SLVR L7 or Sony Ericsson W810i?

I want primarialy a mp3 phone and can't decide between the slvr and the w810. Appearance wise, i really like the slvr but then the W810 has a 2mp camera. I'm currently residing in Canada where a 3 year conrtact for the ericsson is only $50 more than the one offered with the SLVR. Is a 2mp camera really worth $50? & can anyone with past experience with either phones, recommend the better choice?

Good comparison...both are good phones that if I wanted to, I'd get both. The SLVR is is slim and looks gorgeous. However, it does have the 100 song limit. But I'd push for the W810i because it has built-in radio and a flashlight. And since I have a Vaio, it's easier just to plug in the memory card instead of carrying a card reader most of the time. Also, I have seen other W810i owners change the housing with that of the W800 & K750i. In any case, you'd be getting a great phone.

But yeah, like Ace said, you'll probably get more responses that are not biased towards Moto's.

Aren't there 512 mb cards available that are compatible with the phone?

I think that they are both cool phones but I personally would go with the 810i.

Thanks for the help guys, after countless hours of contemplating which phone to get, i've stuck with motorola. I'm pretty sure of this decision and hopefully i don't regret this decision (which i'm sure i won't). I compared the two phones many times & despite the 2mp camera on the ericsson, i realise that i won't be using it as often as the mp3 and i can get the same feature with the slvr + the appearance/thinness + better price + better reception (i think). Once again, thanks for the feedback.
