E63 vs K500i; comparing apples to oranges

It is entirely unreasonable to compare these two cellular devices of technological eras that are poles apart and targeting an altogether different user base but let's do it for the betterment of minority who are still not there.

E63 happens to be a phenomenal upgrade over an ageing K500i for me. It boasts a full QWERTY keypad, Office Applications, PDF reader, Push Email support, microSD card slot supporting up to 8GB, a decent music player with 3.5mm audio jack, a movie player that scopes 16 million colors on its 2.36 inch landscaped TFT screen, EDGE and most interestingly WIFI on a Symbian platform that also supports free proprietary applications like Opera Mini, Windows Live Messenger, Youtube and Facebook available online. It also features a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera for taking occasional snaps.

It lacks a standalone GPS chip but who cares. This deficit has not compelled me at least to spend an extra Rs. 10k to go for its elder brother tagged E71.
