I originally wanted the M600i but the features vs price point don't make it very ideal. plus, it's quite a lot of complains of being slow from early adopters.

The W950 is also pretty darn cool since it's on the same form factor as the M600i and it runs Symbian OS with UIQ3 interface. Very cool phone packed with great features and even comes with 4GB of RAM. unfortunately.. it's not yet released and it's going to be really expensive. I expect it to be around RM2K at least.

The W850i is also pretty cool being a slider phone. Nice big LCD with 3G network capability (if you use it)

But I'll just settle for the W810i heh

I've always noted the superior battery life of Sony products. Maybe they just focus a lot on power optimizations.

Hmm.. This Motorola phone also has poor battery life. Even a much older Samsung mobile phone has much longer battery life than my phone.
i have been using SE t630 for almost 2 years d, now the battery life is still good, for normal use right, i only recharge every 2-3 days, sometimes even 4 days. Long lifespan indeed.

Actually to be fair, my Nokia 6610 is 2.5 years old already but for heavy usage the battery can go for 3-5 days without charging, and low usage about 1 week.

Exactly!! Sony's famous for long battery life. I am using a Sony PDA and it really has a fantastic battery life.
