I have the same problem! It seems we've done the same benchmarking. I'm also considering Nokia 3200. In my opinion, T610 is much more appealing, though E365 is cheaper. E365 have neither IrDA nor Bluetooth. Is that a mayor drawback? Thanks.

e365 has a better screen (according to reviews) but the crappy stand-by time is a drawback. Both phones suffer from slow menus.

I've just phoned to my operator (TMN in Portugal), and I noticed something that seems to be very stupid for Motorola (I cannot understand this!): Here, E365 costs ?209,90 and T610 costs ?249,90. However, if you want to connect yout E365 to a PC, you must buy a ?99.00 (!!!!) serial cable! In conclusion, E365 is far more expensive than T610 (The prior has IrDA and Bluetooth; if you have a recent PC, as I do, you may have this technology available).

?99?!!!:confused:

That must be their shit-price. It must be cheaper from e-bay or somewhere else.

I just bought Motorola E365, since my operator wouldn't guarantee me the availability of T610 until February. Another choice may be the Philips 530+camera or the 535.

Dolemn: Thanks for your advice! I just bought the USB Data cable+CD in ebay for 17.5 US dollars (about ?15).

What is the screen like?
Is it big?

Nice choice Diogo, another option is you don't have to really buy the original data cable, my E365 come without the data cable but I bought a third party cable for less than US$10, and with the handset manager software I got from my friend, it works perfectly well and I am enjoying download midi and graphic to my phone and uploading picture to my PC after I have taken shots from my phone camera.
1337k, as told by the reviewer, the screen is big and better than T610 under the sun as you can still see clearly under the bright sun.
