Most Nokia phones cannot play my 3gp files unless i encode them using the Nokia convertor.
Crappy 3gp implementation in Nokia phones you see. SE phones will play almost any.

I stick to mpegable like a nut in honey, unless i need to convert videos to work on friends Nokia phones (even their beasty N70's) i have to lower the bitrate and quality using the Nokia convertor just to get them working on their phones.
Bizarre, such nice and expensive phones, yet so stupid 3gp implementation.

Well done to Nokia! I nearly bought a 8800 to, but wasn't prepared to pay £225 for it tbh!

@etaab, chill. 1stly i have no intention of starting any flame wars with u or any1 else. what i posted was all in good fun & didn't mean to offend u in the least. guess i should have added some smilies to make it light i suppose.
the "stoop down to your level" was kinda below the belt, but i'm gonna let that pass as i started the poking fun thing.
take it easy.

Would it be fair to say the Nokia have been surpassed by SE in recent years?
My impression is that Nokia sat at the top for a while and got a little complacent. In the meantime SE came from the middle and took the market by storm. SE are still producing top product and keeping themselves in a strong market position. Nokia, in the light of day (my thoughts remember) are struggling to maintain the game with SE, as such they have put more effort in to the "Poser Phone" market, where they can get people to pay over the odds for a phone that barely makes calls. (I mean come on, who wants to make phone calls???????;-))
SE have possibly dicided to stay clear of the market or only dabble in it. You can bet your bottom dollar that at some point they will. Who wouldn't? You can also bet that when they do it will again blow chucks on the competition.

Huh, do you know what you are talking about, or you are just tipping for the sake of it ? Actually SE did not winn anything at 3GSM or did they ? They use to now and then but not anymore. Alcatel, Sagem, SE etc. are fairly small companies when it comes to cellphones. Motorola, Samsung and yes, NOKIA are the 'big guns' out there ! To say that Nokia is troubled by SE or any other small company for that matter, is like saying - a race horse lost a race because a fly landed on its back during the race and the extra weight slowed it down :D ! Buddy, have a look at the companie's financial figures before you make a fool of your self. Greetings from South Africa. Mario :-)

@SlipperyEel (yuk)
makes success stories phones relatively to their sales volumes. I agree with that. BUT if you compare Volumes of
vs Nokia, then its something else. I myself like many of
's phones, but lately they have disappointed me really for omitting the obvious! Something Nokia was blamed for until recently.
As to 8800 the deal is clear: make a very sexy and robust phone that doesnt sacrifice too much on features, and give it a hefty price tag. It 's not a matter of fitting all possible features in it (there are other Nokia phones for that), but the most useful ones and keep margins high. The 8800 plays on its looks, mechanics, materials but also appeals to the feature-conscious believe me. There is a market for flashers who want pricey phones because its pricey, and a company would be very very stupid to overlook it, unless it cant afford it.
Yes Nokia got complacent back a few years ago. But look (I mean DO LOOK) at Nokia's product line and range of features supported (from basic GSM, to EDGE MSC11, UMA, WiFi 11g, DVB-H etc. (I didnt list 3G because I dont think its relevant
) and you will see it is unbeaten and sits very nicely on top of everyone.
