Which do you prefer the Nokia or Samsung menu?

I reckon Nokia's have got the best designed menu.

    Doesn't this kind of depend on what platform Nokia/Samsung we are talking about?

    I mean:

    Nokia 1 (Generation 6230i and below) was very very good - easily navigatable, but then phones weren't that advanced.

    Nokia S60 (Smartphone Symbian OS) can be a complete nightmare if you are new to it. For example, give the phone to someone who's never used it before and ask them to turn on/off the task panel on the main display of the phone (actually called 'Active Standby' - but who would know that?!). The S60 is also often criticised for being slow and a little bit unstable - and it's true to a certain extent.

    Samsungs on the other hand seem to have a quite fluid menu system. But this is because of the fact that it's not a smartphone. Therefore it's responsive and fast and reliable. They don't crash very often.

    I happen to use a N73, although I've probably been through the lot. Smartphones are great if you know what you can do with them, otherwise you should probably go for Samsung/SonyEricsson just for the speed of the interface and reliability too.

    I agree with k@i. The first gen Nokias (like the 3210 and 3310) have very, very easy to use menus. Yet when I tried to use my friends new-ish Nokia.. I couldn't find my way around it at all. :|

    I'll have to go with Samsung on this one.

    series 40 menus are fairly easy - prefer nokias to samsungs any day, Nothing beats the earlier nokia menus (3210, 3310,3410,3510 etc)

    I had a 3510i (before buying a Sagem MyX-7, Motorola V550 and Nokia 6230i :D).

    I thought the menu was really easy to get around and I also liked the keypad on the phone.

    Personally I prefer the Motorola menu layout - its a great layout for first time users...

    I never got on with Samsung menu's.. it didnt realy make sense without practice.

    Nokia menus are fine, but were muh better on thier older phones - very easy.

    Sony have some pretty cool modern menu systems
