Does everyone has to copy the RAZR design nowadays? I mean, Nokia and Samsung did it; and now also SE? Of all the mobile phone makers, SE is the very least I am expecting to copy design from others.

you must open your eyes more. How on earth is that even a "copy" of the RAZR design? It's not even like the RAZR2 design as well.

well...although its not a carbon copy of the RAZR...i wouldn't say that its nothing like the RAZR...
Specs wise, yes it makes all the RAZR and RAZR2s look like plastic trash that Motorola makes everyday...but RAZR was the first phone to be ever made that slim and has made great success...therefore the phone companies now use the "slimness" of the RAZR to market their own cellphones....

U wrote that it has a 3,2 mpx camera with AF. Now thats not true. The only walkman phone that SE released with AF was w810i(or maybe also w960i but Im not sure). They do this to make u chose between C-S and walkman(ahhh the politics...).

Right, I see. So every clamshell phone is now a RAZR knockoff? Please.

For a start if it were a RAZR knockoff they'd have to install a crap UI and make sure it couldn't hold a call for longer than 30 seconds

It looks pretty good to me, I'm not sure about the clear plastic though, presumably that runs over the entire front, looks like a scratch magnet to me.
