Got the Sony Ericsson W980i today.
Just wanted something simple, compact and sleek and this seemed to do the job.
The iphone 3G was offered to me on v generous terms, however I'm somewhat of a technophone when it comes to these things and besides disliking the keypad, the iphone seems overly complex...All opinions shared are my own, and are not necessarily those of my employer or any other organisation of which I'm affiliated to.

Palm Debuts New Touch-Screen Phone
LAS VEGAS -- Palm Inc. introduced a long-awaited new operating system and touch-screen wireless phone on Thursday following a nearly two-year long restructuring effort designed to revamp the company's product portfolio.
Shares of Palm got a lift following the company's appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The stock has lost more than half its value over the past four months as sales of the company's aging line of smart phones have begun to stall.
At the event, Palm executive chairman Jon Rubinstein announced a new device called the Palm Pre -- a touch-screen phone that also slides out to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. It will be the first device to run on the company's new WebOS platform, an operating system Palm built from scratch for a new family of devices.
"We need the right phone on the right platform to compete in the market," Mr. Rubinstein told the gathering.
At Palm, Mr. Rubinstein has been leading a wide-scale restructuring effort designed to revive the company's business. Palm was an early pioneer in the smart-phone category with its Treo device, but the company has since lost market share to rival devices such as the BlackBerry by Research In Motion and Apple's iPhone.
The new Pre device is similar to the iPhone in many ways. Both use touch screens to allow users to operate the device, and both feature so-called "multi-touch" technology as well as accelerometers to sense the angle that the device is being held.
But the Pre slides open to reveal a full keyboard rather than an on-screen keypad like the iPhone. The Pre also features a removable battery.
The device will be available exclusively on Sprint's wireless network in the U.S. sometime in the first half of this year, though the company did not give a precise launch date. No price was announced either.
