I prefer Nokia phones for a simple reason – if I run out of battery there is very high probability that somebody around will have a Nokia charger. There is less probability that one will get a SE charger. Both my wife and I have a nokia because when we travel we have to take only one charger.

You’ll get better resale/exchange value with your nokia than your SE.

If you prefer to listen to MP3 on your phone then nothing compared to the SE.

Certain nokia phones have interchangeable covers. This is a great feature as over time your phone body wears out – with nokia you have a choice to getting a new body and your phone will look brand new. Check out a 1 year old SE phone – you may see the bad state of the body and there is no choice in changing the body.

SE used to give great pictures but images dished out by the N95 are mindblowing.

GPS function in certain Nokia models – this is an amazing and very useful feature of a phone.

SE OS are as bad as the N series OS. They both hang. I’ve got couple of friends on both sides on this – one who’ll never buy a SE because it constantly switching off automatically or someother problem and the other side with the “N” series phones which hangs.

Ultimately it’s a personally choice for your phone.
