i'm planning to buy a new cellphone, but confused on what brand should i buy. I've been using nokia phones for the past few years because i've been used to it and its user friendly. but now i wanted to try something new. i've been wondering which one will i buy. Samsung or sony ericsson is the brand i've been choosing to buy. I have no idea about any other cellphone brands and its features. If you do know any of these phones and about their features kindly respond to this and i'll be happy to hear you helped out. Thanks in advance.

I am just really familliar with the features and I personally would hate to switch to something I am not going to like or have to adjust to. I have tried that and I was very unhappy with it. I had Motorola once I hate it it is the worst ever. My husband even hates his. My daughter has a Samsung messenger phone she likes it its cute. But I don't like it. She tried to get me to trade her for my phone I said no. She also had a Motorola and hated it. I will not depart with my Nokia.

a sony ericsson phone will always have better sounding quality and good images. it's my next choice if there wasn't a nokia. but if you're looking for class and stylish looking phones then a samsung would do you good althought the interface might still be under par againts a sony e. and nokia --- one thing i can say for both is that they are really durable than nokia.

Every phone I buy seems to be a different make from the last. I guess it's mainly because once you get used to a certain make you can bet your life every other model of phone made by that make is going to function in pretty much the same way. Because of this i've liked a bit of change every so often. My first phone was a sony ericsson followed by a nokia then a motorola then finally my current phone is a samsung. At present I am currently looking to change phones again as i've had this one two years. Although I normally change makes this year i'm really seriously considering sticking with samsung. Currently I have a d600 which has lasted me well the last couple of years...not had a problem with at all since then. Whereas when compare to my orignal phones like the nokia and motorola I often found they'd freeze up or go a little funny at times. What makes me such a fan of samsung is perhaps because I have in the past purchased numerous other things like digital cameras, dvd players etc and they all work without fault. As far as i'm concerned samsung would be my first choice for a phone. Many of my friends have the new tocco phone which they absolutely love and have told me they have had no problems with it. Am swaying towards buying one of those for myself now. Hope this helps and gives you a little more idea about what's out there.

I do not have a favorite brand of cell phone. I guess I just buy what I like.

Nokia is a good brand. I used to sell phones a long time ago. At that time Mitsubishi used to be considreed the best, but they were expensive. I've had a Nokia. But I always wished I could have a Motorola. Those have always been good quality phones. I use my phone very very little. The best I could find was 20 dollars amonth with 75 free minutes. But I never used that much. I finally found "consumer Cellular," a company that offers $10 a month with no free minutes. And one of the phones they were offering was a motorola for $25.00 So now I got a motorola and I like it, but if you're used to the Nokias and you know how to work them real well, I would go with that. They are good phones.

You are right about that. In fact the other day I had to put a friend's phone in the memory and had a hard time with it. I eventually remembered, though.

I prefer Nokia brand because they're user friendly and they are highly supported by network providers in terms on features like video call, mms and many more. It's is cheap too so just in case, it's is easily repairable or replaced. They got a large list of units for you to choose from depending on your preference or lifestyle. If you can afford it, i suggest you but a Samsung phones. Their high end phones are very good. Start from Samsung U600 up. Sony Ericsson is ok too but their phones almost have the same features. It has a pretty slow pick up too when typing a character.

It's easy to help to answer your question if we know how much is your budget for your new cellphone. Further more, what is your purpose with the new cellphone? As we know nowadays a cellphone can be use for accessing internet, multimedia and many great things which never imagined before. Let say you have $200 - $300 of budget. You can choose to buy Nokia N78. It has great features with affordable price. I don't know how much the latest price but i'm sure you can get the secondhand with 90% good condition for about $200.

If you have the money, go with the iPhone. By far the most user friendly and also the most fun! I love the games and such offered by the apple company, and the graphics are pretty sweet. If you ask me, I think the iPhone is light years ahead of the competition, but that is just my opinion.

I like nokia. They ve got a lot of different phones to suit different people. Ive had my current N95 8gb for the past year and it has never had any problems so far. They previous nokias have not given me any problems either. I would reccommend you buy a Nokia, I am sure you'll be happy with the features it has to offer.

i don't care much about the brand of cell phone. i think it's a practice or convention. i am using a moto cell phone these months. the quality is okay.

I would suggest you to go with NOKIA, the best brand and the cell phones functions are also easy. They have variety of models to suits every ones requirement. You can select from the wide price range to functionality it supports. There are other brands also available in the markets, like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Onida, etc, but I feel NOKIA is best among all. Personally I have been using NOKIA from past 7 years, and used various brands till date.

i give "yes" to Ipod.it has not only a perfect profile,but its rich functions.

Sony ericsson has always been my faviourite but only because i love the sleek designs. The storage aswel is amazing, i use mine as an ipod aswel its perfect for my lifestyle. Nokias are also pretty good though it depends what your going to use it for.
