I really like both phones, but I can't make up my mind, its driving me crazy, so I need some help deciding, please.

N95

Pros: Nice Screen, Great Camera/Video Recorder, Symbian OS, GPS, Nice Stereo Speakers, 3.5mm headphone
Cons: No QWERTY keyboard, Low battery for talk time, expensive ($650)

S710

Pros: Nice Design, QWERTY keyboard, longer battery life, cheaper ($450), Nice Screen
Cons: WM6 (I prefer Symbian if I had a choice), No GPS, no 3.5mm headphone

I mostly use my phone for talking, messaging, music (thats why i prefer a 3.5mm for my nice headphones), surfing and games.

I really like both companies, but ultimately I can't decided. Is it worth $200 for GPS, 3.5mm, a better camera and more powerful phone? Or should I just be happy with my $200 and a full size keyboard?

Your opinion matters so please let it be known. Thanks
 
U can get urself a 5mp camera + GPS reciever for the 200bucks you save, however N95 puts it all in one device. As much as I love HTC products, I'd get the N95 and a spare battery.
 
My brother has the N95, and I really like it, but I wish it had a full size keyboard. Before my brother got the N95, he had the Nokia 6800 (the one with unfolding fullsize keyboard) and he even admits he misses the full keyboard. Also, when people see his phone, they aren't impressed immediately cause the design is okay. Its when he tells them about everything it has, people are impress. Whereas, from the reviews I've read about the S710, as soon as people see the sliding keyboard, they are immediately impressed. I wished the N95 had more eye candy. I know it shouldn't matter because its a great phone regardless, but nevertheless I did wish it was there.
 
Can you wait a few months for HTC to start releasing Symbian S60 devices? Rumor is they're considering other platforms besides Windows Mobile now.
 
I would wait if I had a timeframe of some sort. I'm anxious to buy one now, but I can wait a little bit. Can't wait that long either, there are always newer, better phones coming out, eventually I'm gonna have to pick one.
