I like the siemens design more but they are not known as great phones (the opossite in fact :sure: ) also Nokia makes high quality phones, they´re unbreakeble 😃 I vote for the Nokia by a long shot 🙂 ---

PS- why are you picking between these two. There are a lot more phones with better peformance and looks then those… and around the same price. ---

@ berkowitz: nokia does not make more durable phones in general. there are crappy phones with softwaremistakes from both factorers, it depends very much on the model you choose. (btw.: I have a nokia 6100, and it’s quite good, but I also know people who had a lot of problems with nokia phones) btw.: I would go with neither of those mobiles. Sony Ericsson has some cool mobiles and if I had to choose one now, it would be the t610 or the nokia 6230 or the siemens M65 ---

Im a active boy, and need of a strong phone, I do not like the soft cool, gentel look phones that most of u use, I like strong phones that will handel snow/dust…etc. Thats why Im choosing one of these 2 phones because there are not other who have the same thing. I have Nokia 5100 and I think its better that the 5140 after trying it 2day, the only thing is the new cam, and the desing I dont like the new desing, when holding the siemens, its cam and buttons and the look is way much better. but Im confussed. Im not sure, maybe siemens is doing good work this year. all start with bad and be better maybe siemens is going for the best on this phone, I felt in love with it but, what can I say, Im having trouble choosing. ---

In this case, I would go for the siemens if your into the hip of new technology. The nokia one seems to be alright but for one thing the color any supports 4096, new one have 65k. Nokia are now intergrating more ideas about entertainiment and display whilst keeping the good acessibilty of menus. I dont like the siemens front end though but its worth it overall. Personally, i wouldnt go for nokia or siemens. I like Samsung and models such as the e70, LG G7100, Panasonic X70 are good since my friends have these.
