@angello:
They want to hear something about Hikaru, so I write something.
But: I stop writing abt Hikaru now... I will say something first, when I want :) And this is evtl. after announcement.

Without a d-pad? Pff- dont think so m8. If I wanted to go the route of all flashy UI and no substance- I would've gone for an iphone by now. They finally added this on the G900 and G700- and there they go and remove it again. No wonder UIQ will perish... it was never allowed to reach its full potential...shame. I really hope they make at least one good last stand for it.

tttttttttt, I take it you've forgotten the D pad that was on the numerical key pad flip on the P990I then? I know it made the OS use a different interface but never the less it was a UIQ device with a full D pad. But yes as I own a G900 I can totally agree with the fact a D pad makes using UIQ an utter dream.

I just edited the latest pic of remi from mizzle's blog as I reaaly don't like the phone from the front... But as I thought that few changes can make it look better, here is a quick edit from me:
Other than editing the black/white combo, I have moved up all the buttons a bit and increased the gap between the numeric keys slightly... It looks much better to me now... What do you guys think???
EDIT: The display seems like 1.9" in size just like T650...

Yes, the flip and the D-pad made the P990 extremely easy to use one handed, something SE hasn't been able to match in 2+ years since.

Nice work! Remi look much better now!
Posted by BoyBawang
Who knows? Hikaru may have a sliding dpad+qwerty.
But what i'm worried about is Eldars comment on Hikaru as just Paris with bigger memory. It contradics against the positive descriptions by tob!s & paba92
Posted by patr!ck
Maybe Eldar has an old prototyp or he will make Sony Ericsson bad in the public?! I don't know... See you all tomorrow!! Good N8

Thanks buddy, hope it wasn't too serious - I'm a car crash survivor too, not good at all.
@Nightblade,
WooooOOOOO! Thanks mate.
That made me laugh.
1000 pages of 'Hopes and Dreams' is a good way of putting it.
As long as the interest in SE is there then will be threads like this on Esato, mods permitting, but don't forget that the 2007 Rumours thread was started by our much missed Aussie mate Shaliron, who hasn''t posted for a while but hopefully lurks and is doing well - hats off to ya Big Truck!!!
Exciting stuff coming up soon guys, there has a been a 'wind change' in SE recently so expect the unexpected......

No, fortunately. Never been hospitalised apart from that episode thank god, needless to say, hospital food doesn't agree with me - I'll tell you that for nothing.
PK?
Well obviously, we're not good enough for him any more.
He's laying low for a while obviously. Must have his attention taken up by more important things. I'll drop him a line and let you know.

Yes, you're right, sorry, I did overlook the d-pad of the P990i. But that aside, everyone seems very hyped up about something...

Who ever designed the placement of D-pad in P990i is stupid! If u wanna use it, u will sacrifice the full screen and touch interface. Almost all softwares are designed for FO mode. You can't use it to play java games. Not even in native UIQ games because they are all made for FO mode. Worse is u can't use a d-pad to navigate messaging while typing the qwerty.
I'm so glad SE learned by getting rid of that stupid flip!

The main function of the P990 was not to play games, you can get one of the other toy models/brands for that, therefore your whole argument goes up in smoke. The P990 had the best ergonomic design ever and SE has not been able to match it, far from matching they seem to be getting worse with every new model.

Atleast tell 'not as nice as' as what??? As in real??? Or some other device???

I think SE don't even know about this thread/esato. After all 1000 pages of hope and suggestions still we don't get a all roundar device. Samsung and LG reading this thread i guess.
Posted by titus1
Remi should have at least an auto-focus. So it can compete with nokia's mid end model like 6500slide. But i really like Remi's design. Pure simplicity.

So tob!s, care to share your SEW avatar here with us?
Posted by Tigershark42
It's all well and good to call the P990i a business device. It's time was years ago, that was then, so it made sense. But nowadays, people expect the high enders to be powerhouses easily capable of doing everything else the other models can do, and more. Its an all in one convergence device. There is also a clear shift towards multimedia in the high-end sector as hardware and software are able to better support it. I would expect the best camera, music player, multimedia capabilities and internet capabilites and generally a nice looking OS from the high end.

Could someone explain to me the sharp edge at the bottom of the display part?

Now THAT's what I call a big screen.
EDIT: Here's what I managed to make of it:

isn't it tobi?

Yes, thats it.
Thanks xell.

This would be the white "dots".
I speak of this edge that looks like someone just draw a rectangle on it:
Posted by tob!s
Thats the refelction of the flash of the camera. There is a chrom like the one of the iPhone.
Tobi
Posted by Robis
what a terible photo quality
Posted by tob!s
because i resized the pic to 150x100 for the avatar @ SEW.
Posted by Yakkaimono
Got any info about the screen that you can share with us?
Posted by idumbakumar
Does this fit into the pocket. Pretty lengthy? I feel paris design would be good wit bigger screen.
Posted by king-james
It looks like Paris.
Please post a HD-Pic tobi. I can't wait.

That means this phone is thicker than iphone. Have you crossed the finger over it?
Posted by tob!s
No, sorry. Yes, its a little bit thicker than the iPhone. But hicaru is a slider and iPhone isn't a slider.
That's my cousin's Hicaru, so I not always have it.
Posted by marty mcfly
Not sure about that. It's either a fake or a bad design. I mean, is that a slide out qwerty keyboard at the bottom? The device would be so unbalanced being held up like that to type! Surely the logical thing would be to put the keyboard as a slide out like the Xperia and not like Paris.
I do hope it's real because I would like to see SE moving in this direction, but that keyboard looks daft.
Posted by tob!s
@ SE there are 2 Prototypes of Hicaru. One with X1 Keyboard and one with paris Keyboard. My cousin got the last one. It's one of the earliest Prototypes. So there can be chanced a lot until the announcement.
