• I think this depends very much on your definition of smartphone. Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
• SE were doing smart phones when they were just ericsson.
  
  this seems to be quite a common mistake with alot of the reviews i read.
  
  It is SEs first user facing attempt to complete with the iphone, but the addons are there for functioanlity on alot of they're other phones. Posted by Andy, UK
• Smartphones is what they have done before... but it is their first foray into a Windows Mobile based Smartphone... ;)
  
  But i'm sure it'll kick ass and come out a huge success! Posted by Salman Khalid, Pakistan
• I don't believe Smartphones/Pocket PC's are trying to compete with the iPhone. These phones have been on the market for a long time and the iPhone is competing with them.
  
  I also think there's a lot missed out here. How does the keyboard feel and how useable is it? That's a huge aspect of a keyboard based phone.
  
  How good does the WiFi work? How does Windows Mobile perform on it, and the SE interface work?
  
  I know you had a short time with it, and I just don't think that with such a complex phone as a smartphone a short review can give it any benefit. Posted by Richard Brunton (Filmstalker), Scotland, UK
• Looks fancy enough, but not enough to set it aside from the rest of the market. Posted by Beverley Kerry, United Kingdom
