The Xperia will be the most expensive of the three. No carriers are likely to pick up such a high end device especially when most SE phones are being sold unlocked and this one with an estimated price of $1k.

The 3G iphone will be a big hit especially when you can download songs at 3G speed with the built in itune store. You no longer need wifi to be able to download a song or wait days for it to be downloaded on EDGE. Yes, it has its gimmicks, but so does every other phone out there.

The Bold will do very well with its current base. However, its form will be a bit of a let down to many consumers especially ones that care about form over function. Thats why, I see a lot more pearls and curves than the 88xx series. Yes, it has GPS, wifi, AND a cam, but again, the size and girth will be a major turn off.

I for one, am looking forward to the Bold which will replace my current 8820. I prefer big phones that makes it easier to grasp and hold when making a call. Thin is good but only to a point. There will be a point where something thats so thin that it just isn't practical or comfortable to hold anymore.
