Which is better? Nokia 3595 or Motorola T720?

Thanks very much for all your inputs. I think I will be going with the
Nokia. The Motorola is $25.00 more expensive, but does have a 2 year
warranty as opposed to the 1 year with the Nokia so maybe not.... I think
as I get older it gets harder to make a decision.

Well I've been using Nokias for several years now without a single problem.
If you get the 3595, buy a nice pouch/carrier to protect it in case it is
dropped. I bought a "Body Glove" carrier with belt clip that is really nice
and fits it perfect. But unless you drop it or run it over or something,
the Nokia should far outlast it's warranty. -Dave

There are cheap accersories all over ebay for the T720! From cases to usb
wires to handsfree kits.
Lol they even have a cd with over 8000 collected images, games and ringtones
on disc for the T720, which I bought and am pleased with, as there are
actually about 13,000!

I sell both phones evry day...the 720's color display is MUCH better
IMHO than the nokia, the nokia is dark amd the contrast is not as
gfood as other manufactures, who cares about the cost of a $2 car
charger...compared to a phone that easy to read... just my 2 cents
