Current have k800i SE phone.
Im getting a bit sick of it since its so chunky and the camera enclosure keeps opening in my pocket. But i love the battery life its great.

But i need a change and i was thinking of a phone with a bit of a quirk, i like sliders and clam shells but i have the moto v8 but that is for a different number.

I had a nokia 6111 but it was awful so glitchy.

Now i am looking at the samsung g600 and im attract to the 6500 slide and classic.

I would prefer a slider and something that wasn't too chunky, had decent battery life. I dont need anything with huge space as i have an ipod etc.

I dont know which of these, if any to go for.

My budget is about 150 pounds.

Thanks.

Seriously, great battery life, great reception, it is likethe K800i with a smaller megapixel camera. Oh, and they are both slim sliders.

How is it at all like the k800i, aside from the fact that they're both SE?

6500 Slide is nice, great battery life, great camera. Classic is nice and slim. I'm not a huge fan of the G600 aside from the slim factor. Doesn't feel as sturdy as a Nokia or a SE, IMHO.

They are very similar. The major difference being the camera. There are minor differences, like the internal memory, candybar vs slider, but that stuff aside, they are identical.

I have the W580i and I HATE IT. It has so many issues. I actually just ordered the 6500 slide but have yet to recieve it.

Thanks guys. I did get an nice feel from the 6500 slide, it feels very durable.
I did more research into the g600 and apart from looks, it is very (for lack of a better word) crap.
Not too keen on the SE slides, think i need a change from the GUI interface.
Think i'll wait for a slight price drop on the 6500 slide then i'll get that.

Thanks again.

I'm going to have to agree with you. The 6500 slide turns me on BIG TIME. You may also want to look at the 5610. I was recently in Israel, and my cousin just got that phone over there. I messed around with it for a few hours. REALLY impressive. The build quality was great, the camera was outstanding, and the display was very impressive. Check it out. Very nice phone overall.

quite the contrary from what i've used of it. it's owe of the most solid and durable phones out there. its good value for money, plus its of good quality with lots of functionality.
i think you'll find that the g600 will last you significantly longer and be trouble free longer than the 6500, and definitely any SE.

Got the 6500 slide in the mail. Pic comparision to the W580i is in the lounge under post your most recent toy.
