My SE S710a + $250 for N80, is it worth it?

Just like the title says. I've been away from Nokia for a while and I've been using SEs ever since. However, I've been looking again for a phone. Mainly because I want something with Wi-Fi. I was first considering the 8125 because it has that (I don't think I'll need the upgraded processor of the 8525). But now, someone just offered me his N80 for my S710 and $250. I've read user feedbacks (both positive and negative) and searched the forums. I just have that little twitch in the back of my head that is hesitant to pull the trigger. I've always wanted to go back to Nokia, but with an S40 like the 6300b. I'm still not sure about S60...but it's not a really big issue. So that's why I'm posting this question, is it worth it?
 
Meh, I don't think I'll go through with it. Going from one phone to another is getting to be real crazy. I'll be patient for either the N95 or the E90.
 
Depending on the condition of the N80 I would say hell yes it's worth it. However, even though it's a 3mp camera it's not far ahead (if at all) from the S710's picture quality. I had 2 of those and found that in good lighting they could produce pics much better than my N80s. Obviously the N80 is just a killer overall phone which is why I think it's worth it. Seeing that your coming from a chunky SE the N80s size wont annoy you either.
 
Wow. Thanks for the feedback on the trade. I thought that the response would mostly be bad because I heard about the N80's battery consumption. I got to try it out for a little bit because my friend had one, but never really went in-depth with it because I didn't need a smartphone at that time. The camera on the N80 is not a concern for me, I like to carry my digital camera around as well. I just always thought that having a camera on a cell phone is a bonus. That's why I sold my K790a a while back. I don't think the guy's N80 is in bad condition because he sounds like he's a collector. He partly wants my S710a because of the nostalgic feeling, and hardly anyone's using them anymore. Besides, he lives in a very upscale area, so I think I'm going to meet with him later on Saturday to check it out. It's just that you sometimes feel sad when it comes time to let go one of your favorite phones. However, I shouldn't, because I have enough parts to build 2 more S710's. And I thought my next phone would be a Windows Mobile...I guess I'm going to give S60 another try. Thanks again for your responses.
