[ Nokia E71 ] vs [ Nokia 5800 XpressMusic ]

[jobie023]

Stuck between 2 phones:

Nokia E71 vs Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

What I will be using the phone for:
-Mostly talking
-Light texting (250 a month)
-Lots of wifi (I only usually go on MSN Live messenger)
-Need something durable and easy to transport

-I have unlimited access to wifi from Home and also at University
-I have an Ipod already for music
-Something to schedule my homework / tests / appointments etc.
-Long battery life
-Long cellphone life


So if anyone can help me choose between these 2 phones it would be great! If you can, label the pros and cons! Here are some of mine:

Nokia E71
Pros:
-Slim
-Durable
-Very good scheduler
-GPS
-Wifi + MSN Live messenger applications available

Cons:
-Nothing much to the phone beside its basic functions
-Smaller earphone jack


Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
Pros:
-Large screen thats very nice
-Looks good for browsing the internet etc.
-Looks like it has a lot of application add ons?
-Better camera
-Good for Music

Cons:
-Large and Bulky
-Seems like using the applications / internet will drain the phone
-Seems more fragile to me since the whole screen is touch.

By the way:
Nokia E71 -> Around $250-$275
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic -> Around $275-$300


Thanks in Advance! :buddies:

Its a very tough decision. I got bored with my e71 and went to a 5800 and love it. But the e71 was such a solid metal work of art. It truly was. And it had qwerty which i don't really like, i like t9 better. E71 biggest advantage is it has tremendous battery life, the best battery of any mobile on the market. But 5800 has a great high res screen for web browsing. So tough call.
