Samsung D807 vs Nokia 6682

I can get both phones at the same price from Cingular, but I just cannot decide. I like the design of Samsung a lot better.. but it does not come with a data cable. I think the Nokia's camera is better (not sure, correct me if i'm wrong), but its videos are of much worse quality. The Nokia comes with headphones, I think the Samsung doesn't.

Help!
 
Well, the 6682 is now officially discontinued by Cingular.
However, there are still some around at some stores and EBAY.
The questions about the 6682 are:
1.) Can you live with Symbian?
2.) Is it too large?
Other than that, a great phone.
Oh, and:
3.) NOKIA's PC suite is horrible. Every time I hook up a 6682, I get a "found new hardware" in XP. EVERY TIME. Unless I am doing something wrong?
The D807's negatives are:
1.) Hard to dial without looking at the keypad (for me)
2.) Low ringer and speaker volume. The speakerphone was hard to hear in my car, and it is a quiet car.

Other than that, don't know.

I was also considering the 6131 or whatever model Cingular will eventually have like it, or the 6270.

I have had both in the past, and i would suggest the Nokia. It is a bit bigger than the d807 and if you dont mind the size then the Nokia 6682 is the way to go. You can do so much more with the nokia than the Samsung.
 
Can you get MP3's from a PC directly to a memory card with it?
I tried one once, but the stuff that Cingular was trying to sell you got in the way.
Is the 6682 speakerphone loud enough?

I have never used the Symbian OS. What are its flaws? If it's just an issue with navigation, I'm sure I'll get used to it.. (I had an Innostream before.. did not like it at all)

How so?

I'm also worried about Nokia's headphone jack.. You cannot just plug in a regular earphones. Are the provided ones adequate?
 
As for Symbian, it does not have flaws, it is just an OS that you have to get used to to take full advantage of it.
Kind of if you have never used Linux, and have to use it for the first time.
There are a lot of apps for it. I just found it a bit awkward, and have not dedicated time to get fully used to it, but people LOVE it.
As for the headphone jack, there is a $3 adapter that gets you from NOKIA's jack to a regular headphone jack.
I bought one on EBAY for $14 shipped (I am dumb!!)

the mp3/picture transfer is another issue.. can i freely do that with either phone? i heard something about cingular limiting their phones....
 
The 6682 comes with software and a data cable, so you can get stuff to and from the PC. I just never figured out how to get the MP3's to the memory card, skipping the phone memory, but I am sure there is something simple that I missed.

I took my 6682 back to Cingular a few weeks ago, but I can't find anything better, so I will probably buy one this week, although my local Cingular stores no longer have any. They send the ones they had back.
