Joystick vs. 5-way Navitgation button.

[Guest midgetdiablo]

hey. i was just wondering if theres a big difference on the T-mobile SDA's small joystick as opposed to the c500 5-way navigation button?

its just that i wanna buy a c500 cuz its cheaper, but i'd also like a joystick cuz it seems to handle better. is it crucial?

It's all down to personal preferance as both units do not have any diagonals for gaming. :)

You may find the joystick takes longer to get used to though.

[Guest midgetdiablo]

alright. then theres no real point spending the extra money for the joystick phone. thanks :)

I have experience of both C500 and SDA. The joystick on the SDA is a million times easier to use than the C500.

I bought my wife a C500 and she through it back at me 2 days later, cos she couldn't get it to select the right options. She insisted on an SDA, cos the joystick is so sweet.

My sons have a C500 and an SDA. Everybody who sees the pair of phones together prefers the SDA.

I couldn't get to grips with the C500 and gave up trying to use the navi-thing. I personally now use an MPx220 (much bigger buttons) very easy to navigate.
