Just leave SE and buy a Samsung / Nokia or LG.
I am still stumped over both Samsung and LG taking over SE, in both areas of sales and handset quality - which goes to show, make a nice product, outsell the competition with a weaker product.
I were an SE fan since the T68i, but now I am no longer blinded and brainwashed by loyalty.
The T range is still good and purty looking though, I think that I will just buy the latest T phone to use as my spare handset, and now I am moving onto nice large touch screen phones on my contract to make good use of the subsidised prices.

Nokia is out of the question, Samsung's rendition of Symbian isn't really that good, so probably only LG cuts it. But LG's best phones are the touchscreen ones and I don't like them either...
And I prefer to be blind

But they ALL have better phones then the C905 and X1 Xperia now.
Better in every way.
Oh, and so do HTC, maybe just not in regards of camera though.

What a load of rubbish! It's the little things that make SE phones great not just the big things that turn teenagers on like Gazillion Mp camera's.
I read on another forum a post from a Nokia owner trying to get SMS off his old Nokia onto his new one. This stuff is bread and butter for SE owners, you either archive SMS on your M2 or use MPE. My V640i sync-ed itself to my new Vaio via BT, I didn't have to do anything even with Vista on board - I was stunned at the simplicity. Stuff like that. SE phones are so multi-faceted you keep finding new ways to use them even months after purchase.

Again, just more brainwashed SE fans
. I am glad to be an ex brainwashed SE fan now after reading the lame excuses people keep on making for SE.
Who could seriously give a .... about transferring messages between an old and new phone, as opposed to features?
Every SE phone except the Xperia is just a clone of the T68i in terms of UI, there is never anything new or different from SE, just the same old, same old stuff with minor improvements, and nothing made in time to compete in 2009 against Nokia, Samsung, and LG's new releases.
Lets wait untill the end of this year to see how much more market share SE loses to both LG and Samsung.
A few years ago, SE were the second best company in terms of phone features and specifications, now they are falling to the bottom.
But the sales figures will speak for themselves, just wait and see.
And I cant believe you just considered that SE is an adult brand and others are for teenagers - I think you will find that the walkman brand is purely marketted and aimed at teenagers with people like, as are all the fashion phones that SE keep on releasing like the new T707.
SE are going to continue to fall lower and lower unless they bring out something good earlier then the Idou, but it doesnt look like that is going to happen.
And you complained that there is more to phones then a gazillion megapixels, wait, which manufacturer was it that invented the Cybershot brand again?
Cybershot = OMG Gazillion megapixels, and Walkman = intended for teenagers right? Seems right to me.

Well I do prefer to sacrifice some features for the awesome ui found on se's. I only have to push 6 buttons to send a (blank) sms to someone. Plus they have proper multitasking, even on feature phones.

Yes, I like the SE UI too, thats why Im keeping my Sim Free T700, but on my contract upgrade the best SE had on offer against the new LG Arena was the C905.
Why would I want to get a C905 instead of the new LG Arena?

You won't, because touchscreens are your thing...

Says who? I have never ever owned a touch screen phone before, only just about every T and K series phone from SE, so how do you mean that touchscreens is my thing? I would assume from past purchases that SE phones are my thing, so why do I not want a C905 at all, and why exactly any I drawn to the LG Arena?
Several reasons:
- Better features
- Better screen, touch screen or not, it is still 3", 800x480 pixels, and 16m colours
- Looks a lot better
I want the better, most technically up to date handset, I couldnt care less who made it or if it is touch screen or not, but a better phone is a better phone.
Touch screens are hardly anyones 'thing', but they are making such a strong emergence this year and SE have been left far far behind.
Imagine if the opposite was true - SE was the only phone manufacturer to have a good touch screen phone, and no one else did, or lets say that the LG Arena was actually an SE phone instead. Fans would be jumping up and down over SE's technology leadership, over their touchscreen, and rejoicing and waiting in queue to buy one.
Well, thats not the case. SE have fallen far behind technically and are now having to rely on dedicated fans rather than actually having any competitive products.

ITs a natural tendency of a person to be bored of something where they have sticked too long. Thats why for you SE is same and old. For me its Nokia since i have stayed with Nokia for far too long, and every offering of theirs brings nothing new to me, besides the design.
Goodd luck with your LG.
