Mobile phone round-up

As someone who used to work in the mobile retail sector I feel your pain over the bluetooth headset. I don't think there is a single headset on the market that works flawlessly, just some work better than others. Normal advice is get the same brand headset as phone, but with smartphones thats almost never possible. In that case, I've found Sony Ericsson ones to be pretty good.

Very tempted by the HTC Touch myself, although the Sony Ericsson P1 looks like it'll be very nice as well (admittedly not windows mobile, but does have exchange active sync)

I think I'd personally be more tempted by the Sony Ericsson, which typically has a more flexible multimedia section, not to mention the good old Cyber-shot camera, which is extremely reliable.

Bluetooth headsets, incidentally, are cursed things. I much prefer a wired connection, as this is more robust, and somehow comforting.

Hmmm. Questions I'd have about the sony are how well does it integreate with Exchange, can I just drag music, video and recorded TV I have in Windows media player straight to it.

I've been quite pleased with the improved camera on the E650 (HTC Vox) but I'd expect the Sony to be better.
