Do you carry another cameraphone as well as your e61? Iv always got my e61 with me and as well either an n80 or n73 so if I want to send a pic or vid from the 61 I take it with one of the others and bluetooth it across. Apart from the lack of camera I would chose the e61 over the n80 but thats my personal taste, I love the keyboard on it.

Why don't you go for the E61i? You won't miss the keyboard, for sure and 2 MPx it's enough for print on a 10x15 cm. The battery of N80 sucks and the pictures, altough on higher resolution, are full of noise in dark places.

go for the E65, not as media focused as the N80 but about half the size, faster and a lot better looking.

I actually moved from the N80 to E61.

N80's plus point for me was the high resolution screen albeit smaller in physical dimensions than the E61. Contrary to the camera's 3MP resolution, the images are lacklusture compared with the E61i when viewed on the PC, unless under really bright conditions. If you really need to have a camera then the N73 is defenitely something to look at but the lack of wifi is a major disadvantage for me. The N80's hopeless battery performance was something I couldn't live with, E61 is leagues ahead. Even the N73 is better.

You really have to ask yourself what are the criterias that are important for you to suit your needs before you can decide on a replacement phone. Otherwise people will be making recommendations from E50 to N95.
