But it won't be 16GB nor have a 10mm body 
Which begs the question: If it won't have 16GB and not be 10mm then in what way is it monster? You're such a tease.

I hope, not by its visual appearance

imo the 16gb walkman should have 5mp.
if w960, last year's
UIQ flagship should be upgraded, it has to be both the camera and memory.

no worries.
designers generally output beautiful creations 
hope it will be a monster in specs

SE really need to think about moving to a larger screen size. Their run of the mill standard sizes are fair, but theyre just that. They dont really impress me.

Funny, it still works.
Posted by Tigershark42
That is funny. We never knew the whole story to that though. Maybe they will get another device and call it P10 and thats it, rather than Paris. Who knows.

I would guess that the touchscreen monster will probobly be the Beibei equivilent to G900 i.e. with GPS. Instead of having the G702 and G902, there will probobly be a single device and my thoughts are that the Beibei pic we saw recently would be that. It was thicker than the original Beibei if you look closely.
Also, I bet we will see a phone that looks identical to Paris but with new hardware. A Walkman version of X1 would be crap if it was WM, under all the flashy Walkman UI, you would have to pull out the stylus and that would be uncool.

He said it was based on BeiBei so one would assume that means a similar form factor meaning standard candybar.
I hope though that they upgrade a few things though since the BeiBei protos like autofocus on the camera and Triband HSDPA. SE has not given North America a UIQ device since the P910a and that was over 4 years ago.

Agreed, however, SE has gotten things to a point where we will be happy to get back to the P990 screen size.
I really have trouble understanding SE's logic. From the P990 onward, SE has continuously regressed in their hw specifications with the exception of RAM. The little things that made SE what they are have gradually disappeared from their models (both hw & sw). They need to start using their own phones and introduce those deleted features back in the new models.

Which BeiBei picture do you mean?
Posted by laurenke01
Interesting. I always liked Beibei's design. Give me Beibei with the G900's camera and I'll be happy. I'll even forgo 3G if need-be.

I am sure it is the same old BeiBei on that picture that was cancelled in Europe and America. It's not anything new.

showed a rather weak 2nd quarter this year and was lodged out of the 4th place in ranking among the mobile makers.
will rely on the walkman 16gigs, UIQ cybershot, T650 upgrade and hecaros (plus the announced c905) to carry the torch in the 2nd half of '08.
this "remi" phone is T610 reborn, isn't it? it is not yet the T650 upgrade, right?

Similar to how Remi is based on the W890 platform? Either way, it's exciting to me. Announcement this month is great too. I just hope the camera is improved.

isn't it just a financial result announcement??
Posted by murderjon
Yes, but maybe SE will also announce new phones. That was my first mind...
Posted by Tigershark42
To be honest, the only good announcement weve had this year was the one at MWC 2008. Other than that, Ive got to say its been a very disappointing year. Its a joke to call this SE's year, not based on what we've seen so far. One or two devices aren't really enough to be able to say that. Thats just about all we've had thats of interest, to be honest. I still dont see a reason why Paris and Beibei have been cancelled. They should be upgraded, but not cancelled.

Kumiko has 3.2-Mp camera. The successor of W960i must have 5-Mp camera (like W960i).

we still have 6 months to go before we close 2008..
still has 6 months to release their handsets that will make 2008 befitting to be called 's year.
i have to agree though that MWC was a very big event for
in retrospect, imo
made noise this year with xperia, the paris super smartphone rumor, the very first 8mp cameraphone c905 and alot of cute, feature rich mid tiers
Posted by Tigershark42
but Paris never came, and we're sick and tired of the same regurgitated mid-tiers. Alot of people are disappointed with the first impression of the T-series device we've recently seen precicely because of that- the mid-tier buyers now have a huge selection, volumes of devices to choose from, it seems. There are low end devices, many of them. But theres nothing for the ultra low end category (below 50 GBP, or thereabouts) and theres nothing for the really uncompromising, high end category (considering G900 almost, but does not really fit that description, and X1 is great, but SE is neglecting their original high end consumers by forcing them to use WM and not what theyre used to- thats not what an upgrade is- its an alternate solution, and Im totally all for it, but the upgrade is still necessary).

Posted by m-one
Sure
Posted by jayce
I have to agree that so far it's been a real disappointment for anyone waiting on a high end smartphone from
and they seem so far away from the heady days of the P910.
Personally I don't know whether to try and hold on for a few more months in the hope that
surprise us all, or to cut my losses now and find something else.
I'm toying with the P1i but hardware wise it's old now and not very inspiring.
Trouble is I don't really want to go to Windows Mobile, the iPhone is locked down (officially) and there are still limitations on the 2.0 firmware and the Nokia N96 is damned expensive SIM free and may have below average battery life.
Never really looked at Samsung, LG or other phones in this range, so my choices are limited.
Am I putting too much faith in
to deliver something new and exciting this year?
Posted by my ninja
if i could drop linux on an HTC Touch Pro ... id ditch SE in a heartbeat ... but as it stands they are my options, i prefer a company keep me by what they plan to do instead of what they have done, my brand preference is SE and it pains me that they are doing nothing to keep my business other than our near half decade long relationship.
but ill wait on the HTC Touch Pro if SE can convince me otherwise ... and ill possibly get a C905 (hideous in its design personally) or just go with a NIKON D60 + HTC Touch Pro.
M-one thanks for the info i really appreciate it, and your patience with these kids begging for more

Why would it be bad news? Apart from the fact that I do not believe it could be a true 8 MP, it's always good for us the consumers to be presented with better options. Unless you are an SE employee, you should welcome better devices regardless of where they come from. It's even good for SE, it will force them to come up with better devices if they want to stay in the game.

If news about LG's phone are true,then I hope that the quality of its camera would be good...Because,the Viewty has the worst quality in photos from alla 5 megapixels phones.....SO,if LG bring something similar to Viewty but the same in terms of quality,it isn't a great step in my opinion...
Posted by domipost
M-one, you said a few pages ago that there will be only one announcement left this year, and you allso said that there will be an 2,4" touchscreen phone this month, so that means there will be no announcements from se in the whole 2nd half of 2008 :s. That would be really dissapointing

More pics of Beibei/G702. I hope this phone comes out as a new model but upgrade
Posted by chuksy
I must say if SE does not come out with a phone that has atleast 2.8" screen size this year, i might settle for an android phone possible from HTC. Am so used to the p-series that it would be difficult to to settle for anything less than 2.8" screen size.
So am waiting and watching to see what SE has to offer for the rest of the year.
Nokia ,iphone,samsung and LG are out of the question.

that beibei above doesn't SE123 (proto) stamped on it.....
no im not saying its a sign, just pointing out that it doesnt have it

I'm looking forward to the next announcement from SE. Whether it's this month (hope so) or even next month, I hope it will deliver the next business flagship (non-Xperia) and the next walkman flagship. I am waiting til everything is on the table before I make my decisions.
So what ever happened to Hecaro? PK and Pop Lover have been very quiet lately...
Was hecaro just a name thrown out there to play with our emotions? Haven't been many leaks lately, but I like that m-one has given us some tidbits that a UIQ "monster" is coming soon. However, I don't see a 2.4" screen being very monstrous at all....but we'll see.
I was never a fan of the t610 for some reason. I went from my T68i to the K700... wow what a difference
The small screen on remi doesn't appeal to me. And the cluster of keys seems difficult to navigate without looking. I'm a big fan of doing everything blind...
