The only complaint I have with the 9300 is the control stick or whatever it is called compared to the 9500. it is much more 'fiddly'

I agree. That was my first complaint, and still, after over a month of usage, I've not really gotten used to it. I've never understood the point of using those fiddly little joysticks in phones - they plain su@k! Use a goddamn proper directional PAD next time, like the one used in the N-Gage - that one is excellent.

Well folks, having eventually been able to test a 9300, I'v decided to go for a 9500.
My phone is primarily used for business, although it's always with me whether I'm working or not, and the bigger keyboard and internal screen have swung me in favour of the 9500. Yes the smaller size of the 9300 is good and very attractive, but having lived with a 9210 for 3 or 4 years, size isn't really an issue for me, considering what is actually in the unit, and that the real alternative would be a separate phone and pda.
The only problem now is finding a 9500 with the latest firmware already installed!!
