Some of you might know I have a P1i and that I am a very huge fan of Sony Ericssons. My P1i is nearly dead soon, the phone is slow, the phone sometimes hangs, the phone can turn off on it's own and the bodywork is coming off. So, I thought why don't I go shopping for a new phone. I have to get a Pay As You Go (prepaid), as I'm not 18 yet. I went to Carphone Warehouse and I immediately wanted this phone as it was cheap, it is a Sony Ericsson, and it suited my needs until I'm able to get a new and better phone in October, when I turn 18. This Sony Ericsson J132 is the cheapest Sony Ericsson available on the market and it is pretty basic. It is the only other Sony Ericsson (apart from the X1), to have a Mini-USB connector for charging and it is only one of three Sony Ericssons to have the 3.5mm jack built-in. It has a 1.5inch colour screen, FM radio, up to 450hrs of standby time, a torchlight, and an alarm clock. It is a dualband phone.
I got this phone on Virgin Mobile as it was the cheapest deal available, and it only cost me £5.00 for the phone and another £10.00 for the SIM Pack, so in total, the whole package was £15.00! What a deal! The SIM pack comes with 300 free text and £10.21 credit on the card. I wouldn't have gotten a phone if I hadn't saw this phone and the deal it was coming with.

My friend from college has a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. At first, I didn't like the phone at all! But after playing with it for 15 minutes or so, I have liked it. But still, I wouldn't have it as a phone, just because I don't really prefer the Nokia S60 interface as well as Nokia phones in general. Back to the 5800, I asked my friend whether I could take some photos of it and he said yea, so I went and took some photos of it.
Inside the case which came with it. The phone and another shot of the case. Back of the phone with the 3.2mps camera with AF and Dual LED Flash. The screen is big at 3.2 inches. The screen looks good. Quite clear and very responsive, however, the auto-rotate is quite annoying. The 3 main buttons on the front of the phone, the Call, the End and the Menu button. The left side of the phone with the SIM Card slot and the Memory Card slot. The right side of the phone with the Camera button, Lock switch and the Volume Up/Down button. The battery is quite big at 1320mAh, it's the Nokia BL-5J battery. Top of the phone with the Power button, Charging port, 3.5mm Headphone jack, and the USB port. The top part of the front of the phone with the forward facing 3G video call camera and the Media Bar touch key.

Sony Ericsson 'Idou' (pronounced as 'I Do', but I tend to call it 'E-Dough'), is a new phone from Sony Ericsson which is due to land in markets around October of this year. This phone was launched at Mobile World Congress 2009 (MWC 2009) in Barcelona last February. It is part of a new group of Sony Ericsson phones labelled under the 'Entertainment Unlimited' category. 'Entertainment Unlimited' is sort of like a mix between the Walkman category and the Cybershot category. This category promises to bring the best of both categories previously mentioned into one and the possibility of adding some gaming experience on top of that.
The 'Idou' is a true iPhone rival to me. And from what I observe from the specsheet, photos and videos provided on the internet, I can say it is much better than an iPhone. Some spec of the 'Idou';
-12.1mps camera with an advanced array of camera features, including Xenon flash, Smile Shutter, and Face Detection. -3.5-inch 16:9 wide full touchscreen display -Wi-Fi -GPS -3G forward facing video camera -Accelerometer -Bluetooth
The OS/UI on this phone is sort of like a mix between the Symbian S60, the Symbian UIQ and Sony Ericsson's Walkman Media menu system. I'm not particularly a fan of the S60 interface, but it should do fine for this phone.
Here is a video showing the UI, courtesy of Noah from phonedog.com;

Here are some pictures of this beauty in black, which I must is looking great so far!;
And here are some pictures of the silver version which was recently spotted and posted onto the net, and this silver one doesn't look too bad either!;
All the info I got are either copied straight from the original website itself or modified a little bit. I do not rights for the pictures and the video and I just got them off these websites,
