Squaring off in history – Sony Ericsson vs Nokia touchscreens of the past
Sony Ericsson are well known for having a history of touchscreen mobile phones, right back beyond the days of the P800. The P800, though, was their first mainstream, proper touchscreen mobile phone. And boy what a phone it was, leaving everything around it in the dust. Followed by the P900, the P910 (their best touchscreen phone before the X1 Xperia arrived), the P990 (a massive letdown) and the P1, their range of touchscreen mobile phones has dwindled somewhat over the years. Mind you, Nokia’s never really got off the ground in the first place, with monstrous mobile phones like the 7700 and 7710. Their back-catalogue of touchscreen mobile phones is pretty grim, which is no doubt why the new 5800, their first mainstream touchscreen phone, is such a breath of fresh air.
