Nokia E61i vs. Palm Treo 750

Two new 3G/HSDPA PDA phones out in the market. The recently launched Palm Treo 750 against the revised and even better version of the Nokia E61i.

The highlights:

Palm Treo 750
Palm Treo 750
240 x 240 pixels @ 65k colors
128MB / 60MB persistent user storage
2GB microSD external storage
1.3MP camera

HSDPA/Bluetooth 1.2/ IR
300MHz Samsung processor
Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC
Price: Php39,000++

Nokia E61i
Nokia E61i
320 x 240 pixels @ 16 million colors
60 MB of internal user memory

With the E61i is 37% cheaper than the Treo 750, the features above at almost close to each other. Though the Nokia model is slower in the processor (200MHz vs. 300MHz) and the connectivity (3G vs. 3.5G) compared to the one from Palm, the WiFi capability is a good addition.

I think I’m going for the Nokia E61i. What’s your pick?
