Nokia 8801 or Sony Ericsson K790/K800?

After seeing Casino Royale, I really want a K790 or a K800 (I'm a sucker for product placement). Unfortunately, I don't have enough $$ to spend on one, but I really wanted a new phone, so I ordered an 8801 from T-Mobile w/ a 2-year extension.

I'm thinking about selling the 8801 on eBay and then buying either the K790 or K800, but I'm not sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I think the 8801 has a bit of an edge in terms of style, but then again, the K790/K800 is Bond's phone. The Nokia however can't match the K790's camera, which is a bit of a downside.


:sigh: What should I do? Stick with the 8801 or try to flip it for the Ericsson?
 
Feature wise, the K790/K800 beats the crap out of the 8801, which is to be expected since the 8801 isn't meant to be a feature first phone. If you're looking for a phone that is extremely stylish and that's about it, then the 8801 is your choice. If you actually want features you can use, then the K790 is the way to go
 
because of tmobile's pricing. The market (ebay) for the 8801 is absurdly saturated. You wont get the full cost of a k790a off of it, but it is worth it to try (might get about half the cost if not a bit more).
 
Meh, thanks you guys. I got the 8801 and as soon as I saw the box and then the phone, I literally said "F it, I'm keeping it." I really love Bond's phone, but the 8801 still turns heads, even after being out for a year. It just looks stunning, and for 100 bucks, I don't see why I shouldn't just keep it and buy Bond's phone later down the line. The only real gripe I have besides the small keys (which I've gotten used to) is the lackluster camera, lack of flash, and smaller screen, which the K790a excels tremendously in, so I'll have to gather up the cash to buy it sometime soon.
