I owned K810i for a month till I passed it on to my wifey. I owned the K850i for a week till I got disgusted and sold it off.
I had 3 days playing with my son's new N82 (he CARELESSLY lost his phone earlier).
My earlier comments are based upon personal experience with these 3 phones. What am I using now?.. my obsolete, spare and worthless BUT USABLE 3315.

4.50pm: I bit the bullet after thinking, thinking!. N82 COD at 9pm tonight!.
I need to have my music whilst on the move lah!. I didn't buy a nice Philips SHE9700 earphones for nothing!.

Anyway... my main thing of getting this phone is to able to blog from my phone (because my house only got 1 computer). The rest of the features would be a advantage. The current phone i'm using now is Nokia 6100, the first generation colour phone with 4 channel polyphonic ringtones (How proud was that 6 years ago... hehehe).

Will SE X1 be that cheap? i don't think so... i think the starting price will begin at least from 2.5k.

Oh? so how does the GPS function work in your TyTNII? btw, is the web browsing better in Windows Mobile based phone (i mean in your TyTN II)?

3. Black one may not be easily available.
4. The build quality is not as good as K850i.
5. Hate browser navigation on the internet.
6. SE doesn't have one like N82. I'm so wanting a SE this time.
Lazy to list out a few more quibbles.
Entirely MY PERSONAL VIEW.
Sorry for not mentioning anything about PDA phones..I'm not into it.
Conclusion: I'm not buying either right now. I can't have the K850 and N82 all in one for good money.
Joystick very easily gone case one lah... didn't you heard enough from SE K750i? I mean basically i don't prefer joystick... not my type.

Yup, I hated the joystick so much on my K750, now the phone is practically unusable.

I don't know about web browsing on N82, but on TyTN II, it was quite bad until I found a fix to it. The scrolling was very slow and unresponsive. But I managed to find a fix. Using Opera, it's quite cool, but there's limitation, and Opera works on Symbian too I think.

Other than the need to switch direction quick (a must for gaming), I don't see the need for joystick personally. Tennis, the virtual plane game, works very well with the joystick. Other than that, buttons are far more precise and reliable.

That's me.

Chai, how's the GPS function in your *bling bling*?

Oh ya... my current status is more like 70:30 already. 70 for N82 while 30 for Touch. I'm not sure but i have this thought before that maybe windows mobile would be more powerful than now in 2 years time. I mean i don't know lah... but just for the time being, in such a limited amount of time and money, i would most probably pick N82 against Touch. My decision is not finalize yet. Still need to wait my salary for the month of May to come in. ^_^

The GPS on TyTN II is very usable. It uses Mapking for Asia region. It has guided me to many places in MY and SG. I drove into SG for the first time early this year, and I rely 100% on the GPS! I was as lost as walking in the jungle without compass! I got lost a few times, but all due to user problem.
