6260, if u like functions not usability..., otherwise, if limited to that 3 choices, logically, its Nokia 6230. Cuz MMC is cheaper than memory stick, got radio, mp3, and why would u want such a powerful camera on a phone when u can get a real digicam??

Give Sendo-X a try!
This phone is my next!
It is serie60, you can open nearly every document (exel, word, pdf, mp3 and many many more) without installing 3rd party software, it has a faster processor (120Mhz) and better sound.
you have 64MB of memory on the phone itself (32MB are usable for the user)
you can hotswap MMC AND SD-cards (you don't need to turn the phone off to insert them) it has a flashlight for the cam and many more stuff!

Oh dear. What a pitiful selection of phones. Both of the se phones are shite. They don't support either s40 games or s60 games fully so it's left in a java wilderness where hardly any games work. Also the camera is awful. It takes pictures in 640x320 res but the quality is terrible leading me to beleive the cam is only capable of taking s40 sized pics then streching them like photo acute does on the s60.
The 6260 is ugly, full of bugs, badly designed and quite expensive.
The Sendo X is a Sendo! That should be reason enough not to get one. If you need another reason the fact that it was meant to be a rival to the 6600 means its way, way out of date (os 6.1, 0.3mp cam).
The 3230 probably won't be released for months and the 6630 is very expensive so if I were you I'd go for the 7610.

The k700i and k500i support java and mophun. Strangely a 3660-owner i know, told me that java Tetris for S60 works on his dad's k500i. I'm not sure what games s700i support. Probably java, mophun and some kind of 3d games i heard about.
Sadly, i have also heard a lot of bad things about the 6260. But i saw a new s60-phone recently, that looked very much like 6260. I think it was made by Samsung or Siemens but I'm not sure. It seemed to have almost the exact same specs as 6260, and twistable screen. Maybe that phone is a better choice?
Perhaps this is the phone i saw, but I'm not sure:

A mate tried to install s60 java games on a k700i, out of 10, 7 didn't work at all and 3 worked but with graphical flaws and no sound.

Ok, he only said it worked, not how good. But I've tried to install S60-games on my dad's z600. Not a single one worked. That's why I was surprised when he told me Tetris worked on k500i.

I think it's because with every phone se gets closer and closer to nokias way of thinking. Se has alway kinda tried to go it alone and not just folow nokia like some makers. Anyone that has used the k700i has to admit it works more like a nokia than any previous se phone

Ok, I haven't tried it. But it's a good thing if SE learn from Nokia when they make their interface. I have tried z600, and it's painful to use compared to a Nokia phone.
At least compared to my 3650 the interface felt much inferior. But perhaps it's unfair to compare an ordinary phone to a smartphone. I haven't used ordinary Nokia phones for many years.

They are much the same as they always were only it's little pics instead of text and a few more options in most of the menus. Se have even given up on their own text input method, it's now the same buttons for (.) and ( ) as it is on a Nokia. I think it's an improvement but it's a bit lame when you have to copy to improve.

Damn! The selection of the 3 cellphones is very crappy 2 say the least. I wouldn't pick or vote 4 any of them. :(

Depends on a few things.
If you want a high quality camera, that narrows it down to S700i, 6630, and 3230. Of those, 6630 has the best overall functionality but is 600 dollars/euros. S700i is less pda-oriented since it doesn't run off symbian, and it runs for about 600 dollars as well. 3230 comes out in January. It has all the functionality of the 6630 but is as small as the 7610 and is designed for someone who doesn't wear a suit and wield an 8 digit bank account. It will cost 350 dollars and will be release first quarter 2005. 7610 has a slightly lower quality camera than the above mentioned phones but is a similar size to the 3230. It'll set you back about 450 dollars.
If you DON'T need a high quality camera, the 3650 will run about 200-250 dollars now and is a great lil phone if it's ur first smartphone. k700 i don't know much about, but supposedly it's good for games and not much else. The 6600 is slightly more expensive than 3650 with barely upgraded features. However 3650's a lil big and 6600's still no matchbox.
I have a 3650 now and I love it; i really don't care about the size. I can watch movies, take pics, play damn good games, and find a program for just about anything.
I would not get a 6600. It's too similar to a 3650.
Only get 7610 if you want a phone now and you want it to be small but nice.
I would NOT get 6630. I would wait for 3230. Same phone but smaller and less expensive.
I would only get s700 if you want a high quality camera; that's what it's known for.
I would not get k700. I would get a 7610 long before I got a k700.
My opinion: 3650, 7610, or wait for 3230, depending on your wants and needs.
P.S. only S700 (maybe k700), 6630, and 3230 have good quality mp3 players.
