any phone to compete with the iphone 3g must have a touch screen even if it had 100’s of extra functions..

I have a Nokia 5300. Got it in November last year. Good features, sturdy looking, I get to do what I really want to (call & sms). Now I’m very careful with the charging part. I make it a point to pull the charger pin out of my phone once my phone says that its fully charged. It been 9 months since I got this now. I have to charge it every night before I go to sleep cuz the battery gets drained out by the end of the day. And this is after I barely use it for an hour to talk.

My girlfriend on the other hand got a Motorola in 2006. She charges her phone once in 2-3 days and uses it a LOT more than I do.

Nokias may be aesthetically good and have a really cool UI inside, but honestly, I have more trouble getting signal with it than I did when I used a samsung earlier. My next fone’s going to be anything but Nokia.

I spoke to one of Nokia’s representatives and the price is expected to be around Rs. 37000-40000. Whoa!

I dont really agree with you wen u say that Nokia’s quality is going down… In my opinion Nokia is famous to make the most sturdiest phones ever, they are always innovating and coming out with some seriously nice stuff in terms of applicationsa n products.

And every company has a life cycle, they cant be same all the time.. but in this case i give credit to Nokia they have been leaders since the time they came and they continue to be till now…Kudos to them for maintaing such a strong brand hold on people and such a hold can only be maintained if the consumers are happy with the product and the quality it maintains

I personally dont have anything against iPhone, infact love teh looks but the prob. is that its only the looks. features wise dosent have much to offer whereas N96 so full of it, cant seem to get enuf…..

I kinda had the same feeling when the IPhone came out here in the US for the first time. The price tag was exorbitant. Besides, you had to get a contract with AT&T if you want the IPhone. I didnt wanna switch my cell phone provider. So eventually, I ended up buying and ipod touch. Its no different from an IPhone, except you can’t make calls. You can do everything else, even surf the internet if you have wifi (which I do). And trust me, I’m not spending any more of my hard earned greens on an apple product. They aren’t as foxed out as they’re hyped to be.

Nokia’s going the drain too. Their quality has deteriorated from what it used to be.
