The MAIN difference (but surely not the only one) is that symbian 7.0 supports touchscreens while 6.1 doesn't.
[edit]
According to this summary symbian 6.x supports "pen-based" input i thought it didn't!?!?!?
The rest of it is pretty much the same...
OK, here's a summary, extracted from symbian official site (
http://www.symbian.com ):
Symbian 7.0
Rich suite of application engines - including contacts, schedule, messaging, browsing, office, utility and system control; OBEX to exchange objects such as appointments and business cards; integrated APIs for data management, text, clipboard and graphics.
Browsing - fit for purpose browsing engine for full web browser support and WAP stack for mobile browsing
Messaging - multimedia messaging using MMS, picture messaging with EMS and text messaging using SMS; Internet email using POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, MHTML; standard attachments; fax
Multimedia - shared access to screen, keyboard, fonts and bitmaps; audio recording and playback, and image related functionality (support for all common audio and image formats), including API for graphics acceleration, streaming and direct screen access
Communication protocols - wide-area networking stacks including TCP, IP version 4, IP version 6 and WAP, and personal area networking stacks including infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth, USB
Mobile telephony - abstract API for cellular standards. GSM circuit-switched voice and data (CSD and EDGE ECSD) and packet-based data (GPRS and EDGE EGPRS); CDMA: circuit-switched voice and data and packet-based data (IS-95 and cdma2000 1x); SIM Application Toolkit and SMS. Other standards can be implemented by licensees due to the extensibility of the APIs.
International locale support - native Unicode characters, flexible text input framework, and additional font and text formatting (supporting the Unicode Consortium standard)
Data synchronization - over-the-air (OTA) synchronization support using SyncML DataSync. PC-based synchronization enabled by PC connectivity toolkit, supported over serial, infrared, Bluetooth and USB links. Framework provides synchronization of PIM data, transfer of files, and document conversion to and from non-Symbian OS formats
Security - full-strength encryption and certificate management, secure communications protocols (including HTTPS, WTLS and SSL), WIM framework and certificate-based application installation
Software development - four main programming and content development options: C++, Java (J2ME MIDP 1.0 and PersonalJava 3.0 with JavaPhone 1.0 options), WAP, and web; tools for building C++ and Java applications and ROMs, and for in-target debugging.
Support for multiple user interfaces - any input mechanism from full QWERTY keyboard, pen-based touch screen, to numeric mobile phone keypad.
