There's been a gaping hole at the top of the sony range for getting on for 2 1/2 years. i had a P800/900/910 but even 18 months ago when i got a ancient (but quite cosy) M600 their flagship phones (990 then p1) were unusable and quickly dropped by the carriers. since the death/abdication of palm and sony there is a real, huge demand out there for a decent non touchscreen-only phone for grownups - the only workabl option is the N95 or something from RIM, and for me the bold is much to big and the curve much too old, just take a look at how much a treo still goes for on ebay. the X1 might be the answer (though if ever there was a company holding up its hands and saying 'ok, we're no good at this game, we'll get an somone else to do it for up' its sony with the X1), the googlephone isnt there yet. i just want a nice looking qwerty phone that'll wont cause me trauma every day for 18months, and my choice much too limited than it should be in this fairly mature market - Paris, what should i do?!

sony's fiddling at the edges has left a big hole
