"Very nice"  is what I think - closely followed by "when will they 
release a superslim keitai...."

The Sony brand has become synonymous with cheap tat of late - this 
range will provide something seriously desirable for the poor, sad, 
style junkies and move the whole brand upmarket in the eye of the 
consumer. It will also be a target for makers of cheaper knockoffs...

So - 3mm is about as thick as I will tolerate in a phone, Sony - and 
yes, I will pay up to 200,000 for it...
