To the normal consumer an iPhone will always be an iPhone, wether or not it's 3G
The bit most people are looking for is the storage because they want to use it as an mp3 player
The BOLD is a good looking phone and will no doubt be embraced by those wanting the QWERTY blackberry experience. Match that with 4.6 and youve got an amazing new blackberry.
As for the XPeria, well i hadnt heard of it before, but i just looked it up and i have to say, well done Sony Ericsson! A great looking device with a lot of promise, despite the keyboard looking like its from one of those super cheap personal organisers.

I personally think though (and it pains me to say this) that the iPhone will continue to be a top seller, especially over here in the UK. Its not because of its functionality, it's the little gimmicks, like the pinch zoom thing and the way the screen rotates based on how youre holding it.

Done.
