Sony Ericsson M600 and the Nokia E61

Here I go again, I've blogged about these two phones a couple of months ago, and I might say I am very much impressed by both. Last week I was strolling in a mall and saw that the M600 is already available locally, it's P20,300.00 in that store, now I know it's price range, then in a local mac forum the Nokia E61 is running around P24,000.00. Whew very close, both has it's own identity, the M600, the minimalistic design and of course the proven SONY ERICSSION badge of flawless connectivity and synchronization with other devices, which Nokia lags far behind. While the E61 has a very compelling feature that is lacking in the M600 which is the Wi-fi capability. Only the M600 has that touch screen. Both doesn't have any camera as they are aimed for business folks, both are 3G capable and is ready to recieve (only) video calls. Of course both are expandable with their own set of minute memory cards. Then the only thing that I dislike is, their OS, both uses Symbian OS, the M600 uses the UIQ while the E61 the Symbian 90. The reason for the dislike? Well, mobile viruses that attacks this operating system. Yeah some would say that it's a small price to pay for not being to causeous in accepting unknown files. I would agree if you are 100% pathogenic for suffering Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but for "normal" individuals, though very careful with transferred files, that accidental push on the YES button is detrimental to my P20 thousand phone. This is the same reason why I am still with Sony Ericsson phones (with the exception of the P- series), because it's immune to these malwares. Nonetheless, if I follow strict procedures, it won't be too long before I get my hands on these or at least one of these wonderful toys. There goes my savings again.
