Better not, they only want to pull my Keitai to my ankles.

My fingers are maybe not pointy enough to use it properly.
Why I go for the P505i:
* It's a flip type (the keys are protected).
* It has a huge keypad, just perfect for my big, unpointy fingers.
* It is flat, much flatter than the others and very ergonomically
shaped, it feels well in the hand.
* It's well balanced.
* It's responsive.
* It has the push button to open it with a click. The fastest
way to access the protected key pad. It's also improved compared to
the P504i, where you need 2 steps to open it fully.
* The push button makes a good janken replacement...who opens
first, doesn't have to pay the round.
* The push button makes a great weapon to get lazy programmers
to work.
* The interface is quite good.
* It has chat mail, just perfect if you have a chatty girlfriend
(like my last one, who wrote me 200 emails a day and expected as
much replies - no joke!).
(Sorry that I kicked you from my chat list, Curt, but you are
somehow no replacement for her. Even you have long hair. Don't sob.)
* You can use different fonts and font sizes.
There are a couple of more reasons, but this is the phone which
I like most as my personal one. It doesn't mean that we don't
buy the others, but more for testing and evaluation reasons than
for own use.
I can not talk for Tom, he seems to be in love with some older
refurbished SO503i and wishes he could turn back the time ;)
If you run, you can go to the Business Show today (until 5pm @ Tokyo
Big Site) to get your fingers on all of them. It's best to choose the
right one for you if you actually try them all.
