Depends on the phone. Lots of people swear by Nokia because they were pretty much the best make during the late 90s and early 00's. Now, however, in my experience, Nokias are often affected by software issues rendering them pretty unreliable phones.
I have had far better luck with Samsung models. I work at a phone shop and we have to fix a far greater number of Nokias than we do Samsungs.
Saying this does not mean you will have problems with a Nokia, nor does it mean a Samsung would be problem free. I am merely explaining my experiences with the handsets.
