Look at the name under the cockpit canopy... LOL. Yup, Dubya's dad flew this Grumman Avenger during WW2, in the Pacific campaign:

Well guys, here goes.
Nokia 6500 Classic (3.2mp) v/s Sony Ericsson P1i (3.2mp).
First comparison:
Slightly overcast conditions, late afternoon in our back yard:
Taken straight after each other, both phone cams on default settings; no fiddling whatsoever.
P1i:
6500 Classic:
The Dark Side's won this round, no question.
Check the trees in the far right top background, for instance. All washed-out with the P1i. The pine tree needles in the right foreground and arch rosebush in the centre are also much sharper with the Nokia, and so on. You can all judge for yourselves.
Even if I had set the P1i to make the picture lighter (thereby not using just default settings), this would've obviously then impacted even more on the already washed-out foliage in the background.
Will try a few macro mode comparisons later.
So far, it's 1-0 to Nokia...

@ama
thanks for the n78 update. R4500, that's not good cos it probably will cost more than that in SA. I agree, the 6500 shot a better photo.
GUCCI
So, how was it?

P1i pic taken yesterday near the legendary Camden Market in London:
@ gola:
Yeah I reckon that it'll follow the trend like most handsets here and drop in price in a few months' time. It's only phones like the N95's, 8800 series etc that have held their value very, very well since they were launched.
But yeah, in the same breath, Nokia does hold their value the best and as we also know, the price drop increments won't be like the ones of Samsung handsets, LG etc.
The 6500 Slide and 6500 Classic, for example, have both only dropped about £50 (approx R750) since they came out( although I bought the one for my sister for only £85 i.e R1280 on esato!). The 8 Gig N81 is now hovering around the £250-odd mark, which isn't a massive drop here since it came out.

Not the best P1i pics out there, but good enough to get some idea of the colourful and decorated shops around Camden Market:
