Sony Ericsson missed the boat a few years ago. When every other phone maker was going thinner, lighter and more stylish, Sony Ericsson dismissed "thin" as "a trend" and kept making heavily-featured phones in 1990s form factors.
The same way Apple never lowers prices, they just add more memory and features at the same price point, Sony Ericsson has been doing the same with size. Just cram more features (ridiculous-megapixel cameras and bloated and redundant "Walkman" crap) into their boxy phones.
Sony Ericsson needs more phones like the T700... great bread-and-butter phones that are thin and sexy. And they need to get more of these phones into the hands of the carriers (and consumers). I can't remember the last desireable SE phone that was available on a North American network.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
