Nokia E90 vs Sony Ericsson W960 Cell Phone

I need to replace my cheap made-in-China cell phone (which is now officially broken) with either Nokia E90 or Sony Ericsson W960. The problem is, I can’t choose which one as both have almost similar specs. Such as 3.2MP camera, WiFI, 3G, 128MB RAM, 8GB storage, Bluetooth w/ A2DP, USB, video call, FM radio, Java MIDP 2.0, and WAP browser.
However, with around $200 higher price, Nokia E90 has several advantages over W960. They are: built-in GPS receiver, a 4-inch widescreen display (W960 has 2.6-inch display), HSDPA, EDGE, microSD memory card slot, Infrared, QWERTY keyboard and Symbian OS v9.2 (W960 runs v9.1). Is that much amount of money worth the difference?
Still unsure.
To make things more complicated, Sony Ericsson W960 has a few good things to consider. Touch screen interface with handwriting recognition, RSS reader, and longer battery life (which definitely beat E90’s silly 5 hours battery life). And once again, its price is way cheaper than E90.
I’m a big fans of Sony Ericsson (a happy owner of K800 and K850 FYI), but this time I’m really not sure whether I should buy W960 or turn my back over it.
Any suggestion?
iv tested both phones and they are both good. the problem with th w960 is its lack of a mem card slot and infrared…but then again who realy needs those two. it has 8gb! and who needs infrared anyway the phone comes with the USB cable as standard.
the nokia has lovely features but has the thing that puts me off nokias. they are slow. it may have symbian v9.2 bt it doesn’t handle it as well as it ought to.
my verdict is th ericsson. its what i use now and no regrets thus far.
thanks for the suggestion, ruto
[…] to replace it. I already kept my eye on Omnia ever since it hit the shelves (I considered both Nokia E90 and Sony Ericsson W960 before that, but Omnia seems to win the war), but unfortunately I have to use the money to keep my […]
