Can't compare them.
e51 is newer, faster, better. But e61i has a bigger screen.

Yup, as krazy said. :D But one more thing, the e61i will feel very sluggish compared to the e51.

Its difficult to choose though. For me the bigger screen and qwerty is just as tempting as higher RAM and faster processor.

Hey desiibond, didn't you check his siggy?:D
@raj200, I'll suggest you for E51 if you don't need qwerty keypad and can live with the small display.

I am using a e61i, i bought this phone because i needed a large screen for browsing internet, and for its qwerty kb. it also supports blackberry - may be e51 will also support but if you intend to buy a blackberry killer this is better phone than the e51. now coming to cam - it is ok in day light but in low light you can not expect much. i am a camera phone fanatic and so a bit disappointed, however this is not a camera phone but a business phone and it does its job perfectly . it is also a bulky phone and i had to buy a phone carry case worth 1k (original nokia - duplicates ones will come for 4-5 hundred). if you are not going to use internet on the phone then go for e51, and if you want to use your phone for full fledged internet browsing then go for e61i. and if you want to buy a 2nd hand e61i then you go for mine, i will sell mine in near future.

^^ Yes you can. Both the phones come with Adobe Reader built-in or you can download additional software like PDF+.
