Posted by icaka

Posted by alexlt
I doubt it have the back button if it's going to have End/Call buttons. I think it will for activity menu ...
I agree, I don't think it's ugly just a litlle simple
Posted by soane28
Simple? are you serious? look at that keypad! I dont think they could possibly put anymore keys, symbols etc on it!
Posted by >500
phone will of course look different when announced....

I don't think the camera symbols are iluminated all the time, besides I just talking about the design of all the phone, there's nothing too odd or outstanding, and of course all of this is IMO
Posted by DonJuan
The only thing that bothers me is the position of the buttons the 5 is a liittle lower than the 4 and 6 when texting do you think that this will have an effect

Agree, the wider and larger screen tell us that it will have the UIQ, specifically the UIQ non touchscreen OS (UIQ 3.1) will be utilized on this phone, it will be more interesting if that happens! AFAIK UIQ 3 improves the softkey configuration shortcuts and that's what i can discern with the three small keys near the display just like the RIZR Z8.
the design in official pictures looks better than the rumor pics posted before, it's elegant, sleek like the S500.
Posted by DonJuan
it looks cool when its lit up, im excited to see the back
Posted by alexlt
Something like this??
Posted by DonJuan
lol where did you get that from

Posted by alexlt
It's a photoshop made by Deuxani and thecoolsha (obviously) when the first spypics appeared a long time ago ....
And it looks so much better to me than that K810 photoshoped version
Posted by DonJuan
cool those ppl are talented
i just found that other picture online
Posted by Diffused
That K810 photoshop looks...odd, to say the least. It looks as if the part that contains the softkeys is detachable.

About the sofia picture, stop doubting this picture, it is the real deal! What i'm more interested in is if it has uiq3 or the new non-smartphone os that seems very similar to uiq3. Looks extremely cool. Gonna be a huge hit imo.
Posted by >500
how loud is the speaker out of curiosity?

Posted by JC08
I also like th w52s it looks great
Posted by xumdeo
i dont have a decibelmeter but it's as loud as the nokia 6233
and it sounds clearer too
Posted by kokosalaki
white W52s is nice
but the FM transmitter (iTrip like) is just ingenious
I hope Maria will have that

Whats with the call/hang up keys again, I was under the impression these were on phones destined for the US.

Doubt so. It'll just be like switching phones where you'll have to get use to the size of the other keypad. At least it's still in the same order, so the only thing that will have to change in your brain would be the position, that's all.
It's not like the circular keys Nokia had last time.
Posted by kokosalaki
did you see the joystick/scroll pad on the W53s?
wonder if it's any good
Posted by goldenface
I really love the W42S design.

I was talking about Japanese phones from Sony Ericsson and Casio a couple of pages back and asking if there'd be a similar announcement, although probably with fewer phones, from SE Europe/UK.

I think that the blue color in the keypad has to do with photo features that will appear only in photo mode.
