Nokia dumbphones vs. other smartphones

[tamhanna]

If you would tell us what Nokia you are on, I could tell you more.

Incidentially: most Nokia phones can run J2ME apps. J2ME is just MINIMALLY different from what runs on RIM devices (coded for both!)

I just bought another Nokia the C3 touch and type. I haven't put it to use yet. I still have my trusty 8330 and haven't had a need to switch to the Nokia yet. But I will when my contract is up and I can switch back to AT&T. The Nokia is actually faster than my wife's 9930. It does just about everything other than gps. And with AT&T's $50 unlimited plan for prepaid dumbphones, you can't beat it. Plus it let's you tether for free. It doesn't have a full qwerty keyboard though. But I really don't need it that badly. Another plus is that the phone was less than $200 full retail. That's cheaper than a lot of the smartphones even after subsidy.
