MMS just isn't needed as E-Mail allows you to send better quality pictures or whatever then restricted MMS does. MMS is a tool for Networks to make money out of you some of you need to wake up as it's far from being great.
I have to disagree with you here. MMS may not be good in sending photos but it is very good for audio message. In some countries, audio message is becoming very popular. Even in newer Nokia phones, they have added a special option for audio message. It sure beats typing a long message.
Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle black A2DP is flash it's quality compared to a wired solution is CRAP! get over it, so suggesting the iPhone is just flash and then pointing out it is missing something flashy SE has is just so funny.
My stereo BT headset do sound very acceptable to me.
And I dont think we should let Apple off so easily for crippling most of BT profiles
One thing I do agree is that it will be tougher for SE (as well as other manufacturers) if the price of Iphone is reduced to 150 euro on contract.

why would you send a voice message when you could just call the person? and leave a voice mail if needed? Just wondering.

Back in 2000, Telecom NZ implemented a 15s voice message function on thier analogue 025 network to compete with Vodafone's txt messaging which had taken off. Voice messaging flopped and Telecom eventually upgraded(!?!) to a digital CDMA network and dropped the voice messaging.
I've noticed that Nokia 6234 and SE V640i both have voice message capability but I don't know anyone who's heard of it let alone uses it...

Boinng, please, the real price is not that one, i though you d know better...
I generaly buy phones unlocked and free of contracts, and in those conditions the iphone would cost just the same of all the competition (between 500 and 600 euros)
Ares, you've just said it yourself - the Iphone will now cost just the same as all the competition. They've dropped the artificially inflated price and harsh network lock-ins that kept the original Iphone away from most consumers.
O2 in the UK have announced they'll be giving it away "free" on £45pm contracts, or for £99 on £30pm. More amazingly, they're not claiming exclusivity this time - suggesting that one or more of the other UK networks may be selling it as well, which means competition, which means the price could come down further. It's out there in the open market, fronting up squarely to everything that SE, Nokia etc have to offer, with comparable pricing and deals available. That's the real change that Iphone 2.0 brings.

Then maybe you can wonder further and ask why you need to send a SMS instead of calling the person.

Dogman....
Not everybody checks emails on their phone thats why mms is a better choice (for now) to send a quick picture etc and the end user receives the pic straight away like an sms. Yer there is push email etc but like i said most mobile users dont use the phone for emails.
I think music quality is far superior on other phones like the walkman series. Even wireless headphones quality is better than the wired shitty ones you get with the iphone. A2DP quality on my phone is fantastic.
Mobileme is an extremely good price, im on htcs (HTC is another Manufacturer with the same service!) free 2 month trial atm and then £10/month (id imagine mobileme is gonna be £99/year in the UK.) Its a shame mobile me is only supported by iphone mobiles and itouch as id seriously consider it if they did! Im pretty sure SE have a similar service but dont really advertise it.
SE are releasing the Xperia with a 3.5" screen if you hadnt noticed. Not all people like large screen mobile devices and are happy with smaller screens so they fit in pockets better etc, like myself with the HTC Diamond.
I Do love Sony/Sonyericsson gear but i agree currently their high end smartphones do Suck, im sure the X1 will rock but for many like you and me we have already made our choice (you with the 3giphone and me with the Touch Diamond) as they are already here/almost here!
The Games look good on the 3g iphone but heres hoping there will be an SE PSP Phone in the near future which will launch with a massive back catalogue of games!.....Its gonna be interesting!
