What do you expect its tacky looking for teenagers and has no 3G. No excuse not putting in 3G these days.

I for one want it, depending how much it will cost.
Well done SE the Aspen was a big fault ruined totally by the WM 6.1 or more correctly by MS and there wish to corner the user/customer to their services (read: Bing and Hotmail).

Lacking 3G is just one of shortcoming but it got WLAN and can connect to hotspots downtown and to home networks
Don't know about foreign countries but here in Sweden 3G(HDSPA) is a quit expensive add-on to contracts.

Are there any one on Esato that have the Nokia counterpart (don't remember it's name). For a while I planned to make that phone my first Nokia (phew, no needs for that now).

Ed: Holy S**t SE doesn't seems to bring it to Sweden, to Finland but not Sweden. Just yet another touch screen phone called Txt Pro. Hope it's just the web page isn't updated due to midsummer celebrations (an important holiday here).

Want a white one

It's the Nokia c3 which was the same as this. Had nice design but slow in use. It has S40 interface which has no multi tasking. This will appeal to teens. I love the qwerty phones but the sort of expensive Nokia range like the E range.

Still no sign of the SE Txt at SonyEricsson Sweden why?

It's at the SE Norwegian and Finland websites but not SE Sweden.
I really want to try out the SE Txt (and only the white one).

No Problem Norwegian is easy to understand (for swedish speaking) and if it marketed in Finland it will most probably have a swedish too (Even if the swedish, in Finland is quite hard to understand).
