e61 vs htc prophet

[ilovejonas!!42]

Looking to get a wifi device primarily for web surfing. Which one is better/easier. It will double as a phone am im fearing the e61 may be a bit too wide for long conversations. Discuss.

well, do you want a qwerty keyboard or not?

its not a must...but would having it make outperform the htc that much for websurfing?

I doubt it would help with websurfing, but it sure does help if you text or use the calendar/notes/word processing apps a lot. How much would you be typing?

Not that much, msn would probably be the only time. I am almost wondering if I should get a seperate pda with wifi because they have larger screens. But I really dont want to carry two devices.

Personally, I'd say the E61, but I've never used a Prophet so I'm biased.
With the things that either of these phones can do, it seems kinda silly to carry two devices. Just my opinion, though....

Is the e61 your main phone? Do you carry it around all the time? If so, how do you find the size?

Yeah, it's my main phone. Sometimes I swap it out for my 6682 on the weekends if I doubt I'll be texting or will need a camera (the one and only thing I wish the e61 had, btw...).
The width doesn't bother me, and it's much slimmer than I had expected. I had the 8125 before this, so I'm obviously not from the "smaller is better" mindset.
The longest call I've had on the e61 was for about 45 minutes and it wasn't a problem. For me, at least.....
The speakerphone is ok on it (I'm no expert or even picky on this, so take that comment with a grain of salt..), so you can always put it down if need be.

Anytime!
Just be aware of the differences in keypad layout for the e61. There's at least 2 different threads about it in the s60 forum.
