Back then, when the cellphone mania was just starting, I said to myself, ericsson rules! all of nokia's phones back then were so big and bulky, unlike ericson's (forgot the model of my first phone ever)....gf788?  ... it was the smallest phone at that time... only had one line of text. (boy it was still very expensive back then, similarly priced as today's 7250s)
Then I got the N3310? why..... the screen was bigger, cheap, and atleast during at that time had a bigger screen than ericsson. Then a 6510 and finally a 5100. 
Problems: (I've encountered)
- The problem with nokia has always been its pc-cellphone conenction, it was very hard to connect (before the pop-port was introduced), and an infrared device for the PC was still expensive. Consumers had to relly to external companies for data cables.
- Nokia releases a truckload of new cellphones every several months and sooner or later your brand new cellphone is not the 'latest' anymore (6510>6610) - kinda annoying. Thats just not fare. The SE t68i has long been in the market and uptill now I've not seen any upgrade model, imagine owning the t68i for a year and a half or more and still find that its still one of the top product lines of SE. 
One of the members was right, what will I need a 65k colored phone with only 128x128 res. If it were more than a phone (maybe a phone/PDA combo) then it would have been worthwhile. 128x128 is just not enough to be used as anything more than for menu and moderate amount of text info.
1 Style <-- definately, the 5210, 7210 n 5100 are a really jaw breaker! not to mention the 8310 which redefined cellphone style history.
2 Easiest Menu layout <-- I've played with a t65 once, and being a 'modern human being' I think it just needs a little getting used to.
3 ergo' design <-- you betcha! 
4 Amazing reception <-- I like the idea of having an internal antenna
5 Good voice quality <-- not too informed about this
6 tuff battery <-- no problems 
samsung phones. I like the new v200 - the camera and 65k c.  but its just that I don't get the attractiveness of 'flip-type cellphones'. They may be shorter in length, but definately bigger in depth. 
One advantage of Nokia is its very durable cellphone line; the 5210 and the 5100. I remember my dad considering the 6250 once, and it was one very ugly and bulky looking peice of rock I've very seen. And then they introduced the 5210 (a somewhat version of the 8210 with a hard shell and WAP). No other cellphone company produce these types of durable cellphones; small, colored, fully-featured and uniquely designed (N5100).
