The time for my old Siemens M35i to retire to silicone heaven is nigh, however faithful and downright indestructible it has proven itself to be these last three and a half years. Now that I have to choose its successor, I'm torn between the gadget-craving wanking-over-particularly-impressive-technical-specification-sheets techno-geek and the gun-toting run-through-the-woods-buck-naked-killing-polar-bears-with-my-bare-teeth outdoorsman in me over these two alternatives, respectively: the Siemens S65 and the M65.
The S65 has more memory, much better camera, Bluetooth and IM capabilities and all-round better computing hardware than the M65, but the latter is shock- and water resistant like my old M35i. I'm really having a hard time desiding here, so if any of you own either of these phones and know of any ups or downs I should take into account then please drop a line or two here. At €400 and €338, respectively, this is a somewhat sunstantial investment so I'd like to get most of the facts straight before making the final desition.

I wouldn't go for a flip/slide/swing/dingledongle toy phone. They usually have crap battery life and the flip/slide/swing/dingledongle mechanism will someday wear down and break. And as for the smart phones with MS software on it... Combine chinese or taiwanese ODM phone with MS made software and slap on a Motorola tag = Certain disaster
