No chance. Too thick, and ugly to boot.

Quite possibly. It's the lightest of the lot (15g lighter than the
P505i!), and though I hated the UI of my old Fujitsu when I first
switched from Panasonic, certain things about it really grew on me.
The biggest one was a separate "make a small character" key rather
than looping through big then small on the same button. This speeds
up English input enormously.

Also rather thick, and I don't see anything special about it.

Love the button to automatically pop open the lid, and the other
Panasonics I've looked at before felt good. Also a nice UI. Plus,
you can get it in red! But it's got fewer colours on the display,
and the camera is not megapixel. Hmmmmm...

Not much different from the Fujitsu, from the looks of it. No
fingerprint reader, but it does have this "Assist View" thing that
lets you look at your schedule or phonebook or whatever no matter
where you are, and then easily get back to where you were browsing
the web or composing mail or whatever. But I want PalmOS-type
switching of apps: leave one for another at any time, and come back
right where you left off.

Wow, man, what did these guys think they were building? A T-72 tank?
I guess in terms of cost it's going to be a good deal, since for
both size and weight you're getting 50% more phone.
