Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
Here's my plan....
If AT&T doesn't have the Black W580i, by the time I'm eligable for a new phone, them I'm just gonna go down on my list to my second and third options. I do not want the gray or white colors of the W580i, so next up would be the SGH-A717 or the upcoming SGH-A737 slider, both from Samsung. I don't want a Smartphone, because they're too bulky for a phone. Even if the iPhone was cheap and allowed 3rd party apps, I still wouldn't get it... It's too big. (And I refuse to use iTunes)
For me it's ultimately coming down to: The Sony name OR the Windows Media DRM 10 Subscription Support offered by Samsung.
I have a PSP, Mylo, two Walkmans and a VAIO AND two Location Free Boxes so I'd like to continue my Sony only investment portfolio. Well and 157 Sony CONNECT purchases that are going up in smoke in March and were never compatible with anything Sony Ericsson ever shipped, cept maybe in Japan.
Sony Ericsson never released an online store for use with their handsets. Though they were going to work with CONNECT in 2005, the deal fell through because of "hardware issues & limitations" which is bull.
Form one sony whore to another (we have 3 vaios, 2 SE W810i's, a cybershot, an Alpha, a PSP and 2 clies)
I use Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize the music on my W810i. It works better than SonicStage or SE Disc2phone. Your mobile should be the same.
