Nokia E65 or SE W880i?

I'm mainly looking for good batterylife that takes decent pictures and is packed with good features. I LOVE the design on the E65, the w880i's keys are a little small, for texting would be kinda hard to get used to on the w880i.
I would possibly use it as an Mp3 player, but the E65's Wifi would keep me going for long hours as well. Does the E65 play youtube videos on WiFi?

I've used an n73, and the menus and camera were very laggy... I just hope the e65 won't let me down

What do you guys think? They're around the same price range right now
 
The N73 and E65 are both S60 so they are both going to be equally sluggish.

If you want better battery life and music playing abilities, i'd just get the SE, unless the WiFi is really all that important to you.
 
I saw a video on youtube, and it noted that the E65 runs more responsive through the menus than the other S60 3rd edition phones, so that kind of caught my attention

I don't like the form of the W880, to thin for my hands i prefer sliders, maybe i should wait out for the slider W580i?
 
I have the Nokia e60, it's sluggish as hell, never getting another S60 based phone, that's why my next phone will probably be the W880i or K810i.
 
Don't expect the w880i to take great pictures.

The e65 on the other had will be better overall, although a little slower in comparison.

I'd personally go for the e65 out of those two. Why pay smartphone prices for a w880i when you're getting a real smartphone (e65) for a similar cost.
 
The W880i looks sweet and is very music-orinented. SE has a bunch of stuff out there in terms of accessories that totally enhance the music experience like speaker desk stands, headphones (wired and non-wired) and even bluetooth watches that can control the music remotely.

Unless you are getting it for the thin form factor, I'd wait for the SE K850, 5 Megapixel Cybershot to come out.

The E65's advantages are the S60 smartphone OS, quadband, which is helpful, is sometimes required depending on where you live and travel to in North America and WiFi. I'm not sure if the menu speed is any faster than the N73 though as I've never tried the device.

If I were to get a Nokia with WiFi, it would either be an E61i or E70 for the full qwerty or the N95 for the form factor.
 
I say go to downtown find an unlocked mobile shop and use the phones for a few minutes, see if you can live with the E65 lags. I can't.

Did you think about Samsung options? I can't buy their phones cause they don't support Hebrew fonts (unlike Nokia and SE), BUT if they would - I would defiantly take a look at the U600 or the new U100 (I find the U100 amazing!).
 
Yeah, maybe i'll drop by my shop and let you know what I want haha
I tried the U600, but it totally turned me off because it turned my pictures into a ****ty BRIGHT oversaturated look when using my 3.2mp camera. changing the ISO wouldn't do nuts, so i totally gave up on samsung. touchscreen i got used to, but i couldn't live with the batterylife. everyday i would have to charge it from listening to the music for like 30 minutes.
I don't really MIND quadband, I live in central vancouver, and I've never received any dropped calls at all with my 703shf, which is tri-band.
