I was all hyped, obsessed with the 8100. Now, I'm not sure. I don't have either, but

better reception,
longer battery life
MP3 player that works
PC connectivity
costs less

You have to return it 5-7 times to get one that works - has all it's pixels
you can't hear the speakerphone
It might echo
feels like a toy

better quality out of the box
better camera (although 1.3M isn't the end all)
a decent vibration mode
a better "feel"

the battery life is limited
the blue tooth is problematic - difficult to use

Have I got it all now? W...

I'm curious... where did you see me say one was better than the other? I said they both have significant problems. I was hoping the 8100 would have better functionality - actually, I was hoping both would have greater functionality.
