se w810i vs n e65 :P

I want bits of both... the w810i's camera (flash and autofocus) on the e65 could be perfect. I really like the thought of e65 being a nice smallish phone with WiFi and VOIP (other data solutions would do the job if I didn't have to pay for them, but there is WiFi all over my campus where I spend all day). There are lots of cool symbian apps, and I haven't even really looked for any yet(gnutella client? download a random song you have an urge for! awesome). But maybe WiFi wouldn't be so cool (web browsing on a small screen can't be great, VOIP voice quality could be disappointing, etc)

Is there any small phone with WiFi and a decent (w810i level) camera?
(Yes the e65's camera is 2mp, but compare this and this !)

i'd get w810 unless you really think ur gonan need the wifi...i used to have n80 and eventho our campus had wifi everywhere too i found i never used it =)

I find i use the wifi to download apps and photos from online blog sites. Data charges are murderous! That's about it.

get the w810i it rules... as for wifi, use that with a laptop, not a phone.

Good advice all around guys! Thanks!

One thing though... Skype offers an unlimited calling in North America package for 25$ a year. I could pretty much talk for free anywhere I go....

edit:

I really don't follow the phone market at all. When would you guys expect Nokia to come out with a successor to the e65? A year? A couple years?

VOIP on a cell phone isn't quite there yet due to the lower speeds, limited bandwidth and latency issues. Data takes a backseat to voice at the towers so don't expect SKYPE to be that good using a cell. I don't think the cell community has really implemented their devices to allow you to use SKYPE or similar apps via data connections either.

That makes sense, but with WiFi phones bandwidth should not be a problem (assuming calls are done over WiFi and not 3g or whatever). e65 seems to support VOIP (SIP) natively so I thought it would handle well. I think I should do some tests to see how good even a computer calling a cell phone using skype sounds.
