Hi there.

Anybody care to venture which they see as better? The SE got a good review in Tone magazine, but my heart leans towards Mr Nokia - email features look a bit stronger for example........

Have you actually used either? You may play with them and find one much better than the other

Having used both, I would say that they are both are very good handsets.

The 6120c is a very stable/"does everything the box says it should" Nokia. Email is good, and I even had exchange sync running (much better than the SE). Lots of S60 apps are available for download.

The SEC510a has a better camera, and I like the slidey lens cover.. and about almost all the same features.

Its a personal choice.. Perhaps head into a store to compare?

Every phone is best suited to the person that uses it, i have always backed nokia but on the 6121c the buttons at the top of the phone are too small for me and i feel like a basketball player playing with a kitten. the sony has nicer buttons and i love the bigger higer res screen. its a newer phone and has a 24mth warranty against the 12mth one on the nokia. i would go for the c510, it is very pretty in black. if the sony was in prison its nickname would be fish. its that good looking.

My Opinion not anybody elses.

I have a 6120c. Email functions are great. I use IMAP & Exchange Activesync.

Camera is pretty average at best in good light, and total mass-hattery (drop the 'm') in bad light.

Wish I had gotten a Sony I think, though for the price its pretty darn good.

S60 is great.

Cheers - the fish it is..... TH - love your sig. Hopefully he is just seen as an arrogant sh*t and gets put away for a long stretch. He could make the acquaintance of 'fish' as above... hehehe
