I think that M A A Mehkri says right because Linux OS is always a good protector of virus. Window is not. It would be better if Sony Ericsson uses Linux instead of Window, like Nokia does in N810 Internet tablet. One thing we've to see that what type of Antivirus Sony Ericsson does use in Xperia. It would be best option if they use Norton Antivirus (full version) for window mobile.

I think it would have been better if Sony Ericsson had used Linux instead of Windows mobile. The Windows mobile would mean little or no protection from virus.

Overall the phone looks good but by the size details it looks like it would be a challenge to use the keyboard efficiently.
