I know it may be a bit of an unusual comparison, what with the K790a having an awesome 3 MP camera and the E61 having none, but it's what i'm debating right now.

E61 Pros: WiFi, QWERTY, Big Screen
E61 Cons: Have heard Symbian can be slow, No Camera

K790a Pros: Excellent camera for a phone, SE UI that I'm used to
K790a Cons: Memory Stick Micro, small keypad, small screen for the size of the phone

Any more thoughts?

IMO having the Wi-Fi option trumps having the 3mp camera.If Nokia would only have released the E61 with a megapixel camera ( like Motorola's Q).

I like SE phones but,like you said, this is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

WOW... completely different phones. youll have to choose for yourself in this situation... keyboard + wifi or 3mp camera...

I fortunate enough to carry both phones with me at the same time. The E61 for data and the K790a for voice and media.

you REALLY need to outline what your needs are otherwise this comparison does not make sense. do you need strictly a camera phone, or do you need a PDA with WiFi capabilities? only reiterating other people's sentiments, you simply can't compare the two phones.

as for the symbian OS being slow, i suppose it just boils down to the phone. my n93 is comparatively faster over the e61, and it uses the same OS. just faster processor speed in the n93. i don't even know what you consider as "slow", but i find the e61 to be a great device.

please be more specific in your needs.

my NEEDS are a 3 MP E61 lol. but it doesn't exist. so i have decided to go with the e61, since dedicated digital cameras trump a cell phone anyway, and i really am attracted to the qwerty keypad and the wifi. whether they'll be as useful as i expect, that's another issue. we'll see
