So what does everyone think of this phone? Does it make you want to upgrade your K700? After my contract is up, this phone will probbably be the next phone I buy to replace my T616. It won't replace my iPod mini though!

Could be interesting. Would limit the need for a iPod a bit. I personally like flip phones more and second Sony's have the wrost reception of all the brands so im not to sure if I would even test it out. Does it have bluetooth?

Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.

Yes it has bluetooth.

While early SE phones had shitty reception, SE has come a long way since than. I'm sure reception is quite good. I would give the phone the benefit of a doubt until you see some reviews pop up.

I don't know my Z600 is pretty new and its reception is crap. A coworker got something that is like 2 months old from Hong Kong and its like all the other SE's. I wish I had more Samsung options because I've always liked them. But that phone looks cool.

I like how more and more cell phone makers are beginning to take the camera aspect of their phones seriously.

I'm thinking this will also be my next digital camera...

Its not that they didnt take it seriously, it was just physically impracticle before. But as things are getting smaller, more powerful and cheaper its a reality. What we are seeing with cell phones is true convergance with technologies. Cell phones in the past did one thing and that was be a phone. Then they became contact managers, then time managers with calenders. Now we are seeing them become Cameras, music players and more.

Yes, this phone will rock. Pity it doesn't support 3G though.
