I can't understand why you would go to the expense of developing a phone like these and not make them capable of (really) working in the US.  <br><br>When the m600 came out, there was nothing else this small with these capabilities in the US.  Now, Blackberry/Rim, Samsung and HTC have brought out phones with a similar form factor (and done very well with them).  It seems like they missed a major opportunity.<br><br>The way the Moto Rokr E6 can be changed in the settings to handle the 850 band and EDGE makes me think it should be the easiest thing in the world for a manufacturer.  <br><br>Is UMTS/HSDPA that different from that?  Does the hardware have to be different to work with different bands?  Does the difference between how the Europeans and ATT handle upload/download band usage mean different hardware is required?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott Alperin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2007 3:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was drooling over this until I saw that it excluded U.S. 3G and EDGE. Then I realized it was not even quad-band. I can't even begin to describe my disappointment. The wailing and gnashing of teeth was audible up and down the block. Yet another mystery to me is the keyboard. Why not just license SureType from RIM? It works well on the Pearl Blackberry model and almost certainly would be better than introducing yet another hybrid keyboard design, one that seems to me to be poorly conceived IMHO. There is just too much missing from this model to consider it a flagship mobile. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rseijas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2007 8:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[sweet! i've missed my sony's since i got a tytn... this might bring me back into the fold. i've still got an r380 which i use sometimes to get laughed at in the pub by 'those that don't understand']]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shapey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2007 4:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is a shame that the P1 isn't available in a version which supports GSM 850.  I had a P910a, which ran 850 and EDGE, and it was the best phone I have ever had.  The 910a was never picked up by any US carriers and I think that the customization the US carriers want is probably cost prohibitive for SE in the big picture. SE seem to be disappearing from the US altogether as it seems ATT no-longer offers them (perhaps something to do with Walkman vs. iPhone).<br><br>I must say though, that of all the phones I have had (MOT, NOK, SE, HTC) the SE's have been, by far, the best.  I hope they come back to the US with a P1a very soon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2007 12:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can understand US customer's dissapointment about EDGE etc, but the comments on the keyboard are well wide of the mark.  License Suretype??  Forget that!  Having used the M600 for the last year, I can tell you that SE's alternative is vastly superior.  Yes it takes a day or two to get used to it (initially your brain assumes its a standard phone keypad, that's why letters appear to be "in the wrong place") but once in full flow you get the real benefit of a full qwerty keyboard in a very comfortable package.  Much faster and more accurate than any predictive system (although it incorporates an optional level of prediction too).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 8:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[I need to get a music player. Would this be worth it if I were to get it for primarily a 4gb music player (considering the battery, etc). I would use it also for 3.2mp camera, and maybe calender???

The options are great, but i noticed that the key board is really hard to text on, it's harder than any phone I have used before this.<br><br>Furthermore did anyone notice that there is no indicator to differentiate between read text messages and unread messages in the inbox????<br><br>There isn't any indicator to show replied texts either! What's with these shortcomings? (My W810 showed replied and read texts very clearly!)<br><br>Someone please tell me that I am wrong and that we can indeed know which texts were read and which weren't! All texts have closed 'envelope' symbols!<br><br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Chris ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 11th 2007 3:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson P1i]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/20/hands-on-with-the-sony-ericsson-p1i/</guid><description><![CDATA[You must be blind not to notice that one is bold and one is not.<br><br>Keyboard is a love-it-or-hate-it relationship.  i was lucky to love mine.<br><br>but that said, i still miss my treo over this.  texting over that was such a joy, especially with chat-style threads.  and finding contacts on treo was much better too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[yelohbird]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2007 12:55PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
