Oh for ****'s sake, come on Sony Ericsson....

I have the C902. It's almost perfect other than the Keyboard whose reverse sloping keys make it possibly the worst I have ever used.
I really hoping the Satio peforms well, but initial reviews are not encouraging.

Having owned:
T68i
T300
K300
K500
K700
K750i
K800i
K850i
X1

I won't be buying another SE, the quality has taken a drastic dive, I have had to send back my X1 twice within 10 months of ownership for design flaws and other issues. And they produce shockingly bad software for their update service

Yep, SE are quickly on their way out

shame they've not understood what made some of their phones so simple and popular, e.g K750i and K800i

??? How so?

They provide some good handsets + if they head down the android router, they are far from been on the 'way out'.

The thing that made the phones good were that they had decent cameras (better than nokia etc at the time) easy to use, good features and most importantly, they weren't too expensive.

Look at the current flagship range:
X1
X2
X10
Xperia pureness
Satio
C905

All of these are ruddy expensive, the pureness is over £500 sim free, for a phone without a colour screen. The X2/X10 are going to be VERY expensive too, the X1 I only got as it was cheaper than an iPhone and offered similar functionality. The Satio is over £550 RRP and runs symbian, not exactly high spec

The camera sucks on the X1 (3mp and cheap) and the x2/x10 dont look to be much better

Then compare them to motorola who have the droid/HTC android phones which looks like what the X1 should be, Samsung have the camera market now really, iPhone has the Pxxx series phones, each case they are more expensive than the other brand who does better in that area.

Can't disagree with you there Finlay
SE make some lovely phones, but they are vastly overpriced.

The X1 was made by HTC as SE had never built a WinMob handset before, so that explains the bad camera though isn't really an excuse as SE should have been able to help the in that regard.

never heard about the Pureness before, that is a weird handset!!

I know

The x1 should have been BETTER as it was made by HTC, with a Sony camera system it could have been a really good phone

[666moe666]

The X2 has been put back so many times on Vodafone, and that's still going to be 2 months ahead of o2 when it finally does come out...

[tsukasai]

was struggling to get my x1 just about this time last year with o2 and ended up pretty disappointed appart from the build quality. not really sure about the x2 though, x10 has been announced and there is HTC HD2 as well
