N80, N91, E60...pocketable??

I'm looking to get either an N80, N91, or E60. I realize the E60 not exactly in the same roundup as the other 2 but I'm still debating as to whether or not I want a phone with a camera since I just bought an ultra-portable 6mp digicam last month...

Anyway, are either of these 3 pocketable in a jean pocket (semi-loose?) I used to have an e61 that fit well in my jean pocket, although much bigger and I would say that it would be uncomfortable and impractical. What do you guys think?

Also, as far as N91 vs N80 and ignoring the fact that the N91 has 4gb storage...which phone would you choose? One is thick and big and the other is just realllly thick.

decisions decisions.....


Thanks!
 
If you don't care about camera i'd say that E60 can't be beat for the money. Hi-res screen, wi-fi, landscape mode, extremely solid built, fits nicely into jeans pocket. However since you're on Cingular you probably don't want to buy non 850mhz phone. Maybe you should reconsider E50. I hardly ever use wi-fi, and find edge to be plenty fast as well as more stable. Maybe it's just that my phone doesn't handle wi-fi very well.
 
I'm leaning towards the n91 now. Seems it can effectively get rid of my ipod on everything but the longest journeys, awesome! How is the battery life though? and would it be a huge nousance in my pocket/look very huge when talking on it? Is there anything I can compare it to? The only "high end" smartphone I've had is an E61 so...

thanks!

ps: any pics comparing the N91 to something like an iPod? can't find any thus far...
 
Back to the RAM issue, we can see from this link that E61 has 20mb free for user run programmes while the N80 has 18mb. This 2mb extra makes little difference though... I had an E61 very briefly for a day, and in that small period, I saw the out of memory message a couple of times (and that was after updating to the latest firmware available at the time). It shows that the E61 isn't invincible when it comes to being out of memory!
 
well I think I'm going to go back to the E61. Besides lacking the camera it's simply the only phone that has all the features I need (wifi, 850 and 1900, decent amount of RAM, under $350 used, etc).

I'm really liking the E70-2 (850/1900 version) but I see some complaints about quality and apparently some people are complaining about the RAM available. However, on that comparison page posted above, it has only 2mb less than the E61/60 in regular mode and ~6mb less in landscape mode...that shouldnt make too much of a difference it seems, should it??

maybe I should reconsider the e70-2 since that if the issues above can be solved, it's the ideal phone over the e61....opinions?

thanks again guys!
 
I think I'm leaning towards the n91 right now. Only thing keeping it from being perfect in my eyes are the size (i think?) and I hear the screen isnt amazing, but coming from the original V3 RAZR I don't think it'll be too terrible for me.

tell me about the size of the N91, I've only seen it in pics. Itll be able to fit comfortably in my pocket? Will i look retarded talking on it since it's fairly big or am i blowing the size way out of proportion?

any insight would be awesome! thanks
 
OK sorry to be annoying but I just found a great deal on an E70-2, barely used for $300 + ship. Should I go for it? I mean the e61 I know will suit me well but this has the potential to be even better and I would rather have a phone I havent used before than another E61 anyway... any comments on the RAM or other problems some people have with the e70??

thanks!
 
so any reason not to buy an e70-2 in great condition for $320 shipped overnight (need asap)?? I gotta send the $$ as soon as possible so let me know what u guys think?!

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get it but just wanna make sure I'm not missing some fatal flaw. apparently the somewhat low-ish RAM issue when web browsing can be remedied by turning off the mini-browser/history so it never happens, fine with me! I mean i NEVER had this issue with my e61 and that only has 2mb more RAM available while browsing apparently. PLUS, people report this issue when running a number of other background apps, which i'd rarely be doing.


thanks in advance
 
Dude I had the N73, N91, and now I own an N80.

Forget the N91..that thing is bulky and too large and heavy people will be laughin at you..the phones a large metal brick

Get the N80...small, but thick but is awesome to hold, keypad is large, screen is nice, camera isn't comparable to the N73...but it's still a nice phone. Got mine for 350 brand new on ebay just a few days ago..oh and i can resell it for 430 if i wanted to. It's black and made in Finland ..haha ..steal?

whatever u do..don't get the N91. Go for a N73 or a N80...oh that e60..forget it. its a microwave
