Sorry for the sudden influx of questions but i was wondering how does this OS fare against A200 of SE. I was looking to get a i450 but its unavailable leaving 5610 as another choice. How is its interface? Is it good looking and easy to use? |

It's very good looking, and very easy to use.
With Nokia's theme creator too on your PC, you can make themes just like you can for SE A200 etc.
I think actually some of them you can even customise the menu icons. My old 6280 had a jungle theme that changed things like the contacts to an animated elephant etc, all very cool.

I think you should avoid s40 and get s60. I have used my friends 5610, and i did not like it. Its just my personal opinion, and, if comparing s40 and A2, i think A2 wins. |

Better invest with S60. S40 has far more limitation than even A100 (limited .jar size, no multitasking, slow Java3D performance) even the latest S40 retains all the weakpoints of it's predecessor only incorporating the eye candy animated UI which doesn't look as good as A200's.

What both the previous posters have forgotten is it all depends on what youre going to use the phone for. If you dont need it for the features that S60 offers then S40 is fine

I have a S40 and S60 phone(s)
both are totally different which I like about them both,
the S40 phone is a nice bit of kit easy to use and has some intresting features.
you should try before you decide

I think s60 is easier to use! s40's file manager is one of the weakest, there are several other things that put me off of s40. Maybe cuz m used to s60 from yrs?
But anyways, considering Qvga's current phone(w950i, which is a symbian,and uses its powers), i think he would want another symbian(if he's the one going to use it). |

Hmm... The 5610 seems like its got almost the exact same specs as the C702. So if A2 is preferred over S40, perhaps the C702 might be a better option? I don't know but it may be cheaper too?

QVGA what other options do you have? What's your budget? Id realy suggest waiting for the 5320XM S60 Smartphone, or if you can get a 5700XM its still a great Music Smartphone, has FP1 AND the 369mhz CPU, or look at the 6110-Navigator as well as the 6120c, ALL those should be very affordable, and all run S60 FP1.

My other options are 5700, i450, U700, K660. Of these i'm wondering between i450 and 5700. Sure the 5700 is kinda gay looking but its surely better than the 6120 IMO. 6120 is way too simplistic for me

Go for the i450. It does'nt look all that great, but the music is just amazing with the added advantage of S60. I have'nt used a non-smart phone in ages, find them lacking.
Maybe you could also consider the HTC Touch, decent phone for the price. And trust me WM is'nt as bad as people make it out to be(I used a TyTn II las tyear and now on an E71), still prefer WM to S60 in quite a few aspects. Lots more software and moddability, keeps the interest going in the phone.

S40 is a cheap layout prob best for the younger person in you,
but the S60 is for the more mature in you
QVGA get both like me,
ive the N95-8GB and a 5300 I use both,
the 5300 has nice animations and screensavers which you can use on the main screen, what I hate about it is the text messaging issue of clearing a text message
