Dylan, how can you speak for everyone? Personally for me the situation is reversed. I waited for 1 and a half year for Iphone to be released in my country and I have finally gotten sick of it. Xperia looks great on paper and the reviews so far are great. It has way more features than the Iphone. And I am so over the Iphone now. Even though I can most probably get an unlocked Iphone from HongKong for about the same price as Xperia now, I am not going to.
I know way too many who have been waiting for Xperia - they had the option to get the Iphone but they didn't. So don't base your arguments on how you feel about something. You can't speak for everyone.
I don't see why they still can't get a market share. I have looked at all the smart phones ... coming out this year and Xperia beats them all with its specs IMO. And for me it is the specs that are important as I am just sick of getting phones that lack one or the other feature that I want.
Stuff that Iphone does not have and Xperia does: 1. Bluetooth 2. Video Recording 3. Battery Replacement Option 4. Physical Keyboard 5. 800x600 resolution 6. MMS 7. Memory expansion slot
and I'm sure there are more but some of the above are just so basic. How can you have a phone without MMS capability? Even the crappiest models have bluetooth inbuilt nowadays. IPhone looks amazing but lacks some very basic feature not to mention as far as I am concerned they are way too late and way too closed with their carrier policy.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
