                    Let me tell you about the Sony that I know: Chromed Plastic buttons that chip and flake, flimsy plastic back covers that bend and pop off, and buggy firmware that freezes and reboots. I think Hikaru must mean "So Sorry"

                            I hope that small and sleek design won't affects the speaker power.. lately.. all those sleek models were lacking the quality in speaker sound, my W910 is one of them..

                                it seems to be another slider walkman phone without touchscreen or a bigger screen and a xenon flash.. and its design reminds a little w910.. the 8 gb memory is on a card or on board as mentioned in other sites? i have to say that the 3.5 mm jack was a nice addition.. but i believe it would be better for it if it had a touchscreen at least 2.8'' or higher and a xenon flash.. also i hope its screen resolution to be 480x320 or higher...the greatest would be to have a 16gb on board memory plus a m2 slot another 16 gb...does anyone knows if there would ne a new touchscreen smartphone in mwc 2009 from sonyericsson such like xperia x2 or a new px series? also hope tha nokia will release any 8 megapixel camera phone or another n97 version as mentioned on t3 magazine?

                                  good spec sheet however i have always been a bit put off by sony erricsson walkman phone but never know why lol, if this is actually good at all its features and not just a music player then i think its set to be big, lets just hope they keep the price of it down so its attractive to everyone not just people going on contract.

                                    The phone seems hot ,especially spec wise. To bad it isn`t a smartphone or who knows, SE use a 3.5 mm for the first time on the X1 which is a WM device, maybe Hikaru will be a S60 V5 or normal S60, at least I hope.

                                        Good job SE! BUT…!

                                        This phone has everything from the top of the range mobile phone can have. Quality metal case, 8MP…. It is a very well done phone!

                                        BUT!

                                        SE fans were saying that when Hikaru will came out it will blow away everything else. It is a shame on those fans because this phone is excellent but it will not blow away the newcomer phones like Hitachi, the new LG or even the iPhone in some aspects.
                                        If this phone would have a touch screen with a flawless interface like the iPhone does, an ApStore and all what it has now… THAN it would blow everything away!
                                        This way it is just a very good phone, top of its range.

                                        God job SE! But nothing revolutionary.
