I have an Android phone, I know exactly how they work, and no, to have have that it will haev to be thicker, which is pretty bad for a cell phone these days. The good thing about qwerty KBDs is that they are awesome for typing, but the thickness is the downfall. This has the downfall (thickness) and nothing to make up for it (no KBD).

It has better game controls.... look I myself am pretty sceptical about this device but your just trying to downplay it on a non-issue for most people.

Not really, the problem is that this is a phone, that happens to play games. The smaller the phone the better, and if you find me someone who says otherwise then good for you, but for the rest of the normal populance, smaller = better. This gives up the smallness and doesn't give anythign back as far as phones go.


I would argue the opposite, but to be honest, we don't really have enough information to go on either way.

A device designed by a cellphone company who had no involvement in handheld gaming prior to that point in time?

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.
