15 December, 2009
Just in time for the holidays, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness is available in stores. And as expected it's got a concierge service to go with it - just like the one bundled with Vertu phones. So you get...

nick, 16 Dec 2009yeah maybe but it doesn't make sense to me... like i said... moreSorry nick, you're just not right. I did everything you did, and still prefer a BlackBerry over any incarnation of S60 any day. Our Nokia's specs may go thru the roof but the OS? It's dated. Even me would admit it. E72 comes in my country with lifetime Nokia Messaging but no one buys them, sadly.

      If your poor. this phone is not for you..
      if your rich and your money is just enough to buy a smartphone... then why buy this phone
      go buy a smartphone and not wasting your "just enough money"...
      If your rich that has everything already.. and you wanna try something new. try to look different. and unique
      then this phone is just for you...

      some people just buy this kind of phone just for collection...

          Agree with you, but SE think we are stupid, 2 make up 4 there losses they're trying 2 sell this one overpriced and the cost 2 make it is nothing. If they sell this phone they will be making about a 2000% mark up. the cost 2 make it is about $50 max. What they don't realize that rich people who can afford this are generally not stupid, and their target are 4 the stupid people. I therefore declare that SE are a bunch of fools!

            but...i also have nokia messaging on my e71...and now i'm using it for free...payng for about hmm...10 cents from my data plan to stay connected 24/7 for a month...how much pay for blackberry packet?! :D
            iphone ...i don't even look at it...the-re stealing patents from nokia...that's why nokia is suing them...also they have components from samsung...if u didn't know...
            so what apple is selling to u...THE BRAND...and maybe theyr os interface...wich i don't care either
            i hacked my e71 and i can have wich app i want...and i have over 100

              Fonebox.com, 15 Dec 2009Are those Bluetooth earrings?Hahaha. Funniest comment I have ever read on GSM Arena.
              My opinion on the Pureness is:
              Concierge services = Buy
              No 3.5mm audio jack = No Buy
              Will I trade my Continental BlackBerry Bold Snakeskin 24k Yellow Gold for this = No

                I am still in a state of shock. Who will buy this phone ?
                Apple and Nokia, must be very pleased!

                Apple strategy is to make one phone, with everything in it, to try to please everyone. So you only have to carry one electronic device with you.
                Nokia strategy is to make 20 different phones a year, hoping one will be ideal for you.

                Both strategies have their merit.

                But SE release faulty phones, that people return to the shop in frustration.

                This will not take customers away from the iphone. Many people buy the overpriced iphone, just as a status symbol. And only use the few bits they need (Texting, Voice calls). And are unaware of what it is capable of!

                As an example, a few days ago I wanted to compare the effectiveness of my touchscreen phone using GPS and google maps, with a friends iphone. She had no idea that the iphone even had GPS or built in Google maps. She only needed voice calls and texting facilities. But she HAD TO HAVE AN IPHONE !!!!!!

                  This is no where near being on par with a Vertu. The screen is cool, but I think this will be as popular as the Motorola Aura...not very popular at all.

                    Did I read correctly on the site? 1.60 W/Kg SAR rating? On a DUMBPHONE? That is not good at all... especially since it's supposed to be "Pure".

                    Epic fail...

                      WTF thats not a concierge "service" at all, just a list of *very* specific perks you get. This is just a glorified coupon book.

                        How can a concierge service be an "essential function"?? It would be funny if Sony Ericsson weren't my favourite mobile brand- but I find it just sad.

                          who does sony ericsson think they are? throwing around their money like that? You cannot tell me that they are going to make a profit out of this. This program is just accelerating their impending bankruptcy. Why dont you invest some of this money into product testing so they dont come out with bugs. God, the bugginess in SE is worse than nokia back in 2003

                                    i won't pay more than 50$ on a phone that's not a smart
                                    and if it's a smart...it should be symbian os...and if it's s60 it should be Nokia

                                    and people...phones are not jelery...it's not about how much the gold cost that the phone is plated with
                                    it's about high tech...it's about how many things can u do with that technology...it's allready a piece of art
                                    jelery phones is for spoiled people that don't even know how to use a smart at all its capabilities

                                        Come on! Waste of natural resources for creating this dump phone.
                                        Let me ask you all, who is going to buy this phone?
                                        An ORDINARY person won't change their phone to this except for those rich and hardcore SE fans who are willing to let SE suck their money for nothing.
