Is it worth getting if....

I have both a N-Gage QD and a Nokia 6600.

How im coming up to my contracts upgrade time and the 6260 comes out around this time.

I was wondering if I had to pay say �100 towards the upgrade, even though I'll still be paying for it via my contract anyway, would it be worth getting?

You see both the 6600 and the 6260 run on the same OS, and so the customizations of the handsets will be the same, with the exception of there being no MP3 ringtones being played on my 6600, but I use .wav ones anyway to get around this.

I also have recently gone out and brought a 20gb i-river jukebox so the MP3 on the 6260 is pretty much not worth considering.

I would be gratefull for any suggestions to me to why the 6260 would be worth upgrading to if I had to fork out another �100 for it.

If it was free on upgrade, which I strongly doubt, I would definitly get it.

Your thoughts ppl. :con?

It might be worth it, if you like to have the FM radio, or the stereo sound output of the 6260.

It might be worth it, if your operator/carrier offers Location, Presence or Push-to-talk over Cellular services supported by the 6260, and you'd like to use them.

It might be worth it, if you find the built-in Quickpoint and Quickword applications for viewing, e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint and Word attachments in email messages (or otherwise transferred to the phone).

It might be worth it, if you find the new Nokia PC Suite 6.1-6.3 has useful features and functionalites compared to the older versions.

It might be worth it, if you find the USB cable connectivity useful, because it is much faster than through infrared or Bluetooth.

Anyway, the choice is yours.
