More of a response to a post by B a l a j i than anything else…
Granted, you should judge a mobile more by it’s features than anything else, but given that lots of people are careless, an accidental drop could cause your phone to go bust…
I don’t say other phones are worthless in this regard – I did drop my Samsung C-100 quite a few times without anything happening to it – but, from personal experience and the words of friends, I can safely say that most Nokia’s are nearly indestructible.
Deviating from the topic at hand, my personal preference is for Nokia mobiles for more than one reason.
- The first reason is the solid design. From the rock solid 3315 (my first mobile), to the 6681 (my current mobile), I’ve not faced any hurdles when my phone has dropped from a height of about 4 feet. All that I’ve faced were a few scratches, which weren’t much anyway…
- The second, and probably more valid one (for B a l a j i anyway) is the user friendliness of the set. Of all the sets that I’ve seen (Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia), Nokia stands out as the easiest to use. For example, I’ve not had any trouble finding the Bluetooth control panel in Nokia. The same is a different matter in the Motorola Razr and Sony Ericcson W550i phones though…
