a mistress and a frigid lady

I know that the iPhone is one of the coolest gadgets around, and after weeks of agonizing over it I finally decided to take it for a spin. A test drive that's more like a crash test. Three days and I gave up on it.

Frankly, what does not work for me is the lack of openness and interoperability. It's like wearing a straightjacket. It might be cool on the outside but the iPhone is one frigid lady I can sleep without.

It's good, therefore, that the Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson is out in the market. Soon as I opened the box I knew I made the right choice.

I've known for a while now that Sony Ericsson makes the best smartphones, ever, with the Symbian OS at the heart of its previous models. However, for the X1 it's Windows Mobile 6.1. While not a fan of Microsoft, it's not so bad. I just wonder how much better the X1 could be with Symbian?

The X1. It's like coming home to a mistress when you're not even married.
