Oh - and Seb also volunteer to take James W out in his dinghy (an Optimist) to test the waterproof cases!

At the bottom end of the market, Sony Ericsson contine to knock out really good 'Normob' handsets - it is at the top of the range that they appear to have totaly lost it.

Well done Simon Rockman - you get my vote!

A message from Sebastian - my 9-year old son:

Daddy,

Can you tell those funny men on not sms text news that I need to win the Skypephone. It is totally unfair that everyone else in the family has a Skypephone and I do not.

If I win I promise to do the dishwasher and clear the table FOR A WEEK - and will do a video for the show.

Seb

I tried to tell him, but to no avail.

He doesn't understand the need for mobiles particularly well. He only has his phone because he likes the contract he has off of O2.

There really is no hope for him.

I know! I told him the iPhone is actually an alright phone, and it does do a quite a bit.
His argument is that his Moto makes calls, and sends texts; thus it is all he needs.

He is extremely stubborn though, so actually trying to persuade him from his one-sided views is almost near impossible.

And what did he say about your iPhone?

My Grandad was just going on about how is Motorola Razr is utterly brilliant in all of it's glory. I showed him James Whatley's "Normob Walkabout", and the Moto bit.

I quote my Grandad:
"And they are only doing that because they know the Motorola is device of brilliance, far beyond their own".

Oh dear.

Now, if Nokia could come up with an all-singing, all-dancing device like the Xperia with S60 speed, I'd be shelling out straight away. They just seem to diversify the range to the point where you can never quite get what you want!

Nice show again though, guys!

That's just it Ben, you're NOT missing the point at all.

Great fun and I did enjoy myself, but it felt more like staff party than an actual SE party.

Yes - we've been lucky of late and been the intended audience of most of the events we've been invited to... not the case this time. But my main observation of the night was not that it wasn't a 'blogger event' more that apart from one corner there was virtually nothing to identify it as SonyEricsson. I would have thought even a bit more branding would have been in order... but I'm not a marketing person so perhaps I'm missing some of the 'art' here... :-)

I have to agree mate.... Undeground = Poor Venue for a MOBILE event.

But, in argument to that, this *wasn't* a 'blogger event'.
The majority of the attendees were press and are different beasts entirely.

I had to keep reminding the guys of this throughout the evening.
Might have to write this up...

Hey now, maybe they had brought in a repeater so there was phone signal? :) Maybe they also brought in a WiFi access point?

Bah, but you're right, the people who plan these events sometimes don't get it.

When will the PR guys realise that a hole in the ground with no GSM or WiFi coverage is a stunningly sub-optimal location for launching mobile phones!

And who compiled the guest list - the guys JW interviewed (apart from Ms '2phones, one of which is an N95') appeared to be bodies just pulled in off the street - hardly mobile trend setters! I am intrigued to find out who Ms RAZR was, and what the heck she was doing there!

[I am still smarting cos I was not invited to the party]

Thank you guys for the Etymotics, I very much appreciate it, especially since I"ve been considering some new headphones anyway!!!

Also very much enjoyed the show this week, and thought your coverage of the SE world was quite balanced.
