Nokia e65 vs. HTC S710 vs.?

[Carolinee S]

Hi everyone.

New to the board, and I am looking to make purchase my first unlocked phone. I've always been one to take whatever decent phone the provider would offer with their plans.

Anyway, I've had enough with service contracts and I want to buy an unlocked phone now. I am moving from NYC back to Toronto and I want to get something before I move back to use on Rogers.

My top to choices are the HTC S710 and Nokia e65.

What I'm looking for:
- quad band
- qwerty keyboard preferred, for IM and SMS
- designated numeric keys a must
- camera
- mp3/video player
- reliability/service
- quality ... i don't know much about HTC
- something that has some style ... not a huge issue between these phones as i like both

ive heard good things about the S710, i would also recommend the Nokia E70.
ipts in the same class as the S710, but its a Nokia, has Symbian S60 and a better camera.

Since keyboard is important to you, id suggest staying away from E65, and since you want designated number keys then i guess it pretty much comes down to HTC S710 or Nokia E70, do your research and find out which you like, i personally love Nokia, I just bought an E61i

I've only heard positive things about the S710 from the usage/keyboard point of view. I'd stay away from E65 due to lack of QWERTY.
