As you're ONLY interested in the 4 points mentioned(not those that others seems to be quoting), then please, consider this:
1) Looks - if you're under 25, and everyone you know has youthful phones(xpress music, etc...) then you'll probably prefer W890.
As someone who can't stand branding plastered all over my devices, it's not for me. And when I'm out for a smart evening(where many of my associates have 8800Arte, Porsche P'9521, Vertu, etc), my black T650 STILL gets glances, even now(I'd be laughed out of the places with a walkman phone)......
2) Build quality - W890 has all-metal covers, T650 is 2/3 metal, 1/3 plastic(for aerial, if you didn't know, Nokia learned this with 8800)...W890 feels classier, however, if you actually strip down both phones, they are both built equally well. So I'd say this point is a dead heat - tie!
3) Ergonomic keys - W890's keypad has bigger keys for texting, whereas T650 has K850-style, so this one's in 890's favour. Softkeys are similar, T650 might have the slight edge on Dpad(nice size for me), but overall, for texting, W890 will be easier for most people......
4) Battery life - on this, people I know with W890, say it manages a couple of days. Well, T650(even my prototype one) can easily manage 3-4days, on a 20 mAh less powerful battery. So, not really a contest......
Lastly, black T650 is like black
W900 - they will appreciate in value, due to relative rarity...whereas there are already hundreds of W890s on Ebay...and it's prices already reflect this(easy to get for any A200 device, W890 included.
Hope this helps your choice!

W890's keypad is small and if you have big fingers forget about quick texting.
I press wrong key many times and i have average size fingers. With w880 i ididn;t have this problem but anyway slowly slowly i get used to it.
Other than that the phone is very good with stable firmware.
Battery life is better than T650. I used both

@Aware,
W890 easily manages more than a few days. My review model lasted 4 days between charges.

Thanks for all the replies.
I think I am leaning toward the w890. Re: the w910 I already have... lovely phone (in particular the screen), but the keypad is awful - I end up hitting 4 keys at once and wheras with my w810i I could compose a text message whilst walking down the street, with the w910 it requires concentration and countless presses of the 'c' key to correct the typos. Plus the slider is wobbly, it feels fragile and the call quality is poor - that's why I want to change.
In an idea world, the Nokia 6500 Classic would have the Sony Ericsson user interface and bigger keys and a radio - then I'd have the perfect mobile!
