No 3.5mm jack? I was really hoping that SE had seen the error of their ways, but I suppose the 3.5mm jack is destined for future Walkman phones only, such as the W995.

This is one of the burning questions. I cannot fathom why Sony Ericsson keep up with their rubbish proprietary connectors? Surely it adds to the cost of the phone? I prefer the data cable that works with my memory card reader, sat-sav, digital camera, psp etc...

I agree...these will not make share holders too happy.

The stubborn use of that HUGE, stupid proprietary cable is just cutting your nose off to spite your own face and the exclusion of a 3.5mm jack is plain daft as is limiting the touch screen input capabilities.

However...the daftest thing is easily this - 12MP!! They seriously need to fire whoever thought this was a good idea. Just drop the 5 year old K800i 3.2MP camera in there (if you insist, then make it a 5MP at most) and spend the rest of the saved money on all the other gripes.

SE can make great handsets, but they've seriously lost the plot over the past 2 years.

TR Said: "the Idou - which represents the first 12.1 megapixel mobile phone on the market and Sony Ericsson's also long overdue first entry into the full screen, touchscreen sector".

This is incorrect. Sony Ericsson has been selling the Xperia X1 since last year. It is a full screen touchscreen as well - which just happens to have a sliding keyboard behind as an extra. But the touchscreen itself is all you need to operate the phone. You could use that phone and never once open the keyboard.

People assigned to write these articles should at least be required to know the field they are writing about, one would think....

Come on SE when will you learn? Is it a big ask to have standardised phone charging cables and 3.5mm jacks?

@Kanu - we reviewed the Xperia back in January: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/review/2009/01/14/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X1-Smartphone/p1

I can only assume Gordon is referring to the iPhone-class of touchscreen-only handsets. It's true that "the touchscreen itself is all you need to operate the phone" but then that was also largely true back in 2002/2003 when SE released the P800/P900 touchscreen smartphones.

The Satio looks real nice. I have been trying to replace my P1i for a while (solely because it doesn't have 3G) but nothing has really jumped out at me, it looks really good although no rocker buttons is a fairly big minus. That and I will be paying for a 12MP camera that is a bit ott.. and I have no idea if it has any business apps from this :-P

Xperia is HTC manufactured and designed. Hence the 3.5mm jack.

The Xperia also uses non Sony type memory sticks. It looks quite nice but I wouldn't get a WM6 based phone as WM7 is only 6(ish) months away.

@Kanu - as Geoff mentions, I'm referring to an iPhone class of touchscreen handsets - full touchscreen means a virtual touchscreen keyboard and no physical fall-back.

I've written nearly 4,000 articles for TR over the years. I'm happy to field any query you may have and apologise if the phraseology was unclear. In response I'd suggest make future inquires in a more polite manner...

Again, I repeat, did the HTC devices such as Imate jam and all the XDAs have keyboards? No. And you have failed to admit that.

As to whether it has navigation buttons, some touch screen devices have one button, 2, 3 or none. They are all the same type of phone fundamentally. What differentiates them is that they have no keybaord and data input is on screen.

So this "iphone" class false. Its an artificial creation crated by iphone fanyboys. Best to leave that stuff out of real journalism. There are fanboy sites one can visit for that.

This just pure Iphone plugging. I phone was not the first phone with only a touchscreen.
