My first post in this thread. Currently I have a Samsung E600, which replaced the earlier Samsung E715 that replaced the earlier Samsung SCH 8500... you get the idea. I have been a Samsung user since 2000, mobile user since 1999 when I started with a Motorola phone which was a piece of junk. Not a frequent changer, still on my 4th phone in 7 years.

My cellphones have to be clamshell type and small enough to fit in my jeans pant front pocket sharing place with my car keys. That explains why Samsung has been my favourite vendor, they make the smallest clamshell phones. While they make very sturdy/small cellphones, can't say much about the features and software, quite pathetic actually.

Right now I am looking for a change and I am having Nokia N71 in my viewfinder. Yes, it is bigger/heavier than my usual phones, but I feel my pocket can accommodate it, the features are worth it. I like the positives, but are there any negatives? I saw some review where it said that the folded part has some play because of average hinge quality. Also, any idea about the price in India.
