Could someone help me with this please.
Features seem to be very similar between the two phones.
The Siemens doesn't have FM or Edge, which is alright for me.
But it does have a higher res camera.

No, unfortunately not.

For the OP, the comparison between these two phones is unfair. Obviously, the 6230 is the winner here, but these two phones are not very comparable.

The S66 is more for the serious business type. The logic is that you should already have an iPod or something like that to be listening to music.

Paul34, why would you consider the 6230 the winner?
Just because of the missing mp3/radio or are there other factors you are considering?? thanks!!

I too looked the the Nokia 6230 and thought it was a great phone for all it had. But its screen and look/feel didn't impress me.
I agree about the fact that I have an iPod and I really don't have to have MP3's on my phone was why the 6230's MP3/FM wasn't that big of a deal. I did want the mega pixel camera on the S65/66. I thought that was more important.
I also looked at the Sony K700i, and if it had had expandable memory, I would have bought it.
But I ended up buying a S65, and should have it in hand next week.
Will give you a report.

Yea, that's why. But other than those extra features, the only shortcoming of the S66 is the quality of its screen, IMO. Yet the S66 does win against the 6230 in terms of screen size. The s66 has a decent screen size, however, the 6230 has a display which is far too small, again IMO.

i guess the best thing to do is to wait till it's in the cingular stores around here (SoCal) and test them both out side-by-side.
Any info on when that's gonna be??
