"With UIQ 3.3 in the cards, this could be the phone that finally takes the 'other' Symbian platform from niche to glamor and glory..."
I highly doubt that. Perhaps from niche to....less-niche, but with all the hyped of platforms being released--well, really only Android that I can currently think of--in addition to the pre-existing ones--WinMo, the Symbian we care about, OSX for the iPhone--this one isn't gonna get any major glory. For one, it's not being released on a highly-anticipated phone--WinMo & Xperia FTW--and, let's be honest here, SE's Walkman phones are more functional than their smartphones. I honestly don't know anyone who has a SE smartphone.
I've known people who liked their P1 enough to buy another for their relative etc... They're definitely great devices, very functional OS, but lacks the 3rd party support of WinMo or the popularity of S60.
