HTC Tytn vs Nokia E61

So I've finally narrowed down my options to two phones, an e61 and a tytn (the first one) and i don't know where i should proceed from here. Both are in my price range, and have exactly what i'm looking for, which is mainly wifi for email connectivity and web browsing to cure boredom at times. Since i'm around APs all day every day, there's no sense in getting a data plan, hence wifi.

However, assuming both phones do this task fairly well what else should i take into account? I like tytn's huge screen and windows mobile ridiculous expandability, the slide out keyboard is nice too i suppose, but the bloody thing makes the whole unit thick as a proverbial brick.

E61 on the other hand, i love the relatively sleek bar shaped design with a qwerty keyboard right on top. The os being more stable too, even though symbian's expandability is somewhat lacking, at least it's been my experience.

Having access to ssh, an mp3 player and hell maybe even vnc if it's possible would be nice too. What I'm basically looking for though is functionality, the more of it the better.

So...any suggestions?
