Hi guys

Need a bit of help with a decision. My SX1 has bitten the dust for the 5th time, and insurance co has deemed it uneconomical to repair.

They have offered me an n70 as a replacement. The n70 doesn't really hold much appeal to me - it's bland looking and seems like a middle of the road sorta phone.

I have to let them know tomorrow if I'm going to accept the offer. I would really like to push for an n91 or an n80, but need a way of justifying asking for such.

I've primarily used my SX1 for:

Music playback
PC remote control
eBook reader
radio
Internet browsing

Are there any issues with any of these on the n70? Is the n70 stereo sound from the builtin mp3 player?

As mentioned I'd prefer an 91 or 80, but can't think of anything the sx1 does that the n70 wouldn't handle to be able to justify asking for an n80 instead. I really really wanted the high definition screen of the n80.

I may opt to see what they would payout instead of the phone offer. If they would give me the retail price of an n70 (unlikely?) I can get a direct imported n80 for almost the same as the retail for an n70. I may also ask what it would cost me if I offered to pay extra and be upgraded to n80.

Advice/suggestions?
