Nokia 7710 Vs. Motorola e680

[n_khoury88]

Hey guys, i am in a dillhema! I currently have a motorola e680 which is AWESOME. I have been offered a straight trade for a nokia 7710. Could you please give me your advice as to whether or not to take the deal?

And with reasons

Thanx so much in advance

For me.. I'll stay with Moto E680.
mainly due to the phone size and screen orientation..
One of the reason why users are replacing E680 is due to the short battery life.. unless this Nokia phone's batter can last for days..

* Weight:189 g
* Dimensions:142.5 cc, 128 x 69.5 x 19 mm

A brick without linux (==without multitasking)? Naah, what the hell u're thinking of switching?

True, it is larger yes. But megapixle camera, HUGE screen. Much better battery. I mainly want it for multimedia, so which one ????

HELP ME

you are asking in a motorola fans forum which you should take? 8O

Larger AND heavier. 189 grams and if Nokia didn't changed behavier it's heavier than that.

Throw your megapixel phone! The lenses in the camera are so small that u won't get much better pics, because of the "optic", not the sensor. And as more pixels the sensor delivers, as more noisy the pics are. Cameras in phones are only for quick and dirty pics. If u'll take a real picture, take a good digicam with NOT too much mp BUT good optic!

Huge screen, yes. My pockets don't like huge screens. I like huge resolution but without a huge screen which my pockets don't like.

The batt has more mAh, but if it lasts longer, you will see! My Nokia 6230 lasts not much longer than my E680i. And the display was definitely NOT huge. Endurance is always a summary of source AND drain. And if u like mm apps, then it would be lighter and smaller to carry some batts with you for the E680i than for the Nokia. I don't guess it will last much longer when playing videos clips.

The most drawbacks for me would be there is no linux and you have no more access to the system and u have no multitasking. U have to close other apps to open new ones. That sucks really! And usability of Nokia might be better than my Siemens phones but aren't as good as my E680i.

Then there is the question of cost. My last phones didn't cost more than 1 Euro. And I wouldn't pay much more for it. My E680i costs me much more but I feel it's better for the money. I used some Nokia phones and they were all a little bit premature.

Anyway, coming to conclusion. Both phones have pros and cons but both phones aren't the last in the line of evolution. So, if you believe to live some more years I'd wait if a (linux) phone is out which has much more pros than cons. If u're really hot to buy this new phone - buy it!

e680 = 312Mhz cpu
7710 = around 200Mhz cpu

e680 = videos in max. 320x240 with 15 FPS
7710 = videos in max. 176x136 with 15 FPS (no real 320x 240)

e680 cam records max. 320x240(if tuned up)
7710 cam redords max. 176x136

e680 radiostions mem can have up to 9999 stations.
7710 does it have a radio?(i dont know).

e680's size just right(not too big not too smal).
7710's screen is a real plus with 600x320res but case size is bigger than e680.

may hold the e680 and test the 7710 really good out and compare it with the e680 before you maybe buy it.

Very nice yes i know. I have the e680 and have been offered a trade guys. The 7710 in australia is worth double the e680! Does somebody in australia, sydney preferably have a e680/i for sale??
