Now Sony Ericsson have entered the fray with their offering. Instead of their piss-poor hugely [...]

I’m looking forward to meeting the Sony Ericsson chaps. Whilst they make some really good handsets, I’m thoroughly depressed by their lack of perceived innovation.

What will it take to get the mobile community excited about a Sony Ericsson device?
Steve Jobs announcing a 100% acquisition, perhaps.
