I've just had the opportunity to play with a mate's nokia 6600 over the past few days, and I have to say I'm impressed, I'm even considering changing. I was going to buy a p9, but I might not now. Looked @ the specs, there near enough identical, but the Nokia has a few added bonuses the p9 doesn't.

1- SD Card. Loads more space, more readily available in shops, Nearly half the price of MSD. ( I can get a 512Mb SD for less than £90, whereas a 128MSD will cost me ~£50)
2- RealOne Player. .rm file much better quality and smaller in size than mp4

Just lie down in a quiet, dark room and all will be well

If that is stopping you from buying a P900...
I don't know what you are planning to do with 512 mb in a phone, but...
Seeing your second question I guess you want a lot of music to carry with you, the 6600 won't have enough battery life for that kind of music playing
I think you'll be better of with an I-pod, that's even cheaper memory.
Imho 128 mb (I’ve been using one for quite some time now) is more then enough for music on the go (ogg is also an option, twice as much music than mp3), and in other features the P900 overpowers the 6600 easily.
Don’t only look at the memory is my advice

I can see where you are coming from with liking the 6600 but as far as SD goes i tried putting my sd card into my brothers 6600 and it does not fit. I think it only accepts mmc also it is a nightmare to change the card with the slot being under the battery.

Also i prefer the screen on the p900 aswell as being bigger it is touchscreen which is great when it comes to some things.

I think i am right in saying the p900 has a greater selection of software aswell. Lastly the p900 has much more of a 'cool' factor.

These are my impressions after using my bro's 6600 and dads p900. I am now going to get a p900 after seeing these two in action.

Also to compare another device i have a treo 600 - which i am currently looking to sell pm me - which i really like to use! The thumb board and the 5 way pad all make it easy to use. I love the selection of palm software available it has everything i need but as i want to use my device for multemedia the screen and camera just can't compare with the p900 so i am going to have to sacfice some of the software and ease of use and thumb board in order to get a p900. In the end it boils down the your key uses to someone who would not use the video or camera much the treo 600 is perfect just not for me. I'll add that the treo screen is hugely bright and the colours are displayed well, just not enough of them!

It's not just for the music. It's for the movies, and watching simpsons whilst on the go. I can cram roughly 6 episodes of the simpsons onto a 128 MSD. With a 512 I could put all of the simpsons on and still have room for music and an entire movie (~120Mb)

Only 6 huh I can get up to 10 eps
What about that series 60 menu, it's a shame that a 65k screen gets such an ugly menu. Then I'm not even talking about the smaller screen size compared to the P900, think watching a movie on the 6600 isn’t much of a joy.

@Fear-factoR

How the hell do you manage to cram 10eps in. The best compromise of size and quality I've been able to get gives me an epispode size of around 17Mb
