I've currently got a Nokia 6600 and as of last month a K700i which i got with my o2 online contract. I'm stuck with which phone i should keep. I like my 6600 but the SE is much smaller and feature packed and the mp3/radio is pretty impressive. So my questions are:

What would you guys go for - the Nokia or SE?
Are there any bad points on the K700i I should know about?

well most people here will opt for K700 as it is an site.

I prefer 6600 as it has many more applications you can download & use. [addsig]

thanks guys. i know the 6600 is more powerful in the fact that it has symbian os therefore you can install loads of apps etc.. but to be honest i don't really need the symbian os!

i've got a large(ish) mmc card in my 6600 with some games, apps and mp3s on. The games and apps i havent used for a while and the mp3s are ok but obviously play in mono. Its looking like i may be going for the k700i then!!

Go for 6600 anyway, it is much better, except for the radio, there isnt much the k700 can boast about, i did go for k7 because i am a nokia hater. Mem slot is its greatest advantage. I wud have said symbian but you do not have its use. 6600 is an older model but is more cheaper than k700.

When i was buying my phone, i had a choice between the 6600 and K700. I do not need the amount of mem that 6600 had to offer so i went for the K700.

Also the 6600's size vs the K700's size was a crucial factor in my decision. I felt that 6600 was too bulky.

Depending on your usage you may want to consider talktime and standby time, since i believe the K700's is lesser.

The k700's screen clarity and brightness is far better than the 6600's.

the only good thing about Nokia 6600 is that it has MMC expansion slot.

Manish, use k700i for atleast a week and u may think of changing ur opinion although these two are very different phones and hence depends on the person for what purpose he want to use his phone for

@eggster2k, it all depends on what type of guy you are and what you consider important in a phone. What features do you need/prefer?
resistance is futile.

blackspot - all i need in a phone is a nice large clear screen, mp3 player and radio would be useful, games now and then but not really crucial, wallpaper/theme customisation, vga camera/video recorder & player, bluetooth, calendar and easy to text (i get 500 free a month!) and call. I think that's about all!!
