My 6682 isn't working anymore, so I need a new S60 smartphone.

The main thing is I use my phone as a phone, PDA, mp3 player, and camera. Wireless is a nice addition.

I've gotten down to 5 phones because I use Cingular, so I need 850.

N80, N73, E70, E50, 6682

N80 Pros - Has everything I want.
N80 Cons - Most Expensive, Bad Battery Life

N73 Pros - Best Camera
N73 Cons - Expensive, no wireless

E70 The current frontrunner
Pros - Good display size, good colors, good RAM, 2.0 Camera (not 3, but better than 1.3), and wireless
Cons - NO CAMERA FLASH... being that I use my phone as my main camera most of the time, will not having a flash be bad??

E50
Pros - Basically a 6682 with a better screen and more RAM
Cons - No Camera Flash again, also is a lot more expensive than the 6682 when all you are geting is more RAM.

6682
Pros - Cheap
Cons - Nothing new, since I've had the phone for over a year.

So I'm leaning towards the E70, the only thing holding me back is not having a camera flash. Thoughts...
 
If camera w/ flash is your greatest concern then go with the N73. I understand your dilemma, having phones with OK cameras but no flash makes them practically useless in the dark and low-light environments, which is why I'm getting a Sony Ericsson K790a myself as my next phone because of the top-notch camera and Xenon Flash.

Personally I think the upcoming N95 is the best of the N-Series phones so if I were to ever get a Nokia smartphone it would be that one. If you text and email quite a bit the full QWERTY of the E70 can't be beat. As a bonus it is probably the smallest phone that has GSM850, WiFi and a full qwerty I've ever seen.

Not sure what your budget is but since you are on Cingular you can get the e70 and the n73 and swap your SIM card between phones as needed. That's the beauty of GSM.
 
Ya, the N95 is gonna be around $700 though and that's a bit much. Also, the N73 is $75 more and you get a lesser screen, colors, ram, and no wireless.

So I'm paying an extra $75 for a camera.

However, being that a camera is probably one of the things I use most on my phone...

Have you actually had a phone with flash vs. without? Is the difference that big?
