Ewan chats to Sony Ericsson development supremo
I think we are moving into a situation where people have two devices - one for business, such as the M600, and a stylish phone for the weekend such as the P990. So I think what SE are doing is good - to have different form factors, features and price points.
I would imagine that most people with a separate "weekend phone", prefer the "weekend phone" be as tiny as possible (which for most would exclude something like a P990).
Sorry, I can't believe this. Are you honestly saying that people sit there on Friday evenings and Monday mornings swapping SIM cards and re-syncing data?

Not actually related to the topic, but I tried to get the podcast from AAS mobile site (with my P990), but got only error reports from the site telling that the link is invalid (and error about error page too). Maybe you need to tune the mobile version of AAS a bit?

Personaly I don't go quite that far. Though I do have a little SE T68, that I bought 2 years ago off eBay for a tenner, that I use when I'm going to the pub etc or just somewhere where I don't fancy taking a �400 smart device.
@Steve
Many people have 2 phones as one is for business and one for personal use. No need to swap SIM cards. I prefer my P990 for business and M600/W950 for the weekend (just divert call from one SIM to the other).

I use a cheap backup phone quite often partly because it looks nicer. If you want anything with bright colours you're screwed as far as smartphones/PDAs go, they're all grey, black or white. And then there's definitely the "what if something happens to it" factor as well.
