I think the features are reasonable. I should hope you need security settings, if you're letting them add all the rich-content executables!  Wasn't there a mobile phone exploit found in the wild recently? And if you're carrying *money* in your phone, security is all the more essential. I like the specialization they have for the series - if I were looking to buy a new one, it would be nice to pick one from a strongly distinctive set of features. "That's the camera phone" or "That's the music-playing phone" is a good incentive for people to buy something they want exclusively. Maybe that's just my shopping method talking, but I bought my phone because it was the only FM radio model.  I think, however, that the "Fancier Email" you point out is also a strong draw for this model (The Sanyo A5503SA, which is marketed as a Disney phone with its Mickey icon designs) posted by RickNovember 22, 2004 at 9:02 [ e ]
