.. Too expensive to buy, too expensive to maintain.. Apple's vanity sucks!
lol, iPhone is NOT expensive to maintain. I haven't spent a single penny on it since I bought it (except for a protective case, of course). SE's are expensive to maintain (from experience). Actually, the reason I've not been active in this forum for a while because I bought an iPhone 3G S last Christmas and so far, I'm VERY happy with it. Wondering how I did without it years ago. But I'm not saying I have a bad experience with SE, I actually have a good experience until I bought a K850i. That phone is terrible to own and maintain. It's entertaining and interesting to mod though.
Regards.

@nnr3 in regards with hardware, yah! iPhone's not too expensive to maintain.. But how about it's features, such as apps, services and internet access?! Isn't it expensive?! On
, they uses Java platform, so it is affordable to use..
I beg to agree with you in regards in maintaining a
i remembered my K700i being repaired a year ago which costed tens of euros/pounds.. And their accessories such as the M2 and the HPM's.. They're too expensive!

lol, I'm not paying for my apps and internet.
I guess you already know how.
And yeah,
accessories are damn expensive, but so is iPhone's.

my experience with SE phone:
- strong network signal
- responsive
- excellent music phone, as what it is designed
- no frills
- plenty of users, plenty of mods
- always insists of sony's proprietary M2 or non-3.5mm jack until recently
I'm using a T230.
*Network signal could be better.
*Writing SMS is slow / laggy.
*Poor music phone
*no frills
*almost no users and no mods
*SE always insists on not including M2 or 3.5mm jack
*SE had many crappy joysticks (my other phone was the K500 which I loved but is no longer used 'cause of said crappy joystick)
*T230 has USB connectivity, unlike so many other budget phones now
Hah!
If I buy a new phone, it will be a bar-shape smartphone with a real tactile keypad with wi-fi and a browser that does Flash, but it would have to be really reliable, have good battery life, have a screen that can be seen well in the sun and it would have to last at least 3 years of trouble-free service for me to be satisfied with it. But I know that even if I had this I'd miss the small size of the T230 in my pocket and I'd miss the interface of it too.
I'd want to use them both for different reasons.
I read so many stories of new phones with buggy or slow firmware or poor hardware and I'm glad I'm not buying them. To me, reliability comes first. I'd much rather have a dumphone that's reliable than a smartphone that isn't.
ahh.. i remember my old trusty T310... it was working well until one day it's dead and SE centre said it's beyond repair. I also have K508 and it reminds me of the old Splinter Cell 3D Java Games.. that phone was the first phone that makes me freak about java games, during those moments.
the joystick of both device is crappy, but none crappier than K800. my K800 joystick broke into 2 pieces and the replacement isn't easily available either. i had to use K700 joystick for a year (it doesnt fit so the cover is off) until i bought the proper joystick and sold it off, again, because it fails after 2 years.
anyway, iphone accessories are abundant. that's what i'm jealous of. alarm and speaker docks, exactly what i needed. lol

I just got my first SE, a c901, yesterday.
Works perfectly in every way, I especially like how quick on it's feet and responsive it is. I've spent, no lie, like 20 mins just going up and down on the menu cause it has haptic feedback. And the gallery loads up crazy fast. So does the Camera.
Three things:
- No flashlight, even though it has a totally usable LED light in there.
- No option to use LED instead of xenon. Bestpic or whatever could also use some LED lovin cause xenon can't recharge as fast as it shutters.
- The WalkMate app doesn't work. I'm going to try a few things to make it work, but that'd be a really neat thing to have, and they robbed me of it haha.

Sony is pretty quick to advertise how environmentally and people friendly it is, and how the walkmate counts your steps, but it seems for 90% of us here, it just doesn't work.
And Gaynnar, a motorola w490. Two, really. They die out in a year and I had t-mobile replace it. 4 people in my family had the phone, only one of them lasted for 22 months.

I left SE in 2008 when I got a Nokia N79. The phone wasn't bad but I decided to get my SE C901. Now, it's good but I'd leave again if Nokia launches something better. I love the Symbian interface
