So does anyone have any idea what the "G" is for in the G series?

no HSDPA is unacceptable, and it should be available at this day and age even in mid-range phones let alone a smartphone.
Hitting the nail on the head.

@mode
do you currently use a HSDPA phone?
If not, then why are you complaining about the gseries not having hsdpa, not as if your using it now. Im not having a go at you, just asking!
I find the only advantage of HSDPA is downspeeds (obviously) Though, since those rates are so exspensive for mobile internet here, i dont care for it. And 3G is fast enough, not that i use that either (Again, rates are to $$$)
And, honestly, i dont find any coverage/reception differences between 3g and hsdpa. When i had k850/w910 i could barely ever get hsdpa coverage any way, i got it once for about 10 seconds!
Any way, 3g is fine with me!
I think the phone/s makes up for it in other areas.... price, features, and its overall size, its very compact for a smartphone!

General Purpose (they are advertised as having "broad appeal")? Fin
ger (as in finger touchscreen)? Or Or
ganiser (also advertised as Touchscreen Organisers)
New c-series is obvious - Cybershot. Also the new R series is also obvious - R = Radio (they can play fm AND am radio).
X = Xperia (Expert? Experiential? Experienced?)

this is right, I think very few people are in a position to really benefit from HSDPA (ie in a location where HSDPA is offered by providers, and data is affordable enough to actually benefit from faster downloads)
From that point of view, I hardly think "this day and age" covers it
In this "day and age" data is still expensive and only a fraction of providers offer true HSDPA service coverage. So it's not yet something that cell phone manufacturers ought feel obliged to make ubiquiteous imho.

I think all of the keypad looks awkward, like if it was made of hard plastic. Actually the G700 to me looks much better than the G900.
OK, since I've already started: the dedicated notes key. I'd prefer a shortcuts key or a browser key anyday. How many would actually use these phones in this way? The notes key is taking the sales concept of these two phones one step too far if you ask me.

as long as it's configurable to other options. I can't stand hardwired shortcut keys when they are for something you never use

@max and >500
I think that depends on where you live and your operator. Western Europe probably differs a lot from other locations but I think however I agree that there is not a lot 3.5G can do that 3G can't.
