          bummy, 28 Sep 2010You prefer LG to SE? You must be out of your mind! LG hasn'... moreLOL, everyone seems to think $100 is a price point that is make or break. There is no way this is $100. This will maybe eek in around $300, but I don't see it a penny under.

            How exactly is this better than, say, an LG GD910 when it comes to day to day usage? It's kind of funny. Reading GSMArena's review of the GD910 was like asking grandpa what he thinks about those kids and their Internet. They just don't seem to get it and used the article for lame Star Trek jokes instead. As a communication device, the watch phones are brilliant. They have one major flaw, and that is you have to use a headset if you want to use them comfortably/privately, but they're still always available, hands free, and down right intuitive to use. I wish you guys would have worn the damn thing for a week and given it a fair shake before calling it nerd-wear ;) Oh well... At least you're embarrassing the form factor. I, for one, loved the GD910 and I'm also looking forward to what LiveView will bring to the table.

              Not a bad product, but SE should focus on regular updates for its Android handsets. It also needs to try more with the OS rather than just let the others walk over due to their laziness

                  this phone will flop. it may look cool but in real world only few people will buy this phone. sony ericson need to come up with better ideas. btw, lg phone are losing money and they are predicting it will get worse.at least SE is recovering.

                      Oz, 28 Sep 2010Its not that I hate SE its that they have lost their way. A... moreYou prefer LG to SE? You must be out of your mind! LG hasn't produce any goodphones since the smartphone/OS war began.

                      And even then LG's touch feature phones were pretty garbage. SE takes time for them to clean-up software updates. LG DOESN'T update at all.

                      Back on Topic.... I'd love to have one of these gadgets. :D Only question is price! If its $100 range its a no-brainer!

                              well SE obviously lagged terribly recently with refreshing their high end portfolio.
                              Even software updates are totally behind the trends.
                              HOWEVER..i assure you, there's a reason for that!!
                              I't like a quiet time before the storm.
                              And the storm(October anouncements) will bring things such as - play station phone with 1.3Ghz core and new POWER VR GPU, and Android 3.0 Gingerbread onboard!!
                              Also, expect a 12 mp android succesor of Satio and a new "revolutionary" dual screen tablet

                                interesting. As of right now, experia x10 is android 1.6 and the ad seems to display this new toy with it but touts it is compatible with adroid 2.0+ devices. And th x10's upgrade to 2.1 is still at least a month or two away.

                                  GRV, 28 Sep 2010hey you SE haters,,you want touch screen? big screen,,then ... moreIts not that I hate SE its that they have lost their way. A few years ago I would only ever consider buying SE but now there just such poor quality. Only there low end devices havent suffered(to much). SE used to be amazing but now its generally just tacky.....I would even go so far as to say I would prefer a LG to a SE atm.

                                      [deleted post]OMG your actually using the Mac 128K as a example.........oh hang on no u wernt cause you were just using word of mouth to insinuate you actually knew something interesting. How ever once again you are wrong Apple stole the idea for GUI's from Xerox......let me think oh that was 2 years before the Apple concept came out. You see I actually know this stuff you dont. Oh also BTW Apple wouldnt even be here if it wasnt for Microsoft. Also what tablet war? ATM there is no choice(ish) until the blackberry playbook comes out there is no similar device scheduled(and no the Galaxy pad does not count......although it is superior). Not even going to touch your touchscreen comment as it is kinda special needs and I'm enyoying laughing at it so much atm.
