I’m struggling with the buyer’s dilemma again. As much as I’d hoped my current phone would last for the two years it took for my contract to expire, it’s dying. I won’t begin to expound on the various ways that it’s crashed (or just failed to connect to the network), but it’s high time for a replacement.

This time, though, I’m getting a phone unlocked from Amazon. I’m willing to pay the extra money if it means I can walk to T-Mobile on a moment’s notice (and that none of the features are disabled).

So now it’s down to a few of them:

• Nokia E70, with a flip-up keyboard
• HTC S710, with a slide-over keyboard
• Nokia E65, with a nicer form factor
• Nokia N80, with tons of gadgetry

Along my search for reviews and feedback, I found a neat site: Sizeasy. The idea is that you upload dimensions of things you want to compare, and it gives you a chart. Here’s my comparison of my current phone, HTC 2125, versus the E70, E65, N80, and S710.

I’m ordering through Amazon Prime, so I can get it by Friday. Any recommendations? Anyone out there own any of these phones already?
