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:

128MB / 60MB persistent user storage
2GB microSD external storage
1.3MP camera
4 hours talk time / 250 hours standby
HSDPA/Bluetooth 1.2/ IR
300MHz Samsung processor

Price: Php39,000++
Nokia E61i
320 x 240 pixels @ 16 million colors
60 MB of internal user memory
2GB microSD external storage
2MP camera
5 hours talk time / 9 days standby
3G/EDGE/GPRS/WLAN 802.11 bg/Bluetooth 1.2/USB 2.0
200 MHz ARM processor
Symbian OS v.9.1, S60 3rd edition

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?
Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together.
I once again find myself spending way to much time both
reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
Hi, can any body assist me how to get this video tutorial from this web site, I have
watched and listen it at this time but would like
to down load it.
I still see value in Palm Treo 750. I hope Palm would revive this with thinner design. Looks better than BB.
Can anyone actually provide a good review for the Treo and the E61i?
These idiots who have commented have obviously not used both products, so there’s no point in giving one-sided reviews based on nothing but opinion and personal preference.
Daniel is obviously a Palm fanatic of sorts, and would not be qualified to give a review on both Treo AND Nokia. He’ll just end up bashing Nokia.
So if anyone has actually used both products, you are most qualified to give a review. Cheers.
Hi Yuga,
Honestly, the more I spend time browsing and reading your blog, the more I am falling in love with it. It is quite addicting accessing your blog everyday.
I recently posted a question on your “Tracking WAP/Mobile Visitors” about any recommendation on what mobile phone should I buy and it was like an answered prayer, you posted something about your next phone.
NE61i has already captured my heart, but I am still having my second thoughts, though. Your comparison post about NE61i and Palm Treo made me to decide to get NE61i.
I am really glad I found your blog. More Blessings to you!
does anyone know whats the price of Nokia E61i in Greenhills? tnx
