I have wanted to get a spare phone for quite some time. I am really tight on my budget. Right now I have a T68i (latest FW). I want to get a spare phone incase of an emergency. What I have been looking at are the T39m/mc and the R520m/mc models since they contain the features I want (WAP, SMS, Bluetooth, IR, etc.). However, I cannot decide which model to select. I know where to buy both phones, brand new, unlocked, in the box... Can you please help me decide which to buy? Forget the t300/t310 and t68i/t610 because they exceed my budget. I'm looking at the T39m/mc and R520m/mc (size does not matter). Which is better?!

Thanks for your input.

I've had 'em both and I preffered the 520.
Reason being the bigger screen. Simple as that...

I kind of agree the T39 looks better but the size of the screen really is a major point to me. I nearly went nuts scrolling through one and one line when WAP'ing.

I have had both, sold my T39 because of the screen size, and now have two R520m's. One is a prototype TU1, but I much preffer the R520m, it seems better put together than the T39m.

Both the two phones are great. Suggest to get an R520m if the size does not problem for you. I just gave one set of my two R520 phones to a friend.

Well.. I've had the T39 and simply loved the phone. Still one of the best non-colour phones on the market if u ask me. Never did consider the R520 because of it's size and general appearance.
