Nokia have produced some iconic phones which have stood the test of time but I haven't seen anything impressive from them since the touchscreen revolution. I thought the 5800 was downright awful - not sure what you liked about it but the touch response was pathetic and it felt like it was made out of really cheap plastic, coming from a beautifully crafted Sony Ericsson K790i. Build quality better than Samsung isn't saying much anyway. The Lumias seem pretty decent from what I've seen in stores, but Windows Mobile isn't for me.
Last week my aunt visited us and her Nokia E something phone just refused to boot up after a restart. A quick Google told us that it was a motherboard failure, a common problem with that particular model.
My main concern was about Nokia Care in India though. We had to put up with similar crap when my father had to take in his N97. I've had much better service from HTC and Sony Ericsson simply because they had far less customers to deal with.
Anyway, I'm not implying that Micromax is better than Nokia. I've never owned any of their phones to form an opinion. But they are creating a market for themselves, and this is good for all of us as consumers since it gives us a choice and keeps the giants on their toes.
