Sony Ericsson T637
Usability vs. T300?
I have a SE T300 and it's the worst phone on earth from a usability standpoint. Is this phone any better?
My specific bitch-list for the T300 -- Are these fixed for this theT637?
- Is there a missed call and message indicator light?

- the only delays i experience which i find annoying are within themes and sms. when selecting a new theme the handset takes a bit of time to "install" but this function is used rarely, so this is not a reasonable gripe for me. when using T9, the SE interface for word selection is wretchedly funky when compared to NOKIA and MOTO. it is not a bad delay, but if you are used to the...
