I have the M700 - it's fantastic. Battery lasts a good couple of days even up to 4 I've had with little use. Great music player, good enough camera. Nice screen, and decent size for what it does. It has built in GPS receiver which is REALLY useful. Also, all the usual tricks like 3G, Wifi etc... Obviously windows mobile too. Really satisfied with it. Browser is very good, works on every site I've used and I use it a lot. Call quality is great, even the speaker phone's clear as a bell. The interface is easy and there are a million ways to use the menus, scroll wheel, directional buttons, touch screen. It's quite quick too, and doesn't seem to gobble to much memory either.

Hmmmmm, i still think if you want to use phones primarily as phones, then the symbianOS is much better designed and more stable. For the extra PDA features WM5/6 helps but at the price of speed and general overall usability... I've used a HTC Universal which in its day was the fastest WM5 phone out there and it still chugged at times doing very little. The phone application can be an annoyance sometimes.

Summing up:
SymbianOS Phone first, but does PDA stuff admirably
WM5/6 PDA first, but feels like phone is a tacked on app WM7 may change all this though, it looks like a big step in the right direction for MS touchscreen phones...

I agree with Lep, and it's one reason I've always steered clear of PDA style phones. A symbian based phone does everything I need and there are plenty of apps out there to do all sorts of things if you want to, but it's a phone first. Out of the two you're looking at, I prefer the N82.
