    Point is both phones are available for sale now at the same price.
    It is unfair to compare a phone with one costing 3X or 4X as much.
    Ok. I bought the Nokia 5230 a year ago and the se X8 last week.
    I was a bit unfair to Nokia.

            -- 1.9milx65 = 123mil is it the 4Q you are talking about?

Get a life boys, in a market without android of course things are different than a market WITH android, and because Nokia is going down that means all others are better? Where was LG before Android? or HTC, MOTOROLA? Nokia has a decrease in sales. SO WHAT? Andorid is a decent platform that needs a couple of years more to get real value. Dont forget that people like to make a change, but in years you realise and you end up holding a NOKIA, ask iPhone boys, at first is WOW OMG, THEN its "how to i jailbreak?" So there are iPhone boys, google boys, never heard of Nokia boys cause Nokia is all about freedom, to use anything for anything, you can change default softwares if you like. So give us a break and look around you, NOKIA IS LOSSING AND IS STILL NUMBER ONE :D

                      CAN'T YOU SEE? The easiest thing is to run for android. Anw have a nice day and enjoy your device :)

                                Even their CEO admitted that Nokia have a problem while these fanboys denies it. Read what the Nokia CEO said in the recent Nokia conference call. Click on the link below to get enlightened. lol

                                    Nokia is really going down. But we have to applaud nokia die hard fans. The rest of the world sees nokia's decline year after year, yet nokia fans think that nokia is progressing every year, lol. So hats off to all nokia die hards.

                                      Hey you guys at Nokia, I hope you're reading this because if you don't make your apps work offline, then I'll be forced to switch to another brand when I'm due for a phone replacement.

                                      What's the purpose of an app or a game if you can't use it outside? What's the purpose of it if it only works with a WiFi connection to the internet?

                                      Think about that Nokia because that is one major reason that will make Nokia fanatics think twice.

                                      I'm a Nokia fanatic and I'm already thinking twice.
