There is an added unseen benefit to the LG Choco reviews.cnet.com/4520-6602_7-5020356-1.html . Cool huh ?

Still though Im not sure one can abolish an entire brand. Most often a series of phones is the product of acquiring entire companies that specialize in one kind of HW/SW . For Nokia that’s 4 acquisitions, 2 for the N series, 1 for S, and 1 in the far past which gave birth to the communicator. All Nokia has ever made with their sole own resources is the original Navikey series . Devices that share brand rarely share anything else.

Unless ofcourse they are windows mobiles in which case uniformity is derived under decree of the big brother .

@Svelon: I’ve never had problems using a Sony-Ericsson phone, apart from the blasted space character that was hidden somewhere. I guess it’s all a matter of taste though. Which gets me to the next point…

@Stelios: NO. Nokia sucks. Period.

I’m glad you like it sweety
I guess that it’s all about what you’re used to. Sony-Ericsson phones have usability issues, too. The “back” and “c” buttons for example…

The best menu I’ve used was at the old Nokia’s, that was used to all the monocollored cellphones of the brand -yeah the really old ones. But even Nokia doesn’t have a convenient menu anymore.

I think it’s about patents nowdays, that no brand can create one truly good menu, with convenient buttons. If Sony-Ericsson uses the middle button for “menu-shortcut”, Nokia has to use another button (hence the absolutely stupid little side main menu button on Nokia phones), and so do all buttons, shortcuts, menus etc…
