Which of these two should i get? Im on a time frame and i doubt i will get a good deal on a e61. Taking out the wifi, the e62 is the same phone but essentially loses the biggest part of the appeal. I can get an unlocked M600 (white) practically new for $230 but i can get a BNIB e62 for anywhere between $170-$200.

The convenience would be the e63 because its alittle cheaper and i already have a 2gb miniSD but it would be cingular locked and branded. I would have to buy another memory card (atleast 1gb) for the M600i. I put alot of music and videos on my phones so this is a must in terms of having media storage. The other thing would be the quadband on the e62 thats a plus. Im in Atlanta so Cingular is mostly 850 here. Ive used 1900 phones here (my w900) and i really only lost signal in malls but thats about it. It is annoying though.

A big thing to me is the display too. From my understanding the e62 has a very good display at 16mp vs the M600i's 262k. Im not too keen on the technical differences between 16 megapixel display and a 264k display on a screen that small (320x240 for both) but i do want the best display though because of the videos. What should i get? I need to get one by this weekend.

e62 Pros-
Better display possibly
Cheaper
I already have 2gb miniSD
quadband

e62 Cons-
The display may not be better
Locked and branded
MP3 and Video app may be mediocre
Only wanted e61 for wifi and the e62 doesnt have it

M600i Pros-
Love the looks
May have a better display
Used to SE UI phones
Touchscreen
MP3 and Video app is pretty good
Unlocked and unbranded

M600i Cons-
More expensive
Doesnt have 850 (may lose signal)
Will have to buy an extra m2 card since 64mb is too small (atleast 1gb)

Which one should i get?
 
dont buy M600i it aint meant for north american market, even though it looks nice and has touch screen, it is not worth the money. E61 would be the best choice, it is quadband, got wifi, and better display. If you wait for a bit there is a newer version coming out called E61i which is thinner than E61, but adds a 2 megapixel camera.

if u don't mind the looks, then i think e62 is better in terms of speed, stability and usability. I have the m600i, like it for its form-factor, touchscreen. However it is laggy, and unstable at times. So if you don't mind the larger size and lack of pda usability (touchscreen), then advice you to go for the e62.

Can goto my website below for list of compiled reviews. Planning to incorporate a phone comparison function on my site soon, which will be very useful for you. Stay tuned! =)
 
actually, have u considered the treo series? If i had a choice, wld go for these than either of your choices, but that's just my opinion.

Have finally added in a phone comparison feature in my site (www.atlantiz.sg/motorola-a1200-Specs.php). You can select any 2 models of phones and it will list the vital specs and reviews side-by-side for your comparison =)
However, this function can only be found under MOTOROLA phones now as i'm implementing it in phases, do check it out and give me your comments!
