I just wanted to get some help and feedback from all you knowledgeable phone users from around the world. Here's my current situation:

I currently own the Sony W610i walkman phone. I have little complaints with it besides the small number keys and the OS could be stronger, ie true smartphone. It does have a very decent 2MP autofocus camera with flash and great walkman player with A2DP profile. However I just came across the Nokia 6120 classic and just fell in love with it, ordered it and it should arrive in 2 days. What attracted me to the Nokia 6120c was the elegant, stylish, and slim design, (almost a replica of my current Sony W610i in dimensions), S60 OS(so true smartphone) , and some other stuff.

Anyways, the main features I need on a mobile phone right now are good battery life on light-moderate daily usage, decent camera, good audio/video player(especially MP3s) , good internet browser with decent speed, good organizing programs/features, stable A2DP profile, good call quality, reception, and earpiece, overall speed of OS, and ability to add new applications, games, and other customization through 1st and 3rd parties.

Although my current Sony W610i can fullfill most or all of this, I just feel like switching to Nokia and trying something new , especially after reading all the positive reviews about the 6120c and never having a true PDA/smartphone. I've heard alot of good stuff about S60 Nokia phones and here's my chance to try it out I guess. So what do all of you feel about this? Should I sell my Sony W610i or sell the Nokia 6120c? Its been such a long time since I've used Nokia, probably 10 years ago. How good/versatile is the S60 platform when compared to WM and Palm? I've always wanted a true PDA smartphone with the phone features coming first and having read so many positive reviews about the S60 devices and then seeing how affordable the 6120c was, I couldn't resist.

So in short, is the 6120c that much more versatile and powerful than the Sony W610i since its based on S60 platform or is the S60 too much for me right now? I know you can add Java based apps/games on the Sony but its not true smartphone/PDA apps. What about the overall screen quality, camera ,music/media player, internet browser, and A2DP quality between the two? I know Opera Mini exists but I've heard the browser on the new Nokia S60 phones are some of the most advanced browsers on a mobile device right now and based on Iphone Safari technology. Is this true and whats so special about it? Can someone who's had experience with both share their thoughts on these issues for me? Thanks so much.
