      Looks like it will come with a great headset out-of-the-box at least.

        Low specs considering it will make use of Gingerbread (even if it had Froyo), remember that Android make a lot of CPU and RAM consumption...

          The phone is pretty cool on paper.. but it's really ugly.

            SE NEO is a really good phone,but I expected better video quality! It is only 6mbits/s,too low for HD. Samsung Galaxy S records in 12-14mbits/s.
            Sorry,but I think "Sony Exmor R" is just a marketing trick.

                I have a Vivaz and this is definetly my next phone! Now bias aside, it does lag but not annoyngly so, and unlike many others - It can actually fit in my pocket. Going back to the Vivaz expiriense, the camera is ought to be more than great, because the Vivaz one already is. I am going to miss the video button though.

                    so why only 370MB of ram? would putting a 512mb break SE's budget?? nevertheless a decent device but shouldn't be priced over 300 euros now that we have dual-cores andeven some 1gb ram in the market! it's good i assume for those who don't want ot carry a 4.5" phonesin their pockets!

                        Anonymous, 10 Mar 2011I wish SE would have given Symbian 3 a shot never really... moreYeah, I believe that Symbian would be better if SE still on the game. S^3 is very fast and stable, it only needs a decent browser, better text input and better homescreen swyping. Nokia does alot of phones for all kind of market and they have to concentrate too much on hardware, I guess that with SE help S^3 would be alot better, and maybe SE would have more diferential than it has on Android realm, that all phones are almost the same.

                            I wish SE would have given Symbian 3 a shot

                            never really had a SE but i've been wanting to give them a shot, the Idou was kinda over ambitious in my mind i wanted it but the friend who had it, it didnt seen really all that steller

                            fast forward a fews years and the N8 is the ultimate Symbian phone, almost like a properly done Idou

                            i wanted SE's response to the N8, the Vivaz where great phones but looks like its taken over by Android

                            but i have to say Symbian should've had a open market accessible to All that i one big mistake of Nokia
