E62 vs. 9300

I've seen a lot of threads about the E61 vs. the 9300. What do people think about the E62 vs the 9300, the E62 being inferior to the E61. I ask because, I can get the E62 or the 9300 free from Amazon, whereas the E61 will cost me more than $400's. (and a 9500 even more!) Thanks!
 
I myself did the same comparison, and reached this conclusion:

The E62 is probably your better bet:

1. S60v3 - there's a continuously growing application database for these devices. The 9300 runs S80, which is a dead OS. There will not be any more S80 devices, so there's no reason for developers to work with it.

2. Vibrate - the 9300 does not have vibrate

3. The outer screen on the 9300 is apparently VERY limited as to what you can do on it. I haven't played with one enough to know, but I'd take the E62 knowing I can do everything.

The E62, despite the features, is certainly the more updated of the 2.
 
Is the 9500 not a S80 device? Isn't that rather new?

Vibrate is a big thing for me, as I usually have my phone on vibrate. How it fits in my pocket matters the most to me though. (besides the other things that both phones have) That's why I have a RAZR right now, and I'm worried the E62 will be too wide to sit comfortably.
