We all know that SE are in a clas sof their own, but if you had to choose another manufacturer, who would you choose?

[Dyce9984]

it would have to be samsung , as the others are pants

[scotsboyuk]

My vote goes to Samsung too, but the SendoX almost made me vote for Sendo.

[flynnmeister]

definately samsung - my d500 is lovely!

[scotsboyuk]

I'm detecting a pattern here ...

[bluesign2k]

i choose nokia because of the OS on the series 60...seems i broke the parrern.oops

[MWEB1]

My second choice would be I-mate or XDA but i cant vote for them!

[scotsboyuk]

@bluesign2k

  You broke my pattern!

@mweb6161 nonsense

  You can vote for the operator's own brand.

There are a couple of models which have my interest.

Released:

-HTC Magician (O2 XDA II mini, i-mate JAM, Qtek S100, T-Mobile MDA Compact, etc)

Not released:

-Panasonic X800 - I love this one (The looks, 1.3 MP camera, 16 million colour screen, Symbian OS)

-Samsung B-Bop (Pocket PC Phone, 2 MP camera, built-in WiFi and a slide out keypad)

I'm surprised no one has voted for Motorola yet.

[staiano]

I like the E-TEN M500 http://www.etencorp....ication/500.php (especially since it's quad band and I am in the US) but I can't vote for them so I went with Nokia.

[ThreeX]

I just did
It´s not that easy choice though. I am Samsung alleregic so they´re like dead as a doornail to me, but Nokia has had many of my favourite phones in the past, and it seems they are about to scrap the clown costumes and start making adult looking phones.. (668*)
At the moment Moto V3 is my main phone, and i like it very much indeed. Granted, it´s no portable jukebox/glitterball/lightshow device, but a classy looking phone with brilliant phone functions..

  It's a good job it is a decent phone, because it doesn't have much else going for it in my opinion. If it is going to try and be a modern mobile it should at least come with more memory than a goldfish with Alzheimer's.

[Memzee]

If you had asked me 6 months ago I would have said Sharp, but the 902 has made me changed my mind. I always respected Sharp phones for their crisp displays and good cameras, but the 902 let me down.

Then I would have said Moto, but their megapixel cameras are absolutely cack, so rule them out too. Siemens are just plain boring. Not a great fan of Nokia designs, or their small screens. I wouldn't ever use everything that S60 has to offer, so that rules them out too.

So I guess my vote goes for Samsung too.

[Vlammetje]

previously when asked this question I'd have said Samsung... mostly forit's tiny clams with great screens and great cams.......

But then the Motorola RAZR came along and changed my mind. In the absence of SE that would be the phone in my hand now

[scotsboyuk]

@Vlamm

  The RAZR is a fine looking beast, but the poor memory capacity is a real let down. It shouldn't have been given features such as mp3 playback and a camera if they were not intending to give it adequate memory to utilise those features.

[Vlammetje]

sort of like the K700 really

[scotsboyuk]

@K700

  Be fair, the K700 has 41 MB compared with the RAZR's paltry 5.5 MB! I actually think the RAZR is a jolly good handset, but the lack of memory really put me off it.
