Anonymous, 09 Feb 2009Yes, as soon as the innov8 starts to hold on to a network s... moreI tried to explain you that SE can't show any progress.

And don't run from my question - the SE fans were talking for 3+inch touchscreen, xenon, internal storage and so on... Where is it? I remember all the comments "it will BLOW UP Samsung i8910 and LG Arena, it will have this and that"... Why you don't say that again...WHY? Because this phone is not the competitor you want. It's a nice Walkman upgrade and that's all.

I don't say it is bad. It's super for its class, but not what all expected. The hype around Hikaru will become a bad thing for it.

Am I wrong?

    Erm...nice specs...but....why isn't it a smartphone?:(
    I'm kinda bored of SE's software. Why don't they just use a normal OS like symbian????

        [deleted post]Yes, as soon as the innov8 starts to hold on to a network signal for 15 minutes at the least, I'll acccept your argument.

        It's a music phone. Stop whining about video recording. We really don't care.

                      Guys guys! Do you realize what kind of uberphone SE has produced here?
                      It sports one of the biggest screens in this particular area, has a 3.5mm jack-input which not all phones have.. will have the newest WALKMAN-Software which boost the soundquality up to the sky in never before heard quality!
                      And it has even loads and loads of storage.. awesome much storage... several GB's. This phone is such a killer, unbelieavable.
                      And the built quality of SE was always top-notch. Nuf said.

                            I already got the Xperia, which I really love.
                            Only I need a second phone, and that would be a really goed second phone ^^

                              IMO sony ericsson normal UI is better and more powerful than s40 by nokia and samsung UI.
