All brands have defective phones. Some ppl are just more on the receiving end and some are just more on the lucky side. It also depends deeply on your personal attitude and if you switch phones quite often, then you are more prone to hickup than when you use a model for many years. Personally I set the lifespan of a phone to 2years. Although I got my P900 for 3y now.

i've been
user since i had my first
phone, t68 grey. it had been used in a very hard way as it was scratched and had many fallen hits. it used to work perfectly but i sold it. then the t630(2nd handed), worked great. k300(new), great. k700(2nd handed), joystick problem and now k750(2nd
handed) and still working as a charm, i've just messed it up with the customizing thing and it's my fault, not the phone's. i'll be a year on june 17th.

With every manufacturer you will mostly get software problems when the phone first comes out. Like my Nokia 6233 its never ever crashed once or dropped a call. The problem i kept having with SE is connecting calls and dropped calls it used to drive me mad yet with a Nokia on same network never happens. Yet what i find odd is how can that happen when the latest SE phones have slightly better signal reception than some Nokias. Strange. But for now i am sticking with my Nokia. SE will have to produce something really special for me to go back plus i hope their reliability improves cos overall Nokias last longer.

The reason why i lost faith in SE is because they just dont evolve. W810-memory card=K700 and there's a difference of 2 years b/w them!
W660/610/850/580 are all same, same specs same stuff inside same crappy video and small screen.
However, i will still accept, that when W800 came out, it was a great phone.

Yes i agree. Since the K700 its been same old same old. Its always the same phone in another shell with only a few tweaks. Nothing new or exciting. Not even their latest phones do much for me. Nokia do change from each phone plus they improve each time with their screens getting bigger and better each time new features and they learn from their mistakes. I mean why dont SE get rid of that joystick its nasty. It never improves. I know this is mainly a SE site but i do love site but i am sorry i am going off them. For now.

well for a NEW technology/feature to evolve........it takes TIME!
for eg.W800 was an innovative product...a lot new features...superior music quality,camera etc. and enjoyed high no. of sales.so it gets kind of common among ppl,and as far as I know,no one really likes to see everyone around them having the same phone as theirs...so there is always an update with a "face lift".!
within a short time of one yr.....no one can really invent a new feature...it jst takes time!...if we could,i guess our technology would be in 2225 by now!
even NOKIA has a lot of similar models with diff. facia even MOTO has many!..
jst think abt all those phones which had major diff.(features) and the gap(time) bet. its predecessor's...i bet you will have jst few fingers open.

I've had the T28, T39, T68, P800, P910 and now M600, and been pleased with all of them generally - never had any kind of hardware fault, and with the possible exception of the current phone, no real software problems either. As far as long term reliablity goes, the T28 still works, but only barely gets a signal now - for a long time my dad used to take it mountain biking, and I think it got thrown off the handlebars a few too many times, and the antenna connection must have been lost/weakened...
The T68 is still in regular use by my mum, and absolutely tip top.
The T39 got trashed by the friend I sold it too, not the phone's fault... the P800 lasted more than two years in my personal service, before selling on ebay - the only problem I ever had with that was a bug that shut the phone down while texting from time to time, but generally it was very reliable. The P910 was rock solid, but I was annoyed at how easily the silver paint got chipped off the bottom of the flip, just by holding and using the keyboard inside the flip as directed...
The M600i I have now is fine hardware-wise - very solid in fact - and has the potential to be an outstanding device; it's just a shame that UIQ3 is still a little immature, and it's had its share of software problems because of that... these are mostly now sorted, but it still has an annoying memory leak. I do feel that SE fumbled the ball with this latest round of smartphones, and I hope they can learn from the mistakes.

Oddly enough as i have always had problems with SE phones the only one i never had problems with was the P900i i had it on Vodafone. Only ever crashed once and that was the first time i turned it on. I think with Nokia and SE smartphones the main problem they have in their early stages is with memory for some reason.

The only tough love for
from me is how little regard they have for the USA market.
They have precious few quad-band phones, the most recent of which we have here is the W810. Of their tri-band phones, they're very slow to introduce "a" versions - we've only had the K790a from a carrier for a month now - and then, it's only a select few of their entire range that are offered this way. We never saw the W850, and I'm sure the W880 won't make it, either.
The easy answer is to simply offer everything in quad-band form. Motorola's done this forever. Nokia is slowly catching on as well. But not
, not yet anyway.
Additionally, they need to figure out how to support Cingular's and T-Mobile USA's 3G networks.
has yet to offer a compatible 3G phone here. HTC makes true "world" devices that support all 4 GSM voice frequencies + all of the 3G frequencies and protocols uses worldwide. Even Motorola's figured this one out. Why can't
?
I hope
this news is indicative of
addressing these points.
