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.

You really should stop going down this road cuz it makes you sound ridiculous as you go

why bring in psp at all to the debate then? You just said psp is 'failing' so they are in the same situation as nokia, give me a damn break already....psp is NOT failing..for crying out loud, it's sonys first step into the market and they have sold what around 70 mill plus units? and has a GREAT line up of games for it.....so no it's not a failure by any means and it still gets amazing support

SE is part of Sony...I have enough trust in their hw to think they will make this work and make it work well, their history should tell you that. Pls do not compare this to that crap of a HW that was NGage....if you want think of this as xperia line with psp gaming capabilities and you will have your product....especially when we know the vast difference of knowledge Sony has in comparison to Nokia the situation should be obvious to you or anyone else...Nokia was never about gaming....Sony has been doing amazing work in the gaming industry and they also have SE line which gives them enough knowledge of both areas unline Nokia...so stop this BS mockery already, you ARE grasping at straws here

I bring up the PSP because it is not anywhere near as successful a handheld as the DS, which means that Sony aren't exactly experts at making successful handhelds. That's it. Put it on top of the fact that SE isn't even the same company as Sony itself and what you have is a game phone which is very very strongly reminiscent of the Ngage.

Also No SE is NOT part of Sony, it is a joint venture between Sony and Ericsson. SE has its own HQ, its own president, its own earnings reports, its own everything. It sounds like you need to go read up on the relationships between Sony, Ericsson, and SE. Yes it can use things like the Walkman from Sony, but it has its own R&D department for most other things which has probably done the much of the actual design of this phone.
