Filed Under (Whats in your hands now) by codetiger on 15-03-2008
About Nirmal: Nirmal from Life Rocks! 2.0. Yes, the title of his blog is Life Rocks! 2.0 which has good meaning in it. Read his comments in this post about Techblogs around. He has a good meaning for the 2.0 connected to the Web 2.0 strategy. He is interested more in Sony Ericsson phones and often joins me in debates with Kanak Bhandari, a Nokia lover from Tecfre.com.
1) What mobile phone do you use currently and are you planning to buy any? (make and model)
Currently I’m using a W700i from Sony Ericsson which I bought 1.5 years back. I’m planning to buy the XPERIA as soon as it comes to market.
2) You use it more for a) phone calls, sms, mms, radio or b) games, applications, internet?
I use my mobile for all the above except MMS, gaming I use very less.
3) List few features in your mobile you cannot live without, and any 3rd party application or games as well.
Music is the most important feature, followed by camera.
4) Whats your background image and theme? and why?
Background image and theme changes every now and then when I get a new theme. I do not stick to any particular theme or wallpaper.
5) Any suggestions on this model? and how much do you rank this phone model out of 5 and why?
Presently I would give only3.5/5 for this model as lot of new features and technology have come in the past 2 year after the model was launched (May 2006). But when I purchased the model, I would give 4/5 for this phone.

Xperia is a good option but seems like its gonna be released next year. long wait Nirmal. I really hope Xperia stand up to the expectations..
.. Sony is not talking anything about Xperia … only rumor market is getting hot.
@Kanak
Oh, is it? Xperia is gonna be released next year? Thats too late.
Yea, it seems like XPERIA will be available only next year, but I’m ready to wait.
@Nirmal, I can understand your interest towards Sony Ericsson.
cheers man…
@kanak,
There is official conformation from Sony that XPERIA will be released later this year. Few websites have started pre-order.

Wow, but how does that pre-order work. how do they predict the cost?
Not sure how they predict the cost, may be with the features and similar phones
oh, that’s just like bidding… I see…
