W890 looks great to me. Tried once, IMO keypad is very small. If you have big hand then maybe you have some difficulty; Specially Call key and End key very small to press. But overall it’s a nice phone. |

W760 IMO ....
W760 has a bigger screen 2.2 while W890 2.0 only
advanced Accelerometer in W760 while there is no Accelerometer in W890
GPS in W760 ........ no in W890
W760 has Stereo Speaker and better sounds quality than W890
W760 has the a newer version of Java than W890 so it must be a less laggy ..

Yeah but W760 is not 3g phone as I know.  If he uses 3g it won't be good for him.

If you're worried about style, then you're worrying too much. You're not gonna impress someone with a cellphone. |

@Pop Lover- I have a W890 and I agree with everything you pointed out except the last statement- my W890 is not laggy at all. No signal problems with it either. Overall, I got my money's worth and no complaints from me. The W760 is not THAT well built and I think it's very ugly. It is slightly better than the W580 but nowhere near the W850's build quality. For me, the W890 is better than the W760 for build quality, slim form factor. Cons- small keys and that's it. Performance wise they're likely to be the same. Include Pop Lover's points then you have a decision to make.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Sorry to post twice in a row.
The one bad point in my situation is that they could not offer me the w890i in black (which i really wanted). I had to settle for silver.
Who wants to swap?  |

Did you see the Black one in real? It does not look good and it doesn't have the metallic & classic look the silver one has. You'll start loving it in a few days time:) |

No.. you're right - I haven't seen the black one in person. I have seen the silver one... and just *loved* the metallic look. I guess it has worked out best if the black one doesn't have such a good finished look.
Thanks for the confidence |

Well that was the same case with me. Had seen some black P1 housings on the net... But actually when I saw one in live, I don't like that much. Silver is better.

I’ve seen the black version in flesh and its looks great. IMO better than others colors but silver one is also good. |
