6600 actually better than 3650?

OK, after almost a week of battling with O2, they are still telling me they have no 3650 to replace mine which broke. I have been toying with the idea of asking for a 6600 replacement, but there have been a couple of things putting me off. Are there any disadvantages of the 6600? Here are the ones I have heard of...

● The camera is said to be not as good
● As the 6600 runs symbian v7, it cannot runs all the apps which were released for the 3650... Is this true? Is there a lack of apps for the 6600?
● The battery does not last as long, is this also true?

Please guys, persuade me that these things are not true so I may finally get a smartphone back!!!

1.Its a VGA camera,there might be some differences but not enough to matter.
2.Check the forum for working and not working application,there is a big sticky int this forum.Since it runs MIDP 2.0 there is a big problem with compatibilty with Java MIDlets too.
3.It depends if you are a have user or not.Some can squeeze up to 2 days or maybe more out of it.

Your observations are true but my only real issue would be number 2.If that doesn't bother you all that much get a 6600.

As far as the camera goes it seems the quality differs between 6600s as it does some other phones,pot luck really.

I wouldnt say there is a shortage of apps at all,just depends if you are willing to pay for them or not?

My battery is by far the best i have had on a phone (unless there is a lot of BT activity).
My Previous phone was a samsung V200 and the super huge extended life battery you get with it only used to last a day(and that phone hasn't even got BT).
