I quite like the look of this device. It's blocky, 16:9 screen, lots of buttons. I would definitely buy a phone or PDA in this format. Actually I wonder if this could function as a decent PDA? I guess it doesn't have any cameras or GPS, which would be nice to have.

One of the reasons i liked and bought the xperia pro-i was this design style. Unfortunately it has really bad battery life.

I have the Pro-I and I get 3+ days on a charge. Right now it reports 21 hours since 100%, and 3 days left. It's been excellent.

The older Sony Xperia phones look at lot like this, but unfortunately the new ones don’t.
