I think it looks quite good. I cant see SE using that name though. If it was a prototype then it would have i girls name as well.
Posted by masseur
here is a direct link to the page for this
I guess if anyone can read the chinese they can possibly shed some more light but the fact that some of the other pics compare it with a black T630 suggests it might be quite an old pic although the camera resolution seems to contradict that
Posted by bart
it looks quite cool, the front also looks like its got an aluminium cover like on the good old T610
the back side doesn't look that nice, but thats just me
SE123 could be a proto name or a special edition phone for china (but then why are their no extra marks on the keys like on the T63x)
maby this is an upcomming low end clamshell phone for the year 2007

Incredible - the thing actually looks good! And hope the aluminium bit is real, and not a finished bit of plastic like it was on the K700
(The fone somewhat resembles the LG C5400 though)

Mmm strange name fore a SonyEricsson Phone. SE123? I would have expected something more in the line of Z123 or Z400 (as it is a 1.3 MP cam).
Posted by Xugaa
i don't actually like it at all, but other people do, so it must be good

It looks a LOT like the old NEC flip when open.
Posted by Vein
Definitely some kind of DoCoMo influenced design. Even some Sharp 703 shoved in there.
Posted by jeko.uk
it looks ok are there two speakers above the gray buttons on the keypad

Yeah, I was thinking that as well, wrt the NEC e338.
Posted by jcwhite_uk
The aluminium part looks K700i and the keypad looks S700i to me.
Posted by bart
isn't their anybody here who can translate it?

nice outer housing...
Posted by c96sthl
the hinge look to motorola iDEN or Panasonic.....
not really nice in my opinion....well this is personal preference
since I prefer clean line approach
Posted by victorh017
I actually like it, specially because it has a 1.3mp camera. That VGA cam of the Z530/W300 is definitely keeping me from buying one of them...

you have to think tiwce on this statement
i have a z520 and a w550
no matter how i compare...i just don't like w550 camera quality
the exposure cannot be controlled....plus the shuttle speed is slow and all the picture is not sharp as z520
yes w550 come with light assist but it is no where near the quality of z520
of course both phone cannot beat W800/k750 for camera quality
the number of megapixel didn't mean a lot when the phone don't have auto focus/ exposure control/ macro mode/ image stabiliser and real flash.
hehehe this mean K790/K800

The design of the SE123 and it's features seem to be a year old. For one the keypad looks at least two years old (S700). Also the features (which we got) look very old....1.3mp cam, I mean how are they going to sell a phone with 1.3mp cam?
Posted by Super G
Looks ordinary. Nothing special. Not a head-turner at all. Dull & boring
Posted by jepherberich
i guess it's OK design-wise, but not definitive of
. otoh, the k510 and k310 dont look very as well. oh the glory days of the T610.
it's a proto though, and the jing/mulan protos looked sh*tty as well. good thing they decided to put that dotted bedding & juicy walkman logo on the w300 cos that was real nice.
the keypad is a completely different story though.. z520 anyone?
Posted by shaliron
Looks better than quite a few of the flips that SE has created, though I think it looks dull on the inside though. Thing is, is that there's an activity button on the bottom left hand corner so that could mean that it really isn't that old. Like the brushed metal too...
Posted by Cytech
if I understood the rather weird translation babelfish did, it's a model
supporting the new M2 memorycard
other then that, the article basically only describes the design in comparison to other models... as already mentioned it's a low end phone

allright,i think i had better luck with translation,
Its code named "lily magnolia".
"This mysterious aircraft in the panels and screens are being installed, identified with the "SE123" message. This mark is clearly incompatible with the relevant named Said mobile phone rules may be seen as an internal R & D numbers, and now we believe to be "SE123" This mysterious as the generation that type."
"SE123" wimple wimple form style with the newly released mobile phone Z530c completely different, metal panels and back wiredrawing style batteries are designed and built in 2004 by the flagship Said Zhiban type K700c some 22.7%. And Wai Ping design is typical of a mobile phone style fold, and now the big screen design concepts to Wai Ping.
1.3 million pixels the camera was first installed in Airframe positive, and other mobile phone Said, "SE123" first support four times digital zoom camera functions. Induction class, or as a low end mobile phone models, "SE123" obviously does not have the automatic autofocus shooting professional functions.
From the current disposal situation, and Z530c This mysterious new machine is more similar in function, such as support for the latest M2 (Memory Stick Micro) micro memory sticks, and there are more mature shape. At a recent conference victory Z530c domestic listing, PConline understand that there are several research and development centers in China Said models are developed process, then type "SE123" will be a new China research and development centers also have been a masterpiece? PConline mobile phone channel would continue to pay attention to the mysterious aircraft type, please refer to our follow-up reports.
Some doesnt make sense ,nonethless we can understand a few more things.

Read somewhere that there will be two press conferences in May on the 11th and 18th where the Handycam and possibly this phone may be announced. Fingers crossed. Although, now that I think of it more, this phone looks too old to be ready to be released. The circle thing and the aluminium look too much like the K700 and the fact that this was put next too a T630...
Posted by MobileBear
This phone is the new Z550i!
I saw a proto of the Z550i today, and it looked almost exactly the same, but it was copper-colord where the Z123 is grey, and white where the Z123 is black.
Posted by amawanqa
Ah, the plot thickens.
Thanks for the info and drawing in the other thread too, MobileBear.
Posted by Vein
Yeah thanks very much
Posted by shaliron
I'd say specs like 176x220 65k or 256k screen, and mostly what has been said earlier. Could have similar specs to the Z800 minus 3G.
Posted by goldenface
Nice phone.
Photoshop anyone?
Does anyone still think there is a huge demand for clamshells?
Posted by shaliron
Clamshells will always be in demand but at the moment people want sliders more. Sliders are 'sexier'. Clamshells are 'clunky', unless of course they're super slim.
Posted by goldenface
It seems to me that just as soon as
manages to release a few clams, other companies are releasing good sliders, lg, samsung, nokia all have a stud of sliders in their line up.
By the time
releases a slider something else will be all the rage.
If they are going for market share as they say they are then they need to step up a gear.
[Sorry for going off slightly off topic

Posted by shyam335
Indeed,although offtopic thats a relevant point.
One thing i would like to see is (but probably wont happen) to place uiq3 aggresively against s60 and release high-mid end phones.

lol u silly bunch the chinese simply says PConline in chinese
Posted by deuxani
@ MobileBear.... with copper colored you mean a color like this: http://www.awardlighting.com/[....]p%20-%20natural%20copper.jpg?!
or this:
I hope not.
Posted by MobileBear
@ deuxani
The copper is like the first example. (NOT the ugly K750 copper-style)
Posted by deuxani
That's good to hear hehehe. Because the K750i looks like mud.
But this copper... is it close to orange... as in looking like a Walkman handset or really coppercopper?!
Very weird color... I'll just hope that there will be some nice white phones!! (Yes I'm addicted to white phones)
Posted by MobileBear
Itīs "coppercopper".
Not "orange" like the Walkman-phones.
I think the Z550 looked really good in reality actually.
Posted by deuxani
You were completely right.
