At my work we get new phones from the manufactors to show our customers. For the last months we had the Samsung D600E (thank God I get rid off it now!), and now we are offered the Nokia 6280 or the Nokia N70.
All common sense tells me to pick the 6280, but the I-want-as-much-as-I-can-get inside of me tells me the N70.
So now I turn to you, not that I will let you decide for me, but perhaps someone tells me that magical feature that will make me chose one or the other.
And yes, I know, i should have gotten an SE and I sure wanted to, but it was not SE on the menu this time. Last SE we got was the K600 we had before the Sa D600E.
I will just have to play with the W810i I hopefully won for my girlfriend, to keep my SE-urge calm. This I will know later this week...
The poll is open, hit me with arguments for 6280 and N70!

n70 is symbian, waybetter and more features then 6280, the last one is for me a kind of 6230i 3g upgrade.

Erm...6280 has PTT too.
This might be of some help, re comparing specs on these 2 phones:

n70 because it's a smartphone, i had to make a similar decision betwen 6230 and 6620, the first one was smaller, but i'll never regret choosing the 6620 because of the great things you can do with it(s60 aplications) |

imo thge only advantage of 6280 is the high res screen, it beautiful and big enough to enjoy the pix made of it.

I was disappointed with the N70's - 2 MP cam  I haven't tried the other model though  The D600 sure is a GOOD fone ! |

Thanks for all the replys!
I see you all are thinking pretty similiar to me. The big advantage is the S60 on the N70, but since I have the Qtek 9100 as my other phone Iīm not in big need of another phone with that kind of abilitys.
After some thoughts i picked the 6280, mostly based on the design and the fact that I need a phone more than a smartphone in this unit.

Go for the N70, as i have used the 6280 and it was rubbish and i gave it back within 24hours. |

i found the n70 keypad horrible, its so tiny. the 6680 solution is far better imo

The (lack of) build quality makes the 6280 a non-contender to me. One of the rare cases where the dummy felt better built than the real thing 
On the two specimens i have played with, the slide had noticeable play out of the box and on one of them the halves didnīt quite line up when closed (it was like it was going a bit too far if you get what i mean)
That said i am no big fan of N70 either.. slower than the 6680 and much worse ergonomics, i mean who designed that keypad? A 12 year old girl??
Also (now this was late -05 to early -06 the ones i picked up and played with ranged from frustrating slow to part non working! The slide didnīt start the camera app even after waiting the mandatory minute and a half 
Still, being forced to choose one of them iīd have to say N70. I am allergic to shabby build quality.
