Nokia is also typically more efficient when it comes to how it builds a phone. While an iPhone requires around 1,000 components, Garcha says Nokia's 5800 needs only half that number.

"And based on the anecdotal evidence I've seen, tall people have a more pleasant disposition and are more easygoing. They don't have to make an extra effort to command attention.
