    I like the styling and build quality of Samsung phones. As a matter of fact, I like it so much that I'm buying one this week - A Samsung G810! :)

        Samsung has very good innovative designs when compared to Nokia handsets, the only problem with Samsung handsets is, most of the samsung handsets freeze a lot when compared to Nokia handsets. Sometimes applications in Samsung handsets stop working all of a sudden-you will have to perfrom a hard reset like removing the battery completely and placing them back. However, the same doesn't happen with most of the Nokia handsets.

        The software in Nokia handsets, the features are more robust thus keeping Nokia always on Top position

                The Schneider optics used by Samsung in their high end camera phone's and stand alone cameras are also high quality.

                This is why the i8510 is often described as the best phone camera ever, it's only flaw is the lack of a xenon flash.

Damn!!! Using Nokia phones ever since without problems, for example had N6131 fell from height of 1,5m straight onto concrete and its flip just opened but it worked just fine with a few scrathes, believe you me!!!

                    I own a nokia 6500S now. I had a Samsung before. It dropped several times, once on the road during rain. Still it worked very fine. Samsung fones are very durable, robust, more than nokia I believe.

                          because people still thinks cell phone symbolizes nokia.But when it comes now we can really feel that there far far more better phones in other brands.

                                you can carry those devices around with you, while we will simply use one device to do it all ;-)
                                the quality may not be as good as standalone devices, but it is not bad for a mobile device at all!

We say its the best becaused we use it, we know from first hand experience, and you say it because you are stuborn, and that's just pityful!!!
