What are the differences between these phones?

Feature wise, none that i am aware of. It's all down to the form factor:

- E61: very thin, very wide, large landscape screen that displays more info on the screen at once than the E60, qwerty keyboard

- E60: much smaller, slightly thicker, much smaller screen, "double resolution" screen (displays less info at once than the E61 but fonts and icons look smoother), traditional phone keypad.

I personnaly like the E61 a lot. It's thin enough to easily fit in a jean's pocket, the qwerty keyboard is pretty good and makes typing SMS, short emails, web sites addresses and forum posts so much more easier than a traditional phone keypad, the screen looks fantastic.

Of course, since it's very wide, people might look at look in a strange way when you take a call on that but unless having a phone that looks like a phone is your absolute top priority, i'd go with the E61. It does all that the E60 does but with a larger screen and a qwerty keyboard and frankly, once you'll have tasted that, you'll never be able to go back to the traditional tiny screen and numeric keypad phone design.

What about the battery, which one is better on this issue?

I really need to use a bluetooth headset, have you got any idea about these phose bluetooth performance?
