well i agree with vandit on the fact tht nokia is more user friendly....but on the other hand tht cannot be put as a sole criterion while choosing a phone....features and pricing are the two major factors tht need to be considered...and thts the place where sony gets it just right!
I would also recommend SE K790i....

Well @Vandit and Ankurgupta.me, the only reason why you guys think that Nokia's interface is more user friendly is because you've used it the for a long time and have practically grown up with it. If you've been using a sony ericsson phone for that long, you'd appreciated even SE's interface. Both are just as user friendly. It just depends on what you're already acquainted with.

u are right crazy i was stuck up with s.e for sometime and i got along really well ...the menu and options layout was kinda hard to grasp @ first but i grew accustomed ..

offtopic but:
MOTO sucks when it comes to menu and userfriendliness
i've also got a razr and i tried really hard to adjust with it ,but guys MOTO is impossible... [all my attempts to get along with moto has been in vien]

Nokia & SE Both r userfriendly, but NOKIA + Symbian OS may give virus also,
then ur phone is useless, on the other hand SE with J2ME is rocking ( except some P series phones ). Go for SE K 790i.

Yeah...one more vote for N73.I also recommend u go for NOKIA only.SE phones r boring plastic build.They r not strong enough,Repairs r costly n softwares r limited,Resale value is too low,looks crap etc. etc. etc. :evil: That's why they r cheap giving same features as Nokia.
But in case u buy Nokia may b u pay more than SE but u r future proof for 4-5 yrs. :cool: Remember NOKIA RULEZ :!:

why pay more for something which you'll be using after "4-5 yrs."???

i'd say SE makes phones which are more practical and caters to today's needs! plus they are good value for money! costly doesn't always means the best!!!!!
