This phone could be placed by some as the most advanced smartphone to date (only some new, unreleased yet, PocketPC-phones come close in terms of features): Sony Ericsson announced the P990, based on Symbian 9.1. It supports UMTS, GSM/GPRS/3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, IrDA and it has an FM radio. It sports a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen, 80 MBs free storage, a 64 MB MemoryStickPRODuo (expandable to 4 GB), Blackberry Push Email, a QWERTY keyboard, and two cameras: a 2 MP on the back and a VGA on the front. For web browser it uses Opera 8.x.

What do you think the GSM and UMTS stand for? ;-)
Obviously my remark was sarcastic-- but really, this is not a phone. It's a PDA. I would never ever want something like this as a 'phone'.
A mobile phone needs to make phonecalls and send textmessages. All the extra stuff is just useless fluff, that makes the thing heavier, harder to use, gives it shorter battery life, longer boottime, longer re-charging time, more vulnerable (the little flap over the screen, the touch screen itself), etc.
All negative sides for me.

Can I make phonecalls with it too?
This is a PDA, not a phone.
