I agree with you on that devilishcry. Same old shit just new covers which you can later get from mobile phone shop (not by Nokia) and voila they actually interchangeable. 6610 and 6100 (camera handsfree difference). 8210 and 8250, 8310 and 6510 the same goes on and on

Nokia`s secret to success is because they know what the majority of phone buyers wan`t, every time a fashion concious young person (school age kids all tend to buy Nokias) go`s into a phone shop there is a new model out AND THEY WANT THE LATEST THING. Also the reason the 5110 became a hit was changeable covers, so the other thing Nokia offer is visual individuallity. look at music,pop chart music has a fast turnaround & makes loads of money & it`s mainly old tunes repackaged..... remind you of a phone maker ???....
I don`t think Nokia & SE are in competition, i think they will continue to serve different groups.

So what???? What's the matter???
Nokia are free to release whatever. The point is that they offer products (with similar functionality or not) to all market segments. They can afford to do it, and the market is so.
Take Samsung also as an example, and their success story. There's hardly any difference between their phones.
Yet, for Nokia as well as for Samsung, over their wide product range, you find all functionality spread (or not) in all phones.
Take a look at the market share of these two, and how fast Nokia and Samsung are increasing. Eating significant portion of e.g.
and Siemens who can't afford doing this, and if they remain like they are now, will not survive long.
You have to understand that people want choice, and availability. People want a supermarket, not a russian shop with long queues to buy just two stuff. They want to be able to buy phones with different designs yet similar functions, and phones that meet their needs. Some are definitely more successful than others to understand their customers.

Mornin, super g! I agree. We, the people in here, do not represent the average buyer. Don't forget that \"joe sixpack\" don't care about all the features we care about. Nokia knows what the public want, and they provide it. Although they should be carefull about rushing out handsets that aren't ready, cause that results in bugs which results in unhappy customers which results in bad reputation which will hurt sales eventually.

the big difference is that th 6100 is a flip-phone, and there is a qwerty-keypad on the inside... also, when you open the phone, the screen turns around 90 degrees...

Many people think about a phone as something they wear.
Like clothes. It's all about fashion for them. A cool look or a cool color.
Nokia understood that, and took advantage of it.
Well, I'm not saying that I like Nokia, I'm just saying that they are very good at marketing.
And I wish SE could make some more "similar" models. I would love a smaller and lighter P800 without the camera, and with a different color (not baby blue). Then I would have bought it

One of the clever things that nokia does is have many different modeils at the same time. So when you are in a phone store, there is one wall full of nokia phones, whilst se has 3 models (t68i, t600 and t300). So nokia seem to be offering the consumer a lot more choice, the consumer says I like the look of this one, and takes it. With se it's take it or leave it, this is our small cheap, colour cheap, or high end colour phone, and that's it.
It's pretty clever really, better for nokia to have lots of models and leave the choice to the consumer, than to decide for them.

People have different opinions, some think nokia are causing there position and others dont, if people want to buy a new version of a phone just for an extra feature then let them, who cares. Personally im the type of person that would buy a new version just for an extra feature, that dont make me stupid! I dont like nokia phones but i dont think there a bad company!
