As for the sealed unit thing, its not a terrible thing, manufacturers choice etc. Not one for carrying spare batteries, but also not for one getting devices with poor batteries.

Looks like all the planes I go on are cheap skate airlines, not seen any usb points, i think emirates had plug sockets next to the TV but they were 110v and a funny shape. City jet out of london city is supposed to be for business, nothing on there either

I always carry 2 batterys for my laptop and 2 for my phone. but if they have started adding usb points great! its about bloody time

I gave up on SE phones after my k850 (same internals as 902) liked the k800 but the k850 used to lock up and switch off till it eventually suffered the BROD failure and I had to reflash it. Reliability improved after that but it was still very laggy and wasn't as user friendly as the earlier SE phones.

Fancied an Android phone and after lots of looking/research I was going to buy the Acer liquid as a Christmas present for myself - but it only launched mid December and I wasn't prepared to fork out £350 on a new model without any proper reviews.

T Mobile came to the rescue when they knocked 33% of all payg phones for a day in mid December.
Bought myself one of these for £100 to try out an Android phone.

T-Mobile Pulse review, buy link + in-box DVD download - Android @ MoDaCo

Two weeks in and I've unlocked it, installed a custom ROM and now got all the widgets and tools I'll ever need.

See some of the screenshots in this thread

Very impressed for a phone that cost £100 - wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS.
Camera is apparently poor indoors but that's a small price to play for a toy like this.

Now looking forward to Android V2.0 and the free Google satnav
