Why we should call hicaru as a successor of paris. It's no way matched to the paris in terms of design and spec.

If the screen really is that big, then surely it is running WM with a VGA/WVGA screen. The proportions of the screen mean that it cannot be QVGA. It could therefore either be WM with high res (W)VGA, or another OS with WQVGA. Can anyone confirm that UIQ (3.3?) supports WQVGA?
As regards the sliding mechanism:
I thought the entire point of SE's orginial 'dual slider' patent was that there would be two sliders (one on top of the other), and of course, one would slide in one direction and the other could slide in the other direction. It could be possible that Hikaro uses such a design feature to have a landscape QWERTY keyboard but has something different (like a regular alphanumeric keypad, or a d-pad, or softkeys, or a 3G camera, or camera control keys) on the downslide. That would be truly awesome. Expensive, too.

I can't wait till next week then for more photos.
I hope they keep the qwerty rocker keyboard they had on paris because I'd prefer that over the full qwerty keyboard on the X1.
I might end up holding to get a new phone till the end of the year if this phone turns out to be a gem

I have one question Mizzle, is that not Hecaro?
Posted by BoyBawang
@tob!s
it seems that there are two hard buttons below the screen. It contradicts to what you said before that no buttons and dpad
Posted by darknoob
@BoyBawang
It has only end and send keys.
Klue, Dont expect Hicaru this year..
Posted by Thasitis
I just pushed up the brightness in Photoshop a little bit and there seems to be a Walkman-Button on the right side, but no D-Pad.

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.
So the expectations haven't changed, that is what everyone was expecting from the P990 when it came out. However, SE has not only made no significant improvement to the P990 platform, instead they have introduced poorly designed devices with less features than the P990. User interface, missing functions and the fastport placement are just a few examples.
A business device certainly doesn't mean it should not have high end audio and video features but I would hardly rate it by how games can be played on it.

So is the size comparable to the iphone in terms of width and height? Id really hope they kept the size down. I dont want really anything bigger then my m600.

Hicaro screen size seems like 3.2" which is bigger than Xperia X1s 3.0" Do you all agree?

Nobody said we will see it in a few weeks. Especially not Mizzle or Pop Lover. Tob!s could say anything here and the majority of members who are regulars in this thread would not believe him.
No offense to Tob!s, but his stories are hard to believe and they seem a bit confused. He needs to earn everyone's trust with some solid proof before spouting off his hard-to-believe stories!

But they replaced the paris with hicaro for h/w upgrad.but seems the device look bigger and controversial key design to me.but i can't comform till i see the real one. I'm loosing my hope.bec i really need D-pad. Anyone joining with me?

Hicaru is now in early prototype level, So I don't expect it this year. maybe MWC 2009?
btw the resolution screen looks to me WVGA or VGA. not QVGA anymore
Posted by goldenface
Thats definitely wide screen so its either wVGA or wQVGA.

You will see pics, then you can believe it.

Hikaru's screen is lil smaller than X1's one.
Posted by darknoob
Its the same screen size, also same size as Paris(height and width and I think also thick)

That's bad news. the X1 screen is almost as small as P990i screen if you compute the area.

all right...so we have to another 6-8 months for a high end phone from se!!!
till then only discuss about leaks??
where is pk??why is not taking part in discussion???
Posted by MikeMeyers
yeah right... now let's start with the criticism just like we did with Paris & Beibei until Hikaru get's cancelled also... Could you people please STOP! You didn't even see an actual final version and you already started to find "weak spots". I must say you deserve Paris being cancelled and UIQ being almost dead. Many fanboys just don't know when to stop... Hikaru is great! Hope they bring it on the market no matter what kind of keyboard they choose and no matter what Os is running... just bring it!

Right,Its too early to talk about Hicaru for my opinion. It is really great phone, really featured well but SE need to release it early of 2009 and not late 2009 ..if they want it to be not outdated like Paris.

I thought after 1000 th page we get the confirmation of hicaru but its right opposite. we are keeping one leg in land nother in ocean. Again disappointment?
If the same goes then nobody start 2009 portfolio thread.

as I remember ... the last rumor said 11 Aug.
G705 must be one of them
still waiting for the appearance of 16GB
Posted by king-james
Okay Pop Lover, the G705, but it is nothing interesting. I thought something special - a High-End...
Posted by darknoob
just a week ago SE announced an high-end phone (W902) and a month ago one more (C905) we can't expect a company to release every month a new High-end =/
Posted by king-james
@ Darknoob
Is the W902 for you a High-End? It's only a C902 with 8GB and a lil bigger screen and a ugly design! The W902 is something for the kids... I wait for the 16GB Walkman and the second XPERIA what Pop Lover said. I hope these will be announce soon.
Posted by darknoob
for SE its high-end. also you shouldn't expect the 16GB walkman that soon because we already have 2 high end in walkman portfolio this year (W980 and W902) but another xperia phone is coming:)
Posted by Astral1
More! More! More!
Thats all this thread is about.
Every time a leak appears, it is disected and discarded as not good enough.
SE havent a snowballs chance in hell of keeping up with what you all want!
Even Nokia with all their resources couldnt keep up with how quickly most of you discard phone specs as crap.
Posted by Pop Lover
this is the best year for
many high-end devices
W902 -- C905 -- X1 -- G900 -- W980 -- C902
the portfolio is getting sharper and more competitive now
and yes the year not over yet
G705 a phone with a handy price and awesome specification so far...
still believe in more high-end devices for this year
the eye on
this year
God Bless you
Posted by king-james
But the 16GB Walkman is a Smartphone or? I think it's the W960 successor...
The new XPERIA without qwerty comes later or before the X1? Do you or somebody know that?
Posted by tob!s
Realy? Wow, that's the hottest year for SE!
The W960 Successor is a smartphone. And the X5 will be after the X1.

I thought X1 and C905 are the only high-ends in that list. Perhaps I should lower my standards a bit
