each to their own choice of course, but I loved the jog dial and in pre-touch screen days really made menu navigation a breeze

Of course. And just as a side note, the volume slide switch on the side of
phones scrolled through menus as well just hold up or down to keep scrolling.

Well couldn't help joining once I saw we were talking jog-dials. Boy did I wish I had a Z5 with its 5-way jog-dial, had the J70 with the 3-way which was awesome back then, which means the 5-way were even awesomer.

This mentions Sony making a huge loss. It also mentions their loss in sales of their TV sets. That is cos Samsung again is selling quality LCD tv's at better prices & Sony TV's are way too expensive in comparison for the same quality.

Interesting part from that is, "He also said that Sony’s smartphone business would be key to the firm’s future." So there is no room for failure especially after investing a billion into it. Guess this a good thing though, that the their phones will be their main focus and worked on heavily to be competitive (hopefully) so we should see far more competitive hardware? And the quality we've come to expect from Sony, but not so much from SE since the days of the K800i.

I'm sorry, but please explain how the Z5 was ugly (in its day - but even today it still holds its own IMHO)
anyway, since when did Sony put out ugly products... they are very similar to Apple in that respect
Design wise Ericsson was miles ahead at that time.
Just look at the lines, element gaps and transitions, curves and edges on T28 (1999) and compare them with Z5 (2000).
Seriously, how does one even begin to compare the toy-like Sony phone with the pure class that is Ericsson? The T28/T29 were made by aliens, nothing that the mobile phone world had ever seen. There definitely were aliens working at Ericsson and they knew how to make quality phones that were as well built as they come. I miss that metal frame around their phones, my GH688 is sitting in its box without a battery but in excellent condition after countless falls.
I always bought the ultra slim battery for it and it looked really slim and better than the phones back then.
There just is no comparison, Ericsson were ahead of Sony in all departments.

I had both Z5 and T28.
Z5 was like a ferrari compared to T28 being a Mercedes...
It had a fantastic big screen, great speed and jog-dial, the best control devices i had used in years...
Even now in the era of big touch screen devices I miss a HW control option like 5-way jog dial....
T28 had compared to Z5 better battery and more decent looks.
But in terms of size and usage? Z5 was the clear winner.
Oh boy how i miss that phone....
