I have always bought SE phones, and have been very pleased with them, they have always been one step ahead of other brands.
But now i am considering buying a 6600, because it has symbian and other things, that appear to be as good or better that the k700.
As a plus (on the nokia side) the k700 is not yet out on vodafone live, and im not going to spend 450 euros on a phone...
Any reasons why not to go ahead?
All opinions are welcome!
thanks [addsig]

Comparing the 6600 with the K700 isn't right imho. Both are entirely different phones. Belonging to dif categories.

Although i am a die hard se fan, i recommend you go for the nokia cause it is a good phone and in a higher category than the k700 although their prices are similar ( prices of the k700 will probably come down after the launch of the s700). But all said and done go for the phone that you like the most.

if u hv not used a Series 60 smartphone before then you should try one. It'll give u a whole new level of experience.

I hv the T68 before my 6600 and won't be going back to SE for a while unless SE come out with a smartphone that is not overbloated and overpriced.

My wife is from Finnland will not own anything other than a Nokia and subsequently has a 6600. She liked it until she saw how quickly I can do more things, such as sending an SMS, MMS, etc... than on her 6600. She still will not own anything other than a Nokia but admits the K700i is a much faster phone in terms of functionality. However, the two phones are not comparable. You have Series 60 Symbian and a "normal" mobile phone operating system. I am not a Nokia fan but the 6600 is not bad at all.

Considering the many 'faults' the SE K700/i fone has now, I'll go for the Nokia 6600 mate It has an expandable memory card slot as well Had it not been for those silly bugs, the SE K700/i fone model is the handset to beat at the moment If the Nokia 7610 is available in your choices, then why not consider it mate

6600 is a good phone but: heavier and bigger than k700, mono sound, no radio

Or no mp3 built in. But u can downlmad these plus shed loads of other apps including opera for internet, zip file-ms word readers, gameboy emulators. The list goes on and some come at a price. If its expandability for storage and apps then go for 6600. Just test it first, as it took me ages 2 get used mine. If u can afford it get 7610 as it has better camera. If only se had a series 60......

i do not own a k700, but i did own a 6600, it's a nice phone but if you own a 7650 or 3650 before, you will be bored, they're the same phones but in different casing, sizes, though some minimal improvements are done...K700 is not a smart phone but it has the killer features you need to kick off 6600...it has a in-built photo light if you wanna take pics at dark...the themes are fun to look at because it is not stationary, i mean while on standby, there are themes which show moving bubbles or flashing lightning...so it's really cool..though it does not have an expandable memory, 41mb is enough for a phone...video recording for k7 is up to 45mins...i once dropped my 6600 and you know what?, it does not boot anymore, it's very sensitive...i sold it, and planning to buy a k700i...

If you already have a PDA,you just need a k700i.
As a phone like 6600,its pda function is not good enough.
