Guys, Help me decide between the E50, E61, N80. The E62 has to go back by this Wed. Here is my delima.

E50 - Cheaper (could always save some $) Smaller, Cool Green Flashing Light Thingy
- But no Wifi
E61 - Excellent screen, Full Keyboard, About the same price
- No Camera
N80 - Sexy Sexy Sexy, Wifi, Better Camera than the E50
- Most Expensive.

I apprecate all your opinions.
 
E50 cause its uber sexy. had the E61 and i found wifi not really important to me plus it wasn't jeans friendly unless you wear baggy.

E61 would be my next choice and then the N80 is it was just slimmer.....don't care too much about the battery life on it as much as most do.
 
N80 has NEVER been deemed a failure. It is by far the best equipped phone available.

Poor battery life? Sure, but holds 2 days with normal usage. So it is completely usable.
 
I think each of them are for different lifestyles and are somewhat clearly defined as far as what you want out of a phone. Since I think most of us can agree spending $500+ on a N80 which was definitely a disappointment in many ways, the real choice is probably between the E61 and E50.

So essentially the decision (if we disregard features for the moment) is whether you rely more on your phone for its connectivity options and PIM ability (as well as heavy messaging), or whether you value a good working phone, that isn't quite so dedicated a PIM device, but looks pretty good.

Unless you're a heavy texter, or are a power PIM user (as in, someone who would appreciate a dedicated organizer or crackberry), then I'd say go for the E50. But I might be biased, because I'm reallllllyy wanting to pick one up myself!

Personally, I want the E50 because I value looks and feel a LOT, but will not comprimise that for functionality. I won't buy a pretty phone with little or no functionality - I'm willing to comprimise in the looks department for that. I use my phone heavily to keep me organized calendar-wise. I don't message, or browse the web, or retrieve e-mails with the phone, so that isn't really important.

So I think I found (almost) everything I'm looking for in the E50, at an acceptable price.
 
The weight balance is even. The center of mass is, well, near the center

Aside from the random popping and crackling (which I hope Nokia fixes soon with a FW update), call quality is excellent.
 
Quite a diverse selection mate, what do you want from the phone?

Personally if you're looking for a nice s60, I'd say the n73 wins hands down.
