Ok,
Well, I know that there are some mighty big SE fans here, so I was thinking of joining the club. I'm looking for a solid backup phone that is easy to carry around, has a nice keypad for texting, and plays music well. So here are my comparing factors:
W810i:
+ superior camera, I've never really had a phone with a great camera so this might really be good, or I might be indifferent...can the W810i replace a point and shoot?
+ look of the UI, nice themes
+ nice screen for the res
- never really like the square look
- precious camera has no cover
- no 3.5 mm jack
- I have one lined up for $200 CDN, $50 more than the ROKR E2 I have lined up
- one I would get would need to be unlocked and reflashed
ROKR E2
+ rare, won't see it anywhere else
+ amazing screen
+ new operating system is just as good as the SE one, but doesn't look as cool AND, it can play videos in landscape (right?)
+ $50 cheaper with a bigger memory card
+ great sound quality, 3.5 mm jack
+ better battery life
+ better music controls
- crappy cam, its not even in the landscape format
- I don't mind the look, but thats just from the pictures...is it really as ugly as everyone else says it is?
- lowly "Motorola" brand, not your fancy pants "Sony Ericsson" status symbol
Both phones do well on the music storage, both have FM radios, both have good displays, both are relatively rare, both are quadband.
So, if you look at my list it really seems like the E2 is better. But in this forum its ALWAYS "the W810i is the best." I don't know whether to trust the specs or opinion in this case.
