in canada.. or @ least toronto/waterloo/kitchener most people use s.e and nokia... I was the biggest fan of s.e 2yrs ago...... then I found out about japanese phones... still use N90 though

i guess you could check the ratings on specific phones, instead of brands.

try CNET.

According to a recent survey I read in a newspaper, the world's #1 phone is Nokia, #2 is Sony/Ericcson, #3 is Samsung, #4 is Motorola, #5 is LG, #6 is Siemens, #7 is Blackberry and #8 is iPhone (Apple). Is this listing accurate? Frankly, I hardly ever see anybody using a Nokia, Sony, or Siemens phone. Mostly I see LG, Motorola and Samsung. Where can I find more information?
