hahahahahahahahahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ...
wow, unless its a tablet PC i dont think ppl would want to carry a desktop computer in their pockets ... form factor is WAY WAY outta control.
as for now, my eye has moved clearly towards a TouchPro it is what SE should have released this year. at the very least a TouchDiamond, i think if SE did that, they would have captured the hearts of many, esp those here on esato.
thanks for the pics guys, very appreciated and the G705 will hopefully have a sister the G905 that unifies that design a bit better. whats up with the C905 its shaped like an oval instead of a regular shape, same problem i had with the w61s which still runs circles around the language of the C905, its almost generic. the INNOV8 from samsung also looks like its a crowd pleaser, but can they match SE for functionality has yet to be seen. i hate how WM is 65k colors, seems like it should be upgradeable.
speaking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ4VHYz38l0
seeing as how a 5mpx cameraphone can take video in vga @ 30fps ... i call bs on any SE employee who says its not their focus and they cant do it. its been done BY the company for a year. they keep shitting on every territory and thankfully its bitten them in the ass, if the only listened.

Well that "Way outta control from factor" pretty much looks the same size as the iPhone and it's selling pretty well. If that was a man holding it the device would look smaller. I think it looks great and SE will be sure to have a big success on there hands if it's branded as the new Walkman. It's certainly a far cry from he P990.

i don't know why you think it looks like a tablet....length and width looks to be similar to the iphone in size. thickness is of course more due to the slider mechanism, but it doesn't look to be all that thick from the 2nd pic xell posted.
i agree with others that the up/down slide mech seems to be a waste but simply having a horizontal arc slider would probably create competition with the X1 maybe?
i would have liked a vertical slider with pseudo qwerty (p1 style) for one-handed use. 3g camera should be next to speaker like usual and camera functions should be on screen with the camera mode button on the side as usual. it is a 2 yr old design, so hopefully they've though things over a bit and changed it
Posted by idumbakumar
I don't understand why you people talking about 2yr old video. Is there no news to talk about.
Posted by moogoo
We're talkin bout the video because it sort of coincides with the info pop lover's given us about hicaro.

no multitouch no iphone killer
is this the last/final design of the phone???
So, it's really device or just joke?

i'm curious...
with the slide up mech, there are two camera holes and a flash? seems like a first for a 3g camera to have a flash too. and why are there two holes? It almost looks like it's the camera part used to take the picture of the car. i'm pretty confused!

It's an odd placement of Ambient light sensor or Proximity sensor because it's not functional when closed.
it coincides with the most awkward placement of the camera buttons at the buttom

I think this http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=164464&start=420 should have been posted here???

Why do they keep on spreading pictures of canceled products? Are they really canceled or what? But Paris looks so damn nice! I pray it will be released here in Asia
Posted by mariozlp
I think its new name is Hicaro (or not??), Paris is canceled (dead project).
Posted by BoyBawang
The one in the picture is Paris. Hikaro is in a different form-factor- A full screen without the d-pad.
I hope the rumor is true that Paris is canceled in Europe only.
Posted by famous12
This has been posted before but can anyone clarify what this really is ? UIQ 3.3 ??
Hicaro sounds like Maria to me except its not a walkman

Did someone tell you that? >__<" That's BS alright. But if it is true, it might have something to do with the software. The software on the W61s and the SO905iCS is very different from SEMC Java.
Posted by Mizzle
No, these pics represent a concept UI by UIQ technology.
Posted by moogoo
shame it hasn't really been implemented.. looks slick.
@mizzle & xell
have you guys seen, touched, used Hikaro and/or the w960 successor already? If so, what are your impressions on it? will it disappoint? meet or exceed expectations?

who said the iPhone was a good size?
anyway if you look at the pic on the last page that "phone" looks to have a good bit of width on the iPhone and MANY devices out right now. the thickness is pretty on point as far as what xell showed, and the height is just as bad as the width. you all are defending the product like its your child, its merely my opinion, you are entitled to yours. but then again my observations arent untrue. its just that my tolerance for BS is lower.
Posted by badassmam
That JavaOne phone looks awesome, its all about innovation so if it is well built; it will be bad ass. I've been waiting a long time for something fresh and the X1 came but it is WM. This phone will probobly be a very high spec and the design will be unique. What else do people want
to do with this? I say bring it on.

Hey there ...
Next yr the Strategy changes ... for the Cyber-shot fones ...
Flag-ship fone for SE next yr 10MP Cyber-Shot with an added adv. 3XOptical Zoom to be announced in May 2009 and to be released in June/July 2009 ...
This is will be the last upgraded Mega-pixel fone from SE, after which they would be working and focusing on Optics & hardware and not increased Mega-pixel count.
Ciao.

Sounds Good Micks, looks like they're getting a bit more serious about their handsets now...
Posted by goldenface
Well 10.0MP+ would be getting into silly territory really - its about time it was capped. Good to see the period shortened between announcement and release, that will please a lot of people and give the competitiors less time to catch up.
If the C905 was to become available 4 - 6 weeks after announcement they would have such a priceless advantage.

Is there any evidence to that? The whole post just sounds made up, sorry!
Posted by micks2005
Yup ... that's for sure ...
Next yr's portfolio announcement is in November to all SE employees only in Sweden as all production heads all over the globe are heading there along with other respective employees of SE worldwide.
So after which someone will start the thread for 2009 to bring to all you guys all the latest info. for SE next yr. It's nice to release some tit-bits here and there ... so that you guys are made aware of certain things.
As for evidence, wait for next yr, as well ever heard of NDA's ... Can't give away too much, too early, you'll just have to wait like everyone else for it.
Ciao.

New pic by xell: The slider is open, and the camera-button appears.

the man looks like a woman... LOL!!
sorry, back to topic now :-D

You've got a PM.
Posted by goldenface
My word!
I wouldn't answer a video-call if I had hair like that! They might think some crazed serial-killer had answered the phone.
Nice concept but would look mighty expensive to produce.

It actually looks a lot smaller and thinner than the already dainty T610, would like to see it in the flesh.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Wow their dimensions are very very similar lengthwise! The black and silver portions look to be the exact same length!
Posted by gauravsali
but is any1 sure100% tht slider in pic is not a concept phone but real one which is going to be launched????
Posted by patr!ck
the spokesman in this video said, that SE is going to announce something similiar to the 3Slider this year
Posted by gauravsali
@paba
is there any chance of announcment of high-end phone?
if nt then when it will be announced?
Posted by patr!ck
I won't promise anything, but maybe we will see Hikaru. I think we'll see it next announcement in 2 weeks. But how I say: I won't promise anything!!
The only thing, I can promise you: Hikaru is awesome!! Both... specs and design!
If you mean the 3Slider: I have no more informations.

If the SW and buildquality isn't stable/finished they don't need to make it IMO!
Posted by tob!s
Yes, you're right. But Hicaru is very awsome and the software is very stabile. So they must build it.

Can u confirm a 30fps vga recording in Hikaru? What's your estimate of its screen size?
