Prizefight: Nokia E61i vs. Sony Ericsson P1i

By CNET Asia staff
Jul 30, 2007

Judges: Reuben Lee and Damian Koh

The Sony Ericsson line of smart phones have long had a loyal fan following, and when the P990i went on sale at the end of 2006, interest was high because it was a smart phone that will please tech-minded consumers and professionals. The Nokia E61, on the other hand, appealed to business users and IT professionals with its suite of applications powered by the Series 60 platform. But what really shone were its extensive connectivity features and the omission of a camera.

In this prizefight, we pit the successors of these two popular smart phones--the Nokia E61i and the Sony Ericsson P1i--in a knockout match to see which will emerge the winner. We cannot promise that it'll be a clean fight, but it'll be a fair one.



So let the punches roll.



About the judges

Editor Reuben Lee has reviewed more phones in his six-plus years at CNET Asia than most people have owned in their lifetime, and secretly hankers after the iPhone even though he has a list of 20 reason why no one get should get one now.

Senior Writer Damian Koh has been hoping to be the first to dream up a dSLR phone. Too bad, someone's beaten him to it. Seems somebody at Canon has already been talking about a digital SLR camera-phone, to be called the Digital Rebel XCP.


This article is by no means exhaustive and is only a quick comparison of the Nokia E61i and the Sony Ericsson P1i. To find out more about the phones, check out the full reviews of each phone on the CNET Asia site.

Excellent review. Price forms a very important factor before deciding on to buy, i wish that factor was also weighted against each other.
