I have had a 3650 for about 18 months now and the only damage is a few scratches on the screen cover (that isnt a nokia). I'm amazed that even after how i use it the camera lense doesnt even have one scratch on it. Brilliant.

I voted for Nokia.”

OMG how did he chew it like? would it not have germs on it? LOL

Nokia for me I'm afraid, I've gone back to an old Nokia 3410 just because it's so easy to use and texting with it is bliss, smashed up the panasonic GD87 in a fit of frustration. Got rid of a sharp gx20 too. I'm very happy with my ageing Nokia 3410.

My first nokia was a 5210.

My first mobile was a motorola mr601 with credit card sized sim and pull out antenna!

Personally, I voted for "other". Have had orange SPV's since they started selling 'em.

OK, they have their faults, but the C500 is a fantastic bit of kit.

Had Nokias in the past - and it would appear that they just don't like me, nothing but problems.

Everybody says Nokia but they are the worst phones on earth, I was glad to get rid of the 3330.

Why? I never had one single problem with my 3330 - I can't fault it.

They make far too many rubbish phones to make them that credible. Phones have too short a gap between releases as well.
3210: 1999
3310: 2000
3330: 2001
3410: 2002
3510: 2002
3510i: 2002 Oct
3100: 2003 Jul
3200: 2003 Oct
3220: 2004 Mar
3230: Coming Soon!

That's an average of 2 3x-series phones in 5 years and that was only the ones which were similar. Some were discounted (3300, 3660 etc.). More to the point the 30-series is one of Nokias ranges with the fewest models (don't get me started on the 60-series phones!)

I had a Nokia 3510i before, It still works and I've dropped it loads of times. Now I've got a Sony Ericsson Z1010, It beats all the phones.
But I'd say that it's a tie between SE and Nokia!

Nokia, i have had too many to count in the past 6-7 years and they are all still working and they get a hammering.

Everyone i know who went away from Nokia have come back.

My mate works for a faulty phone repair factory, they get about 4000 phones a day in, and he has to input them into the computer. He says roughly about a quarter of the phones that come in are Nokia, which is not bad considering they own 50% of the market. He says just KEEP CLEAR OF SAMSUNG. They are the most unreliable phone (going by what he has coming in)

have to agreee with freak htc's spv's made for orange are the most powerfull and practiacl phone i have ever used

i had the orignal spv which made peoples jaws drop when i showed them the featurs , i then had the e200 with added blue tooth it was almost perfect except battery life and size , now i have the c500 and i honestly cant see any1 making a better phone

HTC should be added to the poll

I voted Siemens, had a Nokia for a weekend once, it was evil so I sent it back. Also too many Chavs seem to have Nokia phones

Nokia's, they're the dogs b****cks, badgers nadgers, goats gonads, the Best phones ever. I've had motorolas before (M3788, Vsomethingorother (with rubberwrap things), and a Timeport Tsomethingsomething) which were reliable, but signal reception was pants where I go for walks, Nokia's have no trouble in those areas (same sim cards too)

I have had a samsung fail on me after minimal light use, ie, got it out of the box, installed sim card, charged it, used it for a week. Left phone at home while on holiday in France (took a nokia with me instead), came back and the phone won't turn on or charge.

I have a Sony Ericsson T630, which i adore, however i will admit to becoming a bit tearful, now that Nokia's 3310 is officially discontinued, it was great all-rounder.

That happened to a mate of mine.

Three times she changed it, and the same fault of not charging was present in all three replacements.

it was the one that was blue (E somthing).

By these two polls, It looks as though you'd be better off having a Nokia on Orange.

Nokia is tired now. Basic designs, Basic features, Basic phones.
Step back Nokia. Your trying to hard.

at the moment i've got an LG C1100 i got it in september and i'm getting a new 1 next week so many anoying little things + the chargers broken, and it permanantly tells me i've got a new text.

Had a few Nokia's and they've been alright but as imno12u said they've always had a downfall.

1 samsung not impressed by the lack of features

so i voted for siemens haven't had 1 for a while but i liked the ones i did have and never felt like throwing them against a wall which i can't say for all the others

I used to be a Nokia diehard, but have been converted to Samsung. Build quality, functionality, style and package all meet my requirements perfectly.

Yes there are more technically advanced phones out there, but the additional functionaluty is only any good if you want it. My current E700 is the perfect balance between size, functionality and price.
