Alright, I've been debating on whether or not to get which phone for a while. I've done a lot of research but the following questions are still unanswered on my end:
Which phone is more durable? (least likely/harder to break)
and
How hard is music control on the T650? Do I have to unlock the keyboard to skip tracks? Are there side controls? Do I have to access the menu to access the music player?
Thanks. |

If I were you, I'd go for T650 for sure. Better display, louder speaker, much better camera.
However I don't know which one is more durable. But controlling music in T650 is not that hard. It's impractical to access the playlist though. From "now playing" page, you have to press Back then scroll again to access playlist. In Walkman/newer Media, you can just press up/down from "now playing" and directly go to the playlist. I feel that, it's the most impractical thing in old media player, such in T650.
But you can skip tracks without unlocking keyboards. Just simply hold the volume up/down button about 1 second to go to prev/next track. It still can be done when the keys are locked. About skipping tracks, T650 and W880 have exactly the same manner.
T650 doesn't have dedicated music button, but you can assign a shortcut in the Directional pad so you can easily access (in one press) the music player right from the standby screen.
Really worthy.

Hmm T650 is great average phone. If you don't need some extra connectivity options and you want your phone for normal daily usage like: calls, texting, some music or games and browsing the internet a little you should go for it. Great phone indeed.

Yeah, most likely I will be getting the T650
It retails for around $250, correct? |

On the T650 the music player is accessed by pressing up on the D pad or you can go into the menu and select it from there.
Took me a little while to adjust back to the A100 platform music player after having and getting annoyed with every A200 platfrom phone that has been released (Yes I've owned and sold them all) but its fine.
The only gripe on the T650's media player is that you cannot queue music. Just got around it by making playlists up though.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |

Well T650 is not walkman. It lacks some playlist sorting options compared to the Walkman W880.
