Review: I was surprised to see many of the reviewers were saying that Motorola has more features than Nokia. I am thinking the other way around, unless you compared to only the Nokia's available in U.S. I think Nokia is having a hard time selling to the operators in the U.S. In other parts of the world where Nokia dominates, usually the retails are strong and operators are not as dominant. To be successful, Nokia needs to improve its relationship with the operators, and get its brand name out, with nicer design. Without the operators' subsidy, nobody is going to pay for $300+ for a phone in the U.S., even with better design and features. Nokia used to be associated with coolness, now it has lost the association.

Review: Hi, I have been in this business for the last 10 years. Till recently Nokia had won the game due to two key reasons. 1) They won at the style game, colours, shapes, size and appeal. 2) Easy to use menues. Neither of these they are winning in now - Motorola has outclassed them by far and Nokia success in itself is getting to them. They are boring and bland design wise.

Review: Apparently the Razr and its offspring still have considerable appeal worldwide, but customizing handsets (and features on them) for each major carrier has got to be a win-win strategy for Motorola and carriers alike. Let's see if together they can bring out some of those "successors," as mentioned in the article.

Review: Hey, I have had a lot of Nokias and yes they were more reliable that my previous Motorolas, but right now, I would not change my Razr for any Nokia in the world. It is much harder to break (key for users like me) and much more sophisticated than Nokia. Besides, I have been waiting for a while to get my hands on the Moto-Q.

Review: First things first. Moto beats Nokia in the U.S. and it is not a fluke! It only happens if people prefer to buy Moto phones. As far as product design goes, there is no doubt that Moto phones beat Nokia any day. Yes, if Nokia wants to unseat Moto in the U.S. market, it will have to do better than keep throwing boring candy bar phones with different size and color keypads. I agree, Nokia phones have more user friendly software interface but I believe Moto has improved it's UI a lot since the Star Tac days. Wait till Moto Q comes on the market, as it is one device I would closely watch. Lastly, please do not blame phones for not picking proper signals and dropping calls. Blame your network!

Review: I have owned phones from both Nokia and Motorola, and yes, Motorola phones look better and have better features. But they are cheap phones that break easily. I love Nokia. It was simple. I was able to get reception anywhere and it lasted longer.

Review: Nokia makes a great phone, but just not for any U.S. provider. The Motorola is all hype and they are planning nothing new but different colors of RAZRs or price cuts on their other non-performing models. But if Nokia wants to gain market share, they are going to have to release more than three phones in the states per year!

Review: My daughter had a Nokia but wanted a flip phone. She got a Motorola because Nokia did not have a flip phone in the U.S. The Motorola kept breaking so when Nokia put out the flip phone in the U.S., she got rid of the Motorola and got a Nokia 6102. She never had problems with any of the Nokia phones she has owned. Nokia is more reliable. They do need to have a slim phone to compete with Motorola in the US.

Review: Nokia beating Motorola in North America is as likely as Motorola beating Nokia in Finland!

Review: I use a Razr 90% of the time, but when I'm in Europe I use a Nokia, and I have to say that Nokia's interface is much easier to use then Motorola's -- making it a good phone for non-techies.
