Do you have any particular handset models in mind? I personally prefer sony ericsson because i like the way they operate and i never have had problems with them. But with saying that nokia is still just as good so its all about personal taste, you have to decide which one you feel comfortable with
Ahh, i don't want to go against a fellow Englishman. But Sony Ericcsons all the way mate, nokias suck in comparison.
It's depends on what you want it to be... SE : For camera and sound... If you like camera choose cybershot that is "K" series. If you prefer sound, choose walkman series, that is the "W". Nokia : Functionality, N-series or E series is good. But make sure you buy the Symbian 3rd generation... Nokia is so flexible as we can add softwares or games in it... The best? I-Phone? Don't agree?
I'm using Sony ericsson...and I recommend it. If you want more battery power, then go with Nokia, (or) if you prefer slim,light weight,rocking mp3 phone, then..go with Sony Ericsson.
I prefer SE (Sony Ericsson) because i am having one SE w700i since more then 1.5 years now. Its good for camera,video recording and sound (walkman series). DON.
It's depend on model. Last few year i am use variety model of Nokia and satisfied. SE look also good.
I think Nokia here wins the battle if you are talking overall. I would surely disagree with some models, but overall, yes...Nokia is a pioneer and it is the No.1 company after all.
