[Psychosocial]

Which one should I get... budget <15k.. Needs :-

1) Big touchscreen

OR

2) QWERTY

OR

3) Both (which aint possible in the price range ).

with my experience,
For a more mature phone and with virtually no problems, pick the E71.
For a great music and multimedia phone, pick the 5800XM .

1) E71 if you want business class services and not much multimedia.
2) 5800Xm if you want an allrounder but are okay with not having physical buttons
3) Curve 8520 if you want to subscribe to blackberry email service and your office mail servers support that.

actually, E71's battery life is lot lot better. 5800XM's high resolution 3.2" display can suck the battery out inside 1 day if used extensively for browsing and texing.

Try turning off the touch vibrations, setting the Network mode to only GSM instead of Dual Mode and lowering the screen brightness. My Nokia 5800 easily lasts for 4 days even after heavy use.

Whether to get a touchscreen phone like 5800 or a QWERTY like E71 or Blackberry is entirely upto your personal choice. Don't depend on anyone to help u make this choice. Try both the phone formats personally before u take a decision.

Once u decide upon the kind of phone is suitable for you then you may ask which touchscreen is best or which qwerty is best.
