I've stopped buying Sony products. They hate their customers. It’s a nice looking phone and all, but it’s Sony. I’ve stopped buying Sony products. They hate their customers.

At first I thought they were only for music (the symbols are all play control stuff) but it turns out that they also act as context-sensitive softbuttons. For example, Josh and I have been exchanging text messages during work regarding the Red Sox being up 11-1 in the bottom of the fourth, and when I get a new message I can use the touch buttons on the front to view and then dismiss the message without ever having to open the phone. Very cool. Oh and don't worry about them getting pressed by accident all day. You have to unlock them by hitting one of the side buttons, which activates them with a 1 or 2 second timeout. They are a very well-done little touch that really adds a lot of polish to the phone. …and as I just discovered the front screen (the small one you can see when it’s closed) is rather useful, since they use the three touch-sensitive buttons well.

With no charging it went from Saturday morning to Sunday evening and still had all bars on the battery meter. And that's with EVDO turned on. I didn't make any calls but either way two days of standby with EVDO and still enough juice to qualify for four bars out of four is pretty good. And sound quality has been the exact same as all my other LG phones, which I've always been happy with. One other thing I didn’t tell you yet about the 8600.
