The Camera, the music and THE most important feature, gaming WITH a joystick. The next logical step would be for Sony to have added a JOYPAD,like a directional nintendo pad, positioned at the end of the phone. The Java games were starting to look REAL good 'Mobil Rally pro' '3D Boxing' etc. Add a TV output and you have a GREAT music, camera AND gaming phone. But.....NOOOOOOOOOO, Sony cocks up up BIG TIME by not making a joypad and, even worse, removing the stick altogether. The result.......ANOTHER bloody walkman. Gamers form a MASSIVE base of phone users and Sony screwed them over. For a company that makes Playstations and PSP's, its unforgivable. They have themselves to blame for ignoring the gaming market. They were geting soooo close with the k800, but now they're lost in the wilderness. Sony ALMOST had it.
