Thread: Durability.

Sony phones offers great features but when it comes to durability then Nokia wins over it. Most sony phones are java based so are fast but there battery life is a problem and if once it falls from your hand then there are high chances that it will be damaged

Agreed
If you want to give a humpty dumpty fall then don't try with Sony but you can risk on Nokia
I had a sony w300i and I had to sell that phone because of durability factors only.

Nokia is have the most durable mobile phone and more over they also have the most sturdya and rought and tough mobile handsets in the market. Sony products are delicated.

Sony handsets are best for camera clarity and music. These are the main thing i i think Sony is targetting right now in mobile market and as of the nokia it has lots of features which is something very good for professional people.

As I said in one other post, I will consider the cell phone for its primary application first, i.e., telephony. All other factors are secondary to me. I currently have an O2 XDA IIi but I am not satisfied with its telephony - I depend upon it heavily for my Outlook contacts and Calendar. The messaging is much easier because of its touch screen and on-screen keyboard. In other respects:

- It has a music player but I mostly revert to my iPOD for music
- It has camera but I depend upon my Nikon N70 (film SLR), Nikon D80x (digital SLR), Kodak Z650 (compact digital) for this
- It has wi-fi, bluetooth, Pocket Office, PDF reader, etc. which are nice to have

But it is still frustrating when I wish to use it as a phone - the ringer is too low, the signal catching is poor, I often hear people complain on the other side that they are unable to hear me...

sony have great mobile phones. I have one of there mobile phone T610 and it is really a great handset. i really love its design and also it is very stable.

Hi
Well if u say nokia makes the best sturdy models then i really doubt.....
Sony phones atleast have excellent sound quality even in models which are of low range .......nokia does have good sound .
Also WATER :
Nokia phone does not start for sure if it gets wet ......where as i have been using samsung phone which i unfortunately managed to get wet 3 times but still it works as if new......
