Looks like Sony has decided to strengthen its presence in the PDA segment,
Have a look at this:

yep, that looks good alright. It makes sense to give over as much space as possible to the screen.
You have top laugh a this quote from the article: "The key addition to this new model is a touchscreen"
hmm.. don't SE already have a touchscreen in the P series?

Yes, a PDA's biggest plus is the gaint screen and morever this design looks rocking, hope it dosent end up like the P990i with all its flaws, I guess SE should keep getting Software upgrades for all its P Series, I really felt bad to read all the criticism about P990i, I still think its one of a kind phone......

It looks photoshop imo. Btw whats the green indicator on top right corner??
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Communities at large believe that it could come with WiFi connectivity, 3G network and possibly a 3 megapixel camera.
So they have rumours that
are going to release the P3i with exactly the same specs as the P1i. I think someone has seen the specs for the P1i and then photoshopped their own pics.
Posted by razec
they said that there will be a P-series with flip - as far as i see, the keypad is not a flip one, yet the design trend has become even farther from the traditional P-series with FO/FC mode
It's Fake imho
Posted by Aware
Where did you get that quote from, JC?? Supposed rumour is that it'll have 5mp.....
And Razec, you're spot on, that isn't a flip......
....not my picture, but much closer to current data:
Tada! One(quite possibly removable) flipkeypad, with D-Pad and softkeys and QWERTY......
Best design I've seen so far, anyway....

@Aware;
you haven't notice that it looks like nokia N91? look at the upper portion where as it seems that that part is wider than the bottom part
Posted by Aware
Yes, I have noticed that....could be shadow tho(and I'm not saying it's a perfect scale drawing, I didn't create it).....
.... but it's about the closest match to the data I have on P3, so far...

Hi all,
I thought the true P990 successor isn't going to be due till mid to late 2008 so it can take advantage of Symbian 9.5. I really hope it does come with an up to date spec and a more mature and stable OS.

so it sounds that UIQ 3.0 is already mature and stable based on your judgement

M600 > P1
P990 > P3
So where is the P2?

So genious how do you suppose would be the quickest entry of data in tables or fields or even a long 3+ paragraph email WITHOUT a keypad?!
* man some minds are just too focused! Do you imagine a little stick will be quick and tapping on a screen? HTC Touch has the keypad removed like the p3350 but the bulk of their lineup has full qwerty for a specific reason.

lol i know this is very farfetched and impossible..
but P910 > P2?
i know se probably wont revive uiq2, but if they did it, that would be something to me... i always liked the UIQ2 interface more than the newer one...
oh well... waiting for more info on this phone!

We already know there's an M610 on the way, which is the "true sucessor" to the M600, complete with wifi but no camera - so these M600 -> P1 assumptions are spurious.
What we've seen with the P1 is simply the P990 taking on a new (and popular) form factor, together with enough tweaks to the technology to banish bad memories of the P990. It may well be a stopgap successor to the P990, but it is still a successor - features wise, it has much more in common with the P990 than any of SE's other smartphones.
The P3i will, I believe, be a complimentary line assuming the flagship role from the P1, but not replacing it. They'll be priced quite differently (the P1 already being a lot more affordable than many were expecting), and will make up a new two-tier P series line, alongside the continuing W flagship (the W960i) and the continuing M series (the M610i). All four will be targetting slightly different markets, from the corporate message client, to leisure-oriented home consumer, to professional connected businessperson, to high-end performance pro. Assuming the P3i name is correct, and that will be the next P series announcement, I think it's very unlikely that we'll see a P2 - unless that's what a later update to the P1 becomes.
I'll be buying the P1 when I can regardless of what happens with the P3i; it's more the phone for me.

I really don't know where you got that impression from as that is certainly not what i said as what i said was
"I really hope it does come with an up to date spec and a more mature and stable OS."
Which means IMO that i do not consider the OS to be either mature or particularly stable at this point at this time but 6-9 months you never know SE may just surprise us all. As IMO they failed to do with he P1 that still exhibits some of the P990 problems which you would of thought they would of fixed prior to launch. But of course no problems there really as I'm sure there will be a firmware or two to address these issues because we all know how well that worked in the past year don't we.

Is there any need for a P2? I mean, where's the P920, P930, P940, etc. before making it to P990? Get my point?

let's wait till the end of the year to see what sony ericsson has to say officially about this topic in particular..... a phone with a screen this big would be totally awesome...

Yes, waiting is a virtue
Lets just wait, this phone looks too fake...
Posted by Dups!
Wouldn't mind if it looks like that. That's a fine design IMO! Looks sleek, absolutely beautiful colour and what I WANT most im my next P series phone- a BIG HUGE SCREEN reminiscent of my P910i. Pity it looks suspiciously photoshopped.

But i do believe that they 'll choose black to be tha main colour (maybe vinyl black)
The point is the material....And i hope it will me metal this time not cheap plastic.....
Nice specs.....IF it will be on the market until the 2nd quarter of 2008.....
Hope it will be announced in October!

no them o2 phones and the sidekicks have the keyboard underneath on a slide that would be cool, i mean whats the point in having a great phone that is also good for multimedia when the screen is small because of the keypad you got on it.

There are a lot of people, including myself, who want a flip. You could always take it off if you don't want it...
There are also a lot of people who don't use their phones as an iPod but as a professional device. Hence the different versions to suit different tastes. The "P" series has traditionally been a professional phone/PDA with specific features which have proven themselves over time.

Oh, it's not? So they've chosen to base their latest phone on an unpopular form factor? Righto...
It's funny that you're attempting to chide me on the way I express my opinion, when essentially your argument seems to be "this form factor can't be popular with any other people because I don't like it..."
Of course the reality is that something can be immensely popular without either of us liking it at all...
Posted by bavlondon2
That first image looked somthing like the iphone or more recently Nokias "iphone". Will SE be doing something like that?
Id be quite happy just with a P1i type phone with the following specs.
16Mil colour screen
5mp AF camera
VGA Video
WIFI
HSDPA
Are any of these specs likley for the "p3"?

I totally agree with that. On the other hand, just because SE (or someone else) decides to go with something does not necessarily mean that it is very popular. There are a lot of people who do not like the keyboard of the P1, there are also probably a comparable number who do like it, same goes for the flip.
Anyway, that is why there are different models, so we can choose what we like. I'm just pointing out that it's wrong to assume and impose that one is better than the other.
Granted, the P1 seems to temporarily enjoy a greater popularity because it is the latest toy. So when the P990 successor comes and it blows everything away (assuming it does) should we be saying it has the best form factor? I may, because I like it, you may disagree as you prefer the other and we would both be right.
So, in short, no absolutes, just personal opinions and everyone should be happy.

Don't forget inbuild GPS...
S/E has to match the (and even be better than ) features of other manufactors such as the HTC TYTN II...
Posted by chombos1
looks fake to me!
most of the leaked specs states that the screen has a VGA resolution. but you see from the picture that the screen has a 9:16 aspect ratio (VGA is 3:4)
and if you look closely to the reflection of the letters (SE123) you can see that the refelection is in the wrong way; meaning a quick photoshoped work.
and ...... the photoshoper forgot to design/copy paste the jog dial button.
the indicator light on top of the screen is not real.
and if it is thiner than the P990 and want to have AF on camera i think it shouldnt be in slider formfactor.
P3i definitly EXISTs but not this one.

@Makbil - I have to agree with you. I own both the P990i and P1i and prefer having the flip. One of the major advances IMHO with UIQ3 was the greater access to more functions in FC mode, meaning that I do not always have to take out the stylus to perform basic functions. One handed operation for tasks such as sending a message in FC mode is faster than with the P1i.
Posted by Jah
I have been surprised recently when talking to professional business people how little the form factor matters. The UI seems to be more important and the size of the screen. Small screens, small icons and slow UI response are all no no. I hope the UI of the P3i is simplified and made very easy to use and SE use a larger screen than on the P1i.
Symbian 9.2, as used for the Nokia E90, seems stable to me so don't see why SE need to wait for Symbian 9.5.
