Deciding Between N95 8GB and E71

Hi, I need help choosing between the N95 8GB and the E71. I really like the N95 but, I'm pretty worried about the slider as I have heard some of the horror stories. Please tell me witch one you prefer and why. It would be great if you could talk about you past experience with any of these phones. Thanks

N95 cause it outspecs e711, is a nseries, and i think slider problems are overblown.

I'd also take the N95, it is an all orund top performing handset, and I really don't like QWERTY keypads. The E71 has its merits, excellent battery life, nice build, good all round quality. If multimedia is important to you then the N95 8GB cuts it, If that isn't the case then maybe you have a case for the E71? Depends how you get on with that keypad, though.

Two very very different Nokia handsets, both of which have lots of information within these very forums. It all depends on what you want from your new phone.

what you'll miss if you get the e71: camera (i can't even join the photo competition here anymore), n-gage, bigger screen, 3.5mm audio jack.

but you'll get: awesome battery life, qwerty, slim, sexy looking.

I've had a chance to use both of these phones, and for me the N95-8GB is much better with better specs, and generally IMO a better phone.
