E61 vs. Dash?

Between the Dash (HTC 620) and the E61, what is your preference? What makes one better than the other? Software? OS? Hardware? They seem like similar hardware devices. I'd love to hear all opinions. I know I'm in the Nokia forums but I want to hear all views. Thanks.
 
I've had both and I prefer the E61 even though the Dash feels much nicer. The keys on the E61 are better. I don't like the touch sensitive volume keys on the Dash. The Mic key on the E61 is too easy to push and it's annoying. I would have to give the nod to the E61.
 
Played with a Dash in the T-Mo store... keys are not as good as E61, and build quality doesn't feel as solid. Does have a camera, which is a bonus, but unless you really need a cam, the e61 beats it out in about every way. S60 is WAAAAY more stable than WM5.

What is the big problems with WM5 anyway? I mean, aside everyone -including me- here being Symbian fan boys (and a few girls, of course).

I mean, personally I feel its Java support --for Opera Mini 3.0-- is not as good as Symbian's. I have tons of friends with Moto Q's, some older I-mate units (read: HTC) and although I personally don't like the look, it is not like like I have ever seen their devices crash. Now, don't get me wrong, I am sure they do, just like my Symbie but no more to call it WAAAAAY less stable.

Also, some of the media support is alright. It beats Symbian since a lot of it is already incorporated, plus they do not have to buy *ahem, find* external software.

Now, all of that said and done, I would not buy one for the simple reason that if I were to buy a MS product I would updgrade to PPC.

Or maybe I might stick with the new Cavalier, since for what I read it will have HSDPA and Wifi.
