Sony Ericsson use to make such good phones but these days they can't seem to get of the rut of making the same phone over and over and over again...Someone at the helm over there is either asleep or in a bubble!

    Mid range phones are the most used nowadays....and i can say sony ericsson is all good in that area too...lyk i cant find any download manager in nokia mid range phones although they have gprs class 32...almost all applications run in sony ericsson phones which you find as application errors in nokia phones...nokia midrange phones cant even minimise da application...lets say nokia provides video screen saver,swf files but i dont even often use that...whereas sony ericsson phones dont have these but they are user friendly and durable battery too...so all the way sony ericsson mid end phones are good as compared to nokia mid end phones

      M, 30 Jul 2008"To all Nokia fanboys comparing this to your N82. This phon... moreWhat kind of resurrection? Let me laugh! For the last 2 years SonyEricsson has lost a lot of money producing useless phones!
      Even more the high rated batteries, with great standby are just a big confidence trick.
      What do you have to say about high SAR levels that SE phones have?
      6500 uses 3 Megapixel camera WITH autofocus and it can record VGA video. Could you please tell me just one phone of SE with so good video capabilities?
      And if you want to talk about resurrection… YES N82 is a RESURRECTION. It’s better and cheaper than N95 which was the biggest resurrection for the last two years.

        Why SonyEricsson does so many mistakes? I can't understand that. I thing it's following the steps of Motorola. Look around you! Take an example from Samsung, Nokia even more from Apple!

            Dont talk such complete and utter rubbish. If everything was a smart phone there would only be high end phones, no medium and no low as they couldnt exist with that technology at a low price. Get a clue, just cos you want something doesnt mean everyone does.

              Why bother putting 3MP in a phone without Autofocus, 2MP with autofocus from the K750i would be a lot better and save money as its old technology, But i suppose its all about the headlines.

                Im a SE Fanat!c, but i think this f0ne is w0rth n0thing!, 0h SE c'm0n. . , there's n0thing new 'bout it! 0h yeah, it has a wifi.. And the rest is w0rth n0thing! I think SE shoud make a n0n-touchscreen based uiq platf0rm, that they can put it to all bar, slide and flip type of ph0ne in order to c0mpare to n0kia smartph0ne perf0rmer! And w/ that, i think SE's sale will rise!

                              SE phones really good. They are working really well. But they have to concern on 4 things immediately.
                              1. 3.5mm Audio jack
                              2. 16M color display
                              3. Big touch screens
                              4. All mobile phone need to be smart phone

                                    seriously though.....why does SE always choose not to include AF in their cameras?

                                    I really do not understand it. This looks to be an upper-end device with a Wi-Fi & GPS, so why no AF on a 3MP camera?

                                      "To all Nokia fanboys comparing this to your N82. This phone is not meant to knock-out your N82. This is supposed to rival your Nokia 6500, or any other mid-end Nokia sliders.

                                      Watch out out for the P-Series resurrection. Coming soon..."

                                      This may be true, however most of the time the SE devices end up being in the same price bracket as some of the N-series phones. When looked at in that light it's easy to see where comparisons tend to be made.
