sp3i vs. sp5m - $150 vs. $480 - any opinions

[mountain]

I love the SP5m, but the SP3i is for sale at Expansys for only $150. That is a BIG difference. I don't really care about the wi-fi. I would miss the stereo bluetooth, but what I really care about is how it works as a phone/call reception. Any thoughts from users of the two phones?

not really a mountain of difference but sp5m has 1.3mp cam, qvga screen, wifi, bigger ram, bluetooth 1.2, more nifty softkeys, plays 40 polyphonic tones (no one really bothers with these too much these days...) and so on...

not a lot of difference. let me put it this way - an sp5m is identical to sp3i - but a couple of notches better ^_^ anyway, see for yourself ^_^:
