i'm thinking of buying a new phone since my ehem2 has been approved. anyway, that's the purpose. but i'm caught in between. i love both phones. i don't know which one to choose. both were great. i love sony ericsson, and frankly, i hate nokia. but nokia n97 is the best currently in the market. it's way too hard to not fall in love......

but at the same time, sony ericsson xperia has been stolen my heart far too long. it was my first crush.


let me browse through the spec first.........
