I do not wish to start a war of choices here but only intend to correct your incorrect exaggeration. What do you mean when you say that Nokia has 'zillions of user-friendly features'? I have used both Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones and I can testify to the fact that Sony Ericsson phones are far more user-friendly than Nokia's. Here are a few examples:
1. If you have more than a single number stored for a contact, you can just use the left and right direction keys to navigate through the different numbers. In a Nokia phone, you have to select and open that contact and then use the up and down arrow keys to view the various numbers. You cannot view all the numbers directly in the phonebook.
2. When you are saving a number, Sony Ericsson phones give you the option of looking up existing contacts. This comes in handy when you are interchanging the numbers of two contacts. On a Nokia phone, you would have to either copy the number on paper or use the copy feature on Nokia's smartphones.
3. Sony Ericsson phones mantain a list of unsaved numbers. So, in case you forgot to save a number, you can always browse through that list. And this list does not only keep track of the unsaved numbers you received calls from. It lists the unsaved numbers you got SMS or MMS from, sent SMS or MMS to, received calls from or dialled calls to. Basically every unsaved number the phone encounters.
4. In Nokia phones, when you change the name of a contact or save a number with a name, all calls and messages received before you have edited or saved the contact do not change to reflect the new contact name. They still show the old contact name or the number itself.
5. When someone sends you a phone number in a text message on a Nokia phone, you have to go to 'Options >> View Details >> <some other option> >> Save number >> New Contact OR Update Existing'. On a Sony Ericsson phone, just use the direction keys to select the number withing the message itself, click 'Options >> Use <number> >> Save OR Call OR Send text message'.
6. ... I could go on, just let me know if you want me to list more user-friendly features.
So, THAT, my dear friend, is what user-friendliness is all about. OK, maybe you find Nokia phones more user-friendly than Sony Ericsson's, but saying that they have 'zillions of user-friendly features' and therefore, digit should feature Nokia phones in the A-list is just being partial to what you prefer (and most probably, own).
As for them having a huge market, how does it make the phone a better one than products from other companies?
And the good re-selling price is just an excuse. Nowadays, the prices of phones fall every week. The price of a phone you bought last year might not even be half of it now. So you are not going to get a good price on re-selling it anyway. And as of today, Sony Ericsson has as good a brand value in the mobile market as Nokia, so you will get as good a re-selling price as you would from a Nokia phone.
As for software, yes, since Nokia primarily makes Symbian phones, they do have lots of software. But it has drawbacks too. You have a lot of viruses for the Symbian platform circulating around and phones based on the Sysmbian operating system will always be slow. And if you want software, Sony Ericsson does make the 'P' series of phones which run on Symbian UIQ too.
