Having said that, in my experience Samsung's look pretty but are absolutely useless to use and fall apart. My wife has always had Nokias and has never had any problems. Indeed, I currently use one of her cast-offs, that was then cast off by the kids and is years old. Its the best 'phone I've had. I gave one of the kids a flash Sony Ericcson that was bought for me as the Nokia does a great job.
I spent ages last year looking around for a new phone, didn't want an iphone and went for a brand new LG touch-screen with all the gadgets. Over the course of the year the screen deteriorated and finally all I could see was static. O2 were great, their repair service is superbly fast but the first time they returned it, it didn't work at all so it eventually went back...when I got round to it.
The reason I wasn't that fussed was that I'd picked up an old work Nokia 6230 and shoved my sim in it. I love it. It's very quick and extremely simple to use, and small and lightweight. I can text like lightning and I've not missed internet connectivity in the slightest. I chuckle at my mates with their iphones standing prodding at the screens for 5 minutes trying to send a text and masturbating over those bullsht 'apps'?? My LG now sits gathering dust though I might sell it - people are still paying £100+ for them.
