Ah yes. Seems like my mind's a bit muddy after the break
Posted by >500
i think there should be a new thread created for this phone, as there is a lot of info floating arouund this thread which has nothing to do with its title
lol
Posted by n3o
will the W series have auto focus...in other hand we could flash this one to "w" phone...as we can do from K750->W800...if the spec are similar
Posted by Tehy03
The new Cybershot phone looks real I think!
Posted by >500
i think its safe to say this phone is real

I agree. It would be better if we had the code word for it
No info on the Video resolution on this phone?
Posted by >500
nope, no word on video size....id like to know it too. Id creat a new thread, but i cant be bothered, after typing all this info in here lol....
@goldenface
keep an eye on Se-nse and Mobile Review as there is also info there. Eldar occasioanly comes on to se-nse, and he is on mob review along with MR and others who have good sources....

I can bet that this'll have QCIF video, just like the K800. Two reasons:
-Eldar says it's the K800 with a worse camera.
-It really can't have better videorecording than the K800 can it?

You're probably right.
I think the 2.0mp cam on the K750i is respectable, certainly worthy of the Cybershot brand - IMO.
I would have liked to see the Xenon flash implemented ala K800i.
Seeing how
have named the K800i as the flagship of its imaging phone, the above phone with a 3.2mp cam would be stealing the K800i's thunder.
I am wondering what this new phone will bring to the table as far as new tech is concerned and also, what will it have that the K750i doesn't?
Posted by >500
@goldenface
Eldar says its just k800 with worse cam. So for now it looks as though different design, and maybe differnt internal memory. More info will come soon, and i assume it will be announced at 3gsm today.
Btw, has that event started? I dont know what time it is in singaproe right now, some one tell us if it has?
thanks

Yeah, would've seemed quite logical to me, but then again, it might just be to close in specs to the K800...

Well, SE have been doing for a while (K700>K500), and I can imagine the product line progressing like the
phones. W800 > W550 > W900 > W300 etc.

Main thing is QVGA screen, 3G, D-pad, and web browser button. I also think the build quality is improved. Should be a nice competitor to the 6233.
Posted by goldenface
@3GSM will be going right now.
10 hrs ahead or so they are.
There is no video-calling camera on this phone is there?
Of course that doesn't mean it won't be 3G or have EDGE.
Mobile review will have some coverage of 3GSM I would imagine.
Posted by >500
i looked on 3gsm website, nothing much on there yet, se site also has nothing, YET. Hope there will be soon. Well, guess it has started....

@ads1107
It's in Asia, so it's the same time zone as us
Posted by >500
more or less the same i think, hmm, why isnt there any more rumours
Posted by goldenface
There is something puzzling me about these pics.
If shows the fastport on the side of the handset.
If this is a real phone then how would a handset with the fastport on the side make use of the stands that are available - like the CDS-60?
I can't think why....unless this is a pre production mock up for testing.
Posted by shaliron
It could just lay on its side. Maybe it'll have a special function which allows it to be operated horizontally.
And this could also point to signs of some new accessories. Special ones to suit Cybershot phones, or even just the new generation of SE phones (don't ask me what though)
BTW, the fastport is on the left hand side for those of you who don't know...
Posted by SloopJohnB
really, fast port on the side dont make much sense, even for the headphones. Every time u put your phone with headphones attached to it in you pocket its gonna snap out. Bad design for an outdated phone.
Posted by goldenface
Also, if the
version is coming out then how would it make use of all those nice speaker ports and all that?
Very strange?
Posted by >500
images of the rumoured new 2mp cybershot phone pictured on page 3 here and shown at se-nse.net, have now been removed from the se-nse thread regarding this phone.
SE lawyers must have gotten involved
;-)
Posted by shaliron
@ads1107
Lucky I saved them to my hard drive
Well, as I've already said, I think that the fastport placement has something to do with acessories and more specifically ones for the Cybershot phones. I have no idea what though, but they could just be general accessories as well. Make use of the horizontal screen orientation...
But it could just be to be different.
Posted by >500
Companies just make changes to their products you know people, im sure there is a reason for the fast port being located there
Posted by goldenface
ooooh! the lawyers have had a go at laffen!
are quick these days. At least our quick thinking friend there has saved them onto his hard drive in case of emergencies 
Good stuff!
Who knows what this is to be called? K550i? It won't be a K6XX as they are all 3G.

Well apparently this will be 3G.
a) Competitor to the 6233 which is 3G.
b) And Eldar says it is the K800, with a worse camera.
I'd call it a K650. What do ya think?
Posted by >500
perhaps a 3g phone with out video call, just like 6233?
Posted by shaliron
@ads1107
That's what I've though from the start. They don't want it too similar to the K800, otherwise it would be stealing its thunder. The K650 I think will prove to be pretty popular if they release it soon, because the 6233's going to be pretty old soon.
Posted by >500
i just want to know when the next se announcement is
, that is if there is any more this year
Posted by La mouette
The rumors says that only one new phone will come until the end of 2006, a high end device ...
Posted by goldenface
@shaliron
Probably!
This might not be announced until next year as in an interview recently
said they were planning no other major announcements for this quarter. I am expecting another slew of new handsets in the first 2 months of 2007.
Posted by shaliron
@goldenface
I'd agree that this'll be announced later. Even 'chris' the guy who posted it, said (before the post was deleted) that the K650 was in its beta stage software wise.
But thing is, if it is released next year, it really won't be a competitor to the 6233 anymore, as that'll be old news.
Still, I count at least 6 or 7 mobiles for next year that we already know about. Nice
Posted by goldenface
@shaliron
Jeez, you know more than I do. We only have one codename so far though don't we, isn't that Elena?
Which ones do we have so far? I didn't think it was as much as 7...
Posted by shaliron
@goldenface
OK, I'm just into rumours I guess
Here's my count (quite optimistic):
1. Handycam or slider with a twist.
2. K800 successor. Already in the making. Eldar's confirmed it. Think that it's Elena
3. Moli Touch. Chocolate competitor.
4. 5. Elena and two other Russian code named phones.
7.
mid range slider.
8.
high end flip phone. 3.2 megapixel, and comfirmed by Eldar.
9. Cybershot K650. Recent one.
10. E530. No info.
11. 12. HSDPA phones. Confirmed by Telstra in Australia.
13. Slim SE phone. Confirmed by Mr Sakaguchi.
Wow, actually more than I though
But that's all the reliable stuff. Very nice line up though.
Posted by >500
hmm dunno if Elena will be the new k800i. It is said to have wi-fi, and i do doubt they will put that in the new k800. Eldar did say se are going to have a big year next year, we are expecting some nice goodies
And, in response to the post above about one new high end phone for this year, i dont think that will be any better than k800, its been told the k800 is the 'best' phone from se for the year. Though, we may see some announcement before the end of the year, which could include a possible high end phone for 1st quarter next year.
Atm, it doesnt look like we will get anything with any special features 1st quarter, it seems we are expecting the new cybershot for now and the new
slider both in 1st quarter, nothing 'higher'
Posted by goldenface
@shaliron
Wow! Quite an impressive piece of Intelligence Gathering you have
I think we have before our very eyes the whole 2007 line up
I don't think you've missed anything.
Isn't the K800i successor gonna be announced 07Q1 for release in the Summer?
Lets hope so...
@ads1107
Probably. I think
will be concentrating on padding out its range of Cyber-shot and and that doesn't necessarily mean high-end phones. If it can get away with pushing out an Autofocus 2.0mp as Cyber-shot then it will. The 2.0mp lens will be a lot cheaper than the newer 3.2mp one. Plus it does take a decent snap so why not.

will be announced at 3gsm. And released in may/june. Announcement and release will be like k750/k800i etc....months wise....
Posted by spine6
How about a BRAVIA screen + walkman + cybershot + a PDA = Best phone..... When will it be done??? Maybe in 2020 haha!!!!
Posted by goldenface
Thats a good point!
When will the Bravia screen from the SO903i make its appearance on these shores, with DVB-H bringing it to life.
It wouldn't make sense to have that marvellous screen restricted to the Japanese market. We like big screens here too
though not necessarily large clamshells....
I would like that screen to appear in flip guise.
Posted by >500
@goldenface, copied straight from thread below this
:
this is taken from Mobile Review, statement made by Playdead:
http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=55525
rss_ndrsn asks: "Is SE going to announce a phone similar to what they had announced lately (japanese phone)"
playdead:
"Yes But later and more advanced"
little extra from playdead in regards to announcement of this phone:
"chlettn, can't say much, cause I just don't know, announcement should be as usual before/in 3GSM in february/march
PS: remember SO902iS and k800? The latest is almost exact copy" (features-wise) of the japan model... "
Posted by goldenface
Cool!
3GSM is the week commencing 12 Feb and goiing by past experience
tends to announce a week or two before then - maybe 1st Feb.
The SO903i is pretty advanced though I would be surprised if some of its features find their way onto European phones such as fingerprint and facial recognition.
The video has zoom and image stabilisation so I could imagine that being implemented in the higher end Cyber-shot clam - Z8XX. Pure speculation I know but it helps to build up a picture
Posted by space2
Btw, I was just thinking about the next phone.
... first there was the walkmain series, then a walkman phone with symbian/uiq. Then there is the sybershot phone, ... maybe next will be a cybershot-symbian/uiq3 phone
Posted by goldenface
@space
Well it'll be interesting to see how Symbian and Cyber-shot come together. The W950i is certainly getting good reviews.
Posted by n3o
Eldar has said that his twin Wlakman brother will have WP 2...what do you think it will have aoutofocus?
Guy who posted those pics said that this Cyber-shot is still in the second fase of development...so what are your predictions on when shall we see it...by the end of the year?
Posted by goldenface
@n3o
I would imagine early 2007. 2006 seen something like 14 handsets announced in the first couple of months.
On Autofocus, its hard to tell but probably won't be featured on the:w: version they way things are going.
Posted by shaliron

I can imagine that that is the high end
clamshell. Sounds just like it.
Posted by goldenface
@shaliron
Lets hope it is. The SO903i is ace. Two keypads and two colour screens! Brilliant! Even I would be tempted and I hate clamshells
It would look great with proper
branding on it.
Posted by shaliron
@goldenface
I wonder though, if they'll keep the second keypad. It's already rumoured to have a 'special music dial' instead, and I don't know how two keypads would go down with the masses.
Posted by bavlondon2
Is the SO903 the k810?
Posted by shaliron
No the SO903 is a Japan only SE phone.
Posted by goldenface
He knows that
I think he's asking if the Euro version of the SO903i might be the K800i replacement?
Posted by bavlondon2
yes thats what i meant. Ive seen the rumord specs for the k810 and to be honest it look perfect for what i want.
K800 with better video...Nice
Hopefully if the rumors are true it should be out by the start of q2
