it suits your needs/wants.

I am not "ga ga/ gaga", it's just that I really like some of Nokia's latest fone models (7650, 6600, 9210i, 6220 etc. etc). The very same way that I admire Sony Ericsson's too (T68i, Z600, P800 and P900). I am not biased, I'm just a celfone addict . . . at times, when I have money to spare !

I might be wrong, but i think most people go ga-ga over Nokias because of their good reputation when Nokia was selling the Nokia 5110s, 8210s, 3210s. They were simple to use, offered decent battery life and were innovative.

As time progressed people who looked for functionality and value in their phones became more disappointed with Nokia and left them to some other alternate manufacturer. The remaining people continued on because of their established image and reputation in innovation.

It is only till now where we are seeing a bigger shift away from Nokias. I think people are now realising that Nokia is product churning. I have seen more Sericssons (T610s, P800s) than I have ever seen before.

As much as i want to believe in a company I feel that Sony Ericsson, just like any other company, will do the same. When SE has a huge market share and a loyal following, it would be no surprise for them to produce a mindless and repetitious product to maximise profits and capitalise on brainless following of loyalists - similar to the fact that some may people may believe that they are driving the finest german engineered and built car despite the fact that their Merc M-class was made in Alabama

It would be interesting in 5 years whether we will have a post on why people go ga ga over SE...

Theres my 2c anyway. /me puts on flame proof suit
