lol. That is as silly as saying why do sony vaio's come packaged with vista.

Regardless i am going to buy it. Anyone have any clue on the msrp? I currently bought a useless phone and i am under contract so i won't be looking to buy it unlocked. Hopefully it won't be to expensive but this is my next phone. Sony ericsson makes the best phones imo

MS and Sony are not fanboys.

MS and sony are big companys, they fight on one front and team up on another.

I hate windows mobile! maybe they should incorporate the RIM system into their phones or even NOkia's are the most user friendly.

You "hate" anything made by MS. Take it to the open zone >

Oh, and RIM doesnt license their OS.
