I was tempted - but then reality set in. Anyway, I returned the POS Satio to the Telecom shop and walked out with a Nokia E72 - it's like wearing an old comfortable t-shirt. What was I thinking...

No more Sony Ericsson rubbish for me.

I had one of these and it worked great until I put a 16Gb micro sd card and filled it with music, played up a bit mainly freezing. Did a check and found there was new firmware as well as a software upgrade for the S60 operating system. Went to store, sent it to Telegistics, came back a week later wayyy better. No lockups and faster and smoother throught the menus ( when reading music / data / video from cd card was very slow)

Just a quick question - You have demonstrated a reasonable knowledge of Mobile OS and PC Sync integration, did you apply this knowledge when you made the conscious choice to buy a Satio over an E72?

I guess an important point to consider is that you chose the Satio. Having used an E75 myself, I would think hard before choosing a Satio over an E72.

BTW, iPhone iOS4 on XT is sweet!
