The best phones I have ever owned were Sony Ericssons. How I yearn for a slightly modernised phone from them! My favourite was one that had a slide-out play station controller. That thing was awesome for wasting time on.

Yep, k700i, k750i, w902 — all superb phones, sometimes I even miss them a bit.

Funny that a few years before that I was a big Palm/Clie enthousiaste, so the idea of "all screen no keyboard" wasn't new to me. Yet I gave up after Tungsten T5 and stayed with just Sony Ericssons for several years with no desire to but a PDA or smartphone.

I had all those phones! And also the "cool" white matrix-style slide-out one. They were really great, except the joystick/navigation thing always failed. Even when you cleaned them out, so annoying.

I miss the jog-dial ones. At least, I remember it very fondly but I would probably hate it now.
