If it had autofocus i'd prefer it to the c702, but it seems that only cyber-shot will have this privilege (at least it has the light...) so i'll go cyber-shot.....

Please, Sony Ericsson, fix this damn keyboard! No Power Typer can use something as smooth as these sliders' keyboards. I can't feel where one key ends and other begins. The k850i keys are the way to go. A slider with those keys would be perfect.
