Given the fact that Sony Ericsson isn't entirely Sony owned, and the fact that the enitrety of Sony's experience in the handheld market is the PSP, which isn't exactly doing great, I'd have to say this isn't exactly in any better shape. I mean hell the SE HQ is in London  or France if I'm not mistaken. It has its own president and everything. So this is in the exact same boat as Nokia was.

lol your grasping at straws right now...admit it that was a stupid thing to say..you compared a gaming device made by Nokia to one by Sony, a company that has great heritage and has made a great gaming device...and fyi, just because DS is doing great doesn't mean PSP is doing bad...ok for a second let's just forget the sales (even that apart from NA it's still doing nicely in other regions) ...psp is a GREAT gaming device and a great device that has some amazing games, comparing the psp to ngage is an insult and your losing all credibility...it's good to know when you lost a debate to bow out, cuz this is rather silly of you

No it really was not, this is a phone that has a shoehorned gaming system. Also SOny has a great heritage, yet its PSP line was failing, furthermore SE isn't even SOnyitself, so I do not see how those are straws at all. I never EVER compared the PSP to the NGage, now you are just putting words in my mouth. All I am saying is that SE is basically in the same shoes as Nokia was, with a slight edge, however it has been shown time and time again, if you shoehorn gaming into a phone, you fail. I highly, HIGHLY, doubt this will be any different.

Already it is obviously a bad phone, it's thicker without the benefit of a QWERTY. This is catering directly and solely to the gamer crowd, however let's face it, if you want to game seriously you'll get a PSP or a DS.  It's not exactly rocket science to see how this can fail.

I just hope it doesnt hurt SE too much because I absolutely love their W350 phones.
