Better build quality, more features and of course ... a qwerty keyboard!
^This. I still use my E7, all be it only really as a dedicated sat nav as you can no longer get Sygic GPS on Symbian so my 808 is stuck with Nokia Maps and it's awful routing.

E7 is still a cracking device IMO, even after a good couple of years use the battery is fantastic(despite its small size) and the hardware really is something. Physical qwerty is a joy to use and for my taste Nokia Belle is a decent enough operating system(of course would prefer MeeGo but that's another story).

Negatives of the E7, weight(I don't mind this personally but it is heavy due to materials), not the best antenna(again due to materials) and really poor for macro photos(otherwise camera very good!).

The biggest question should be can you live with Windows Phone(I'm not a fan) and to that matter Symbian? I'd choose the E7 with Symbian any day of the week, it's alot better than many reviews suggest.
