Was not finished with last slip of the fingers caused a premature release .
I have been a Sony Ericsson customer for about (9) years . I have been awaiting the X-1 but that only came with a 3.2 Meg. camera that my P1i has plus it were a windows Os .
I waited for the X-2 bigger camera and was hoping for this version would go back to Symbian . Which it did not .
(Bummer).
Instead I'm now looking towards the IDOU / SATIO . I wanted to stay with the business / professional style , what offer many internal features that I find very useful .
The reason that I'm looking away from the X-2 is that it is based on a Windows Mobile Os .
The reason that I'm opposed to a Windows Os. is simple :
everybody and their brother , Hack Window's . I like security and privacy .
I believe that their are Only Three Known Viruses in the World for Symbian .
I am very pleased with the system and how it functions .
There are so much that the Professional line of the Sony Ericsson had to offer that this is very hard to step away from (too many to list) .
But with the Window's Os - I gotta go !
I'm open for return comment , suggestion and incite .
I hope you found this helpful .

The reason why RIM has so much more marketshare is that they were smart enough to build their handsets to work on both of the 3G networks. Therefore, they don't need to care if a subscirber wants the quality of the Verizon network, or the cost sabings of another network.. RIM has a Blackberry whichever way they decide to go...

I love Apple... I had an original iPhone. I LOVED my iPhone.. but in the end, it was the spotty quality of AT&T coverage in my area that made me switch back to Verizon...

Now I'm just frustrated as I want an iPhone, but I'm not willing to give up the Verizon network to get it....

and who am I mad at??? Apple.... for being so stupid as to not build the iPhone for all the carriers & letting the subscriber decide...

I have been an Apple fanboy since I got my original Mac in 1984 (now I'm showing my age!) and this situation has really made me go slightly negative on Apple... (but not enough to use a Windoze PC-LOL!)

Truth be told and the simple answer:

You're not using Windows Mobile or the Windows PC Os, because you don't know how to. Hence the reason for using a dumbed down Apple.
