This looks like it could do some damage (for Blackberry and if you decided to through it at anybody lol)
seriously though, i will be keeping an eye out for this, I have wanted a phone like this but have never really fancied a Nokia E series. lets hope it comes in at a reasonable price and SE could be onto a winner

                      i think this phone's pretty decent if the OS is better now~
                      but the cam should have higher mp since its kinda the same as the Nokia e72
                      honestly... i think Sony Ericsson is dropping the ball on its design...
                      whenever i heard Sony Ericsson i would think " the phone brand with the best looks"... guess its not so for the past yr and a bit and not going to climb back to the top anytime soon on my list =S
                      i think so many people this it's thick coz the design of the back gives that impression... if those ppl look at the specs sheet its quite thin

                                  I already have Samsung i780 which is a few years older and more beautiful version of this.
                                  3.5 mm audio jack is possibly the only thing I miss on my i780 (FM radio and accelerometer are nice but not essential as far as I'm concerned). Generally I like this form-factor (WM Ptofessional & portrait QWERTY) but this Aspen brings nothing exciting to the table, except for the fact that WM Professional & portrait QWERTY are still pretty rare combination.

                                      This phone looks great and is an exciting new product for the sony ericsson portfolio. Has pretty all the features that most people would need and even has a touchscreen unlike nokia e72, which is a good thing i didnt buy it!! hopefully it will come out soon for about $400 us. Go Sony Ericsson!

                                        Good to see the business phone portfolio in SE's resume after the p1i. Good to see the touch screen is preserved. But only lagging fact is the camera which is a step back from the 3 years old p1i.

                                        Would have loved the more compact model of the canceled p5i, with the slider, rocking qwerty and the 5MP AF cam with Flash.

                                        The Camera and the Multimedia sud have been the convincing factor with this phone.
