Now I have to plan to replace my Nokia N80. This phone is great. I dont want the N95 with built in GPS as the GPS is better outside and placed on a open sky position.. I dont want my phone to get baked in the sun as well.. ;-)

"A stereo Bluetooth headset (HBH-DS220) will be included in the retail box in addition to the usual wired headset."

The future is here!

No, it's the past. Still no HSDPA.

No, it's the future! The difference between HSDPA and UMTS is small! In real life experience is really small! So, u can't tell me "don't buy this brilliant phone cause it don't has hsdpa!" Cause UMTS is clearly enough for all the staff! I think thats the best phone from the new walkman seria, and my words are prooven by the spec sheets.. Also by the phone's outlook(point of own view, it's different for different ppl-thats normal)

Cheers!

Oh wow.. .I'm drooling.
I kinda liked the w950i already but it had a few drawbacks - no camera, no WiFi. This just sounds/looks like it's fantastic.

Put my W950 on ebay today - couldn't get on with the keyboard.

Wonder when this will be available?

I meant it's great that they're including stereo bluetooth headphones in a sales package, wasn't commenting on the actual phone.

HSDPA versus regular UMTS?

Definitely there's a huge difference! You can't even compare regular UMTS with HSDPA as HSDPA, given you're network has good coverage, is 6 times faster...

Imagine downloading a file for only 5 minutes using HSDPA as opposed to what would have been 30 minutes with regular HSDPA...

If only this was HSDPA enable, this would be perfect. I'm not really complaning though because It already has almost everything I could ever want on a mobile :-D

RDS for the radio sounds good - I don't listen to the radio on my N80 on the train just because you have to keep twiddling the reception.

I respect other's preferences. But I still think that S60 smartphones are more productive for daily life work. It's my preference.

Hi all,

Sorry but no HSDPA on Data centric device due towards the end of 2007 is really not on especially when some of the other SE phones are getting it just makes no sense. Although i do think think it is a stunning phone lack of HSDPA and still using the same processors and graphics chip as the P1, P990, W950 and M600 this far down the road is also very disappointing. You have to wonder just how many of those blasted Nexperia chips did SE buy and when are they going to get round to getting newer chips. 90% there just 10% missing but what an important 10% it is IMO.
