6682 vs 5600 (current SideKick owner)

Hello all,

My contract is going to run out at the end of November and I'm thinking about upgrading my call quality without losing my ability to browse the internet.

These two phones appear to be my least expensive options so I'm hoping that someone here has used both or even all three phones so that they can give me their opinion as to which one is best.

I played around with the 6682 and the 5600 the other day. I found that they both loaded www.niketalk.com at about the same speed (5600 was a little faster). It seemed like the 5600 changed view faster and scrolled better (the image didn't blur). The 5600 also has three view options to the 6682's two (using Opera).

That's all I've got to go on for making my decision.

How about the difference in memory (64MB on the SMT 5600 to 8MB on the 6682)?

The HTC 2125 is going to come out soon and it'll have the same feature set as the 6682 (1MP camera, EDGE, improved resolution) so I'm wondering if the memory should be a significant factor in my decision making process.

I mentioned the memory not because I was worried about space rather, my ability to have more than one application open at a time and the speed of the looking through the menu(s).

Is that even the way the built in memory works?

See, I thought of the built in memory as the RAM+HD in one and the expandable memory as an external HD.


What spurred my question is someone's complaint about having to shut down applications when using more than one.

I enjoy being albe to do everything at once with my Sidekick (IM, e-mail, & web).

One of the specific features of the 6682 is the ability to toggle between apps. I use the email client, yahoo IM, and the radio pratically all day at work and never really have to shut down anything. So your memory concerns are null. I would recommend though using the memory card as much as possible to allow for greater experience in moving from app to app.

I'm glad you got the chance to try out both phones. For what it sounds like you will be using the phone for, I'd have to say go for the 6682. My wife uses the 5600 and loves it. The smaller key pad fits her hands better, so it is easier for her to navigate. At the same time, she has difficulties loading web pages or links that require a VPN client, or secure web sit. Camera quality is better, but most of all, even she admits the 6682 has greater call clarity than her 5600.
