Tero - you are so wrong! Only in standby time does Nokia excel. I just received some numbers from the manufacturers themselves:

Nokias 6190 (Best numbers on any of there dual phones with best battery):

270 min talk, up tp 300 hrs standby

Qualcomms QCP-820 (Most sold dual mode phone)

300 min talk, up to 65 hrs standby

The talk times on QCP phones is almost always significantly higher.

The weight of these phones is almost identical. BUT... you are missing one of the biggest points. The sound quality of the 820 blows away any of Nokias GSM phones. As a development engineer, and working with service providers, this is without question. In Seoul and in the US, GSM is not popular at all, from an operators perspective, because of capacity. With the customers, the biggest issues are clarity and no dropped calls, at which the QCP phones excel.
