i read a lot of content on my phone so the twist was one of the major
reasons to go for it rather than the w21s (like, i can read web etc.
with the phone folded, which is nice). i wish the side buttons were
easier to use though.

i usually carry my digicam, but in cases when i dont its always ok as a
backup. however, i have issues with how the camera is located. the lens
is located in the corner, just where the strap hole is, making it quite
difficult to take pictures with one hand (when you have it folded)
without getting ur fingers or strap or both in front of the lens. :/
the radio is great though. i doubt ill use it on the move (always carry
mp3 player), but as you can listen though the speaker it seems good for
those days you chill in the park with friends and need some background
noise.

yeah, this has always bugged me with the sony products i have. to make
things worse sony has a tendency to come up with multiple variants of
memory sticks etc (like, my aibo has a special pink memorystick and
refuses to read the normal blue ones).

you can do that. like, if i write a mail i can write the word, highlight
it, look it up on the dictionary and choose "insert" or "replace" for
instans and it pops right into your content - which is really great. the
ocr, while interesting, it only reads ro-maji and is therefore somewhat
useless for me as i would rather have a ocr dictionary for those times i
encounter kanjis i dont remember (which is like _all_ the time).
one thing i wish i had from the sony is the jog-wheel. and i guess the
sony has proper english dialogs, etc.
