Sony have hit a sweet spot with their new W900i

This phone is the functionally what Apple were aiming for with the ROKR but they missed by a long shot.

The highlights:

• 1/2 Gig RAM (expanable with memory sticks)
• 240 x 320 display – the same resolution and colour depth as the new iPod, different orientation
• MP3 player and FM tuner (take note Apple).
• HTML browser, RSS feed reader (sweet!)
• 2 Megapixel camera, with video streaming from the phone – I wonder which video codecs it supports, and can it stream via bluetooth?
• Java MIDP2

The only thing this is missing is 802.11 support but I suppose if you want that you really want to buy a 950i

A bit chunky – 148g, compared to 98g for my trusty t610i (and more than 5mm bigger in each dimension to boot). I’ll have to hold one before making up my mind but I’m nearly sold on the spec alone.
