Sony Ericsson W890i Black Cell Phone

The big switch: I'm done with the Nokia N82 and on to the SE W890i

Well, that didn't take long. My big switch away from the iPhone to the Nokia N82 as my daily cell?  I think I'm over it.  In part I have to blame the post-CTIA deluge of new devices that have come into the PhoneDog office over the past few weeks.  With so many new phones to try out, how can I limit myself to just one (I'm happily married, so being polygamous with gadgets is my vice)?
