kewl phone.....the SE design is really something...

i share your concerns about the outer surface getting smudged and scratched....looks too shiny to be easily maintained

humbly tho, dont think this is the first clamshell walkman....think there were a few before this.....the w710 for instance?

yeah...think you are right....this is the 3rd...there was some w3 something released a few months ago....
first launches are always overpriced.....its the price you pay to be the first to own something....what u migh call bragging rights

then after a few months, prices will stabilize....wait till then...if ur not in a rush...just wait awhile...its not like u need a phone tomorrow...

nice looking phone but 2k for this? its a bit pricey dont u think.....dont know how many of these they are going to sell....i dont know which market they are targeting but i would say 1.5k would be a reasonable price to start.

But i could be wrong tho.....perhaps SE has die hard fans who would jump at the first opportunity to buy a flip walkman......
