If E51 is cheaper then there is no point in going for K770, not even for camera. If you're even remotely serious about camera then go for K810.
With E51 you get
-bigger screen
-operating system
-wifi
-looks
-edge
-irda
-faster processor
-smaller in size compared to K770.

With E51 you get
-bigger screen(same resolution)
-operating system(not everyone needs)
-wifi(depends if u need)
-looks(k770 looks much better)
-edge(doesnt k770 have it?)
-irda(useless)
-faster processor(suffecient for what it does)
-smaller in size(but thicker) compared to K770.

You're joking, right?! Identify the camera phones that produced the following:

@>500, I'm from Singapore and I can get the K770 or the E51 at USD$50 and USD$35 respectively with a 2 year contract.
@QVGA, Fanofmodi, the specifications of the E51 are definitely superior. I just wish there was a similar offering from SE. I've gotten so reliant on MPE that it's a major consideration when it comes to getting a new phone.
@All, thanks for the input so far, I'd love to hear more, especially from current K770/E51 users. I have till Friday to make a decision.

Oh yeah, K770 doesn't have an operating system. It's nothing but a brick.

Thanks for all the input! I would have gone for the E51, or I should have. Instead, I went for the truffle brown K770. I'm posting from it as we speak. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with it, having used a K750 and W810 prior to this. They were much faster and the buttons definitely felt better. The K770's feel a little stiff. Perhap I should just give it some time. Also, the LCD display seems to be poorer than my W810's. The colours are pale and there's a yellowish tinge. My W810's display was so much better, the colours were very vivid.
But apart from the above, the K770 basically has everything I need in my phone. Being able to use MPE to transfer my contacts and calendar entries is a big plus.

The same with my wife's soft black K770. The yellowish cast is odd, just like how most TFT LCDs turn as they age. Maybe SE got some surplus old displays and instead of throwing them away, decided to use them in an entry-level Cyber-shot instead. And the creaking battery cover is something SE kept from the K750. Good that some things never change...

E51 is soon to be available minus the camera just like they did with the E50, one with and one without a camera.
