From what I've gathered, the 9700 has better battery life. I'd include that in factoring top phones but would still give the 9650 the edge for the RAM. As stated in other threads however, extra ram will only truly help once OS6 comes out

Yeah strange the 9650 isn't ahead of the 9700 as it does have more memory and one is slated to run OS6...who knows why, be here guessing for some time.
This coming from a 9700 owner as well, lol! No matter, love my phone...don't matter if it was 8th on the list or not on the list...IMO best phone "I" have ever used.

All the phones that are ahead of the 9700 on that list came out 7 to 8 months after the 9700 was released with the exception of the 3gs. In the modern era of tech on cell phones, that is pretty good. Oh and 11 you might want to try to post once...just one time, without using that emoticon.
