a similar concept was applied to a minidisc player years and years ago

@xumdeo
Which concept? Do you mean being able to view track information away from the main device?

About GSM Association
Founded in 1987, The GSM Association (GSMA) is a global trade association representing over 700 GSM mobile phone operators across 218 countries of the world. In addition, more than 200 manufacturers and suppliers support the Association’s initiatives as associate members.
The primary goals of the GSMA are to ensure mobile phones and wireless services work globally and are easily accessible, enhancing their value to individual customers and national economies, while creating new business opportunities for operators and their suppliers. The Association's members serve more than 2 billion customers – over 82% of the world's mobile phone users.
The GSMA plays a pivotal role in the development of the GSM platform and the global wireless industry. Much of the GSMA's work is focused on two areas: Emerging services and emerging markets. The GSMA helps its members develop and launch new services, ranging from mobile instant messaging to video sharing to mobile Internet access, which will work across networks and across national boundaries. At the same time, the GSMA is heavily engaged in the industry’s push to extend basic voice and text services to more people in emerging markets.
GSM is an evolving wireless communications standard that already offers an extensive and feature-rich 'family' of voice and data services. The GSM family of technologies consists of today's GSM, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) and third generation GSM services (3GSM) based on W-CDMA and HSDPA access technologies. Together these technologies underpin the GSM platform.
The GSM Association's Board comprises top-level representatives of some of the world's leading mobile operators, such as Cingular Wireless, China Mobile, Orange, Telefonica Moviles, T-Mobile and Vodafone.

But here's a contribution:
- Three bluetooth watches will be announced on the 14th of June. All three will be slightly smaller than the original MWB-100. One will be Walkman branded (with presumably an ability to display track details), and the others are generic watches. Two of the watches will have leather straps, one will have a metal band. All three will be able to skip tracks, pause tracks, and adjust the volume. One of the watches will be named MWB-150.
Now please dunn tell me that they are only gonna release 3 new watches and not new phones!!

As far as we know phones will also be announced,not just the watches!

if true I think we cant see sofia and mooi ...any idea?
Posted by tomasz.luch
Omg, is somebody reading carefully this topic???
Yeah, 3 bt watches and none of the phones... ever. SE stops producing phones and becomes watches and toys for kids manufacturer.
Come on. Read something first. It was before said that there will be some phones announced. How many - we don't know, but there will.
Cheers
Posted by mazi

Doesn't agree.
Come on guys, don't be skeptical...
SE usually announces accessories along with the main products, i.e. mobile phones. That's what I believe.
Posted by JC08
Oh come on people the watches are part of the accessories to be announced just be patient and open ur eyes
Posted by Wishmaster89
I they were going to announce only those 3 watches they wouldn't write on the invitation about phones. Wouldn't they

People, people,
you could have read a few pages back, on the leaflet SE sent to invite journalist to their events that they were going to unveil new PHONES, new accessories (WATCHES, but there could be more like headsets, etc...) and new applications.
Don't start panicking again.
Everybody chill.
PS. has anyone seen the S500 in store yet in Europe?
Here is another accessory; might be a boombox to plug your phone

Please don't post in the thread if you have not read at least the most recent posts. This goes not only for mazi but for everyone.
It seems pretty certain to me that Shinobu and Sofia (and possibly also a W950 successor) will be announced.
Posted by SkaPete
That Box looks interesting! I was hoping JUSTAMP would have more info but no! Any ideas where it came from? And also it looks quite similar to the box on the timemastersIII page. AND is that Sofia in the left of the photo behind the box??
And can people please read the post before making stupid comments like 'SE are only gonna announce watches??zomg rly?'

is it just me or if you look closely on the other end of the box you see the back side of a phone with a xenon flash and a circular sliver thing which they use as mirrors in camera phones for self portrait.Dare i say it could it be a walkman phone with a xenon flash and better camera? Look closely what do you guys think

calm before the storm, i love euro announcements cuz all i have to do is wake up! muahahaha.
well everyone its been a rough ardous ride, hopefully we can enter phase 2 tmw.
so this instant all we know is that there will be phones announced, and theres speculation with nothing confirmed about the 5mp camera-phone. im personally throwing everything i "know" out the window, and just going to asses what were given in the next few hours.

Posted by prototype_bo
"hopefully i'll get a decent response on this one.."
Fellow members, as the announcement is hours away now, and based on previous experience (last announcement actually), Masseur closed temporarily this thread. can someone please tell us, where all the announcement info would be?
thanks in advance.
Posted by mazi
less than 24 hours....

I wonder what SE thinks about these bluetooth watches. Is there a market for them?
I personally would never wear an ugly watch for the sake of musical compliance. Nor would I wear a watch made by Sony Ericsson. What price point are these expected to be in? What target audience are they shooting at?
Did the last one sell at all?
Posted by sidneylopsides
Oddly, this is one of the few watches I actually like the style of!
They are made by Fossil, not SE
And yep, quite a few have sold as far as I can tell. This is the longest I've kept a watch.
Posted by Hurst
Fossil
Posted by makbil
Th current bt watch is not compatible with P990. Perhaps the new ones are? It's time SE started getting some things right...
Posted by Marc_SE
@remirez
I'm out in Madrid currently, but haven't seen the S500i anywhere. Asked in a few shops, but no-one knows about it.
Posted by Bambino

Tick Tock SE were waiting anxiously.....
And yes we know you read this thread so get a move on lol
Posted by DonJuan
its 5pm uk time right?
so that means i can go to sleep and then wake up and the phones will be announced
Posted by Ridahz
Dont know when the announcement is mate but right now its 2.29am. Lol
Posted by shaliron
@prototype_bo
Well, last time, people continued to comment about the released phones in this thread, which scattered all the talk about the T650 or P1i all over the place. It was locked temporarily to make sure people posted in the correct threads.
But normally there isn't one thread for announcement info, just a number of threads dedicated to each phone.
@Ridahz
Only 23 hours away according to this: http://www.sonyericsson.com/timemasters3/
And as it stands, this is what's going to be announced:
- Sofia
- Shinobu
- Mooi
- Anastasia
- Maybe a fifth phone
- Bluetooth headset (HBH-DS200)
- Three bluetooth watches
Quite a big announcement IMO.
Posted by Ridahz
Sounds promising @ Shaliron hopefully we shall see pics of the beautiful Sofia at last Wooooooo!
23 Hours though wont that make it the 15th of June at 1.42am?
Lol
EDIT: 5PM Uk time ill be waiting

Nope mate 14hours 12minutes lol

@Ridahz
What does it say on your clock? My timemasters3 clock says 23 hours, but perhaps that's because I'm in a different region.
I know that there is an announcement for the Asia-Pacific region on June 15 (in the morning) so that they can show the phones around this part of the world.
Posted by rss_ndrsn
well, i live in canada and it says 6 hours more left. i'm using Pacific time zone.
It's now 4:oo am in Berlin

Posted by Hurst
mine says 9 hrs, which is a bit early, if its 5pm UK...that's more like noon UK
Posted by Ridahz
Mine says 14hours Shaliron?
Hope the announcement is about noon though thats when i will be selling my P990i to merc_man haha
Posted by bodeh6
I am in the Eastern Time Zone of the USA (ie Detroit, New York) and it was 9 hours from now. That pegs it at 7AM Eastern Time, 1PM Berlin time. Now the invitation said 6:30PM Berlin time. Some peoples are reporting the clock is set 6-7 hours more in some time zones.
Who knows exactly what time it will be announced.
Posted by shaliron
Hmm, I guess it is region dependent on what it shows on the timemasters teaser.
6 hours sounds right though. SE normally has its announcements at around 6:30-7:30PM my time, which is around 6-7 hours away.
Let's just say within 12 hours
But I reckon the phones will be announced by the time the Berlin event begins. The Berlin event must be for trying the recently announced phones, it won't be used to announce the phones.
