So, Paris cancellation was also due to critic it gained?

Posted by Mizzle
Yep, it actually was. Not user critic, though.

So, if I write up a wish list then

will look at it and consider it? Hmmmm.....

Well, since I am a big

fan (I have a

tatoo, my first child is called Sony and his brother is named Ericsson), I think I deserve a phone according to my needs. Maybe somebody should make an 'I wish

made a phone with...' thread.

As

made a huge loss, i'll keep it realistic and on a budget.
- Walkman version of G900 with accelerometer, running on UIQ 3.3
- Make the 16GB Walkman UIQ
- Release phones earlier
- Good video recording
- Change or remove that 'Clarity' theme from your phones, it's so lame
- Your adverts need super hot and sexy ladies
- Pay attention to the photoshops thread

- agree

You know what, you can go on and on about how Joe Public doesn't care about this that and the other, but I think the results speak for themselves. I hate to bring it up, but the iphone, makreted as an easy to use smartphone is a smash hit. This highlights the fact that people DO know what a smartphone is, but they want it to be accessible to them and easy for them to pick up and find use in. Another one: HTC Touch Diamond. People DO want all the capabilities that windows mobile has to offer, they just dont want the complication that will come along with using it. I suppose you could sum it up by saying they don't want it to be seen as a strictly PDA only device, but a multifunctional diverse tool.

Even if after that you insist that smartphones aren't that widely known, you must at least admit that that stereotype is decreasing. More and more people are becoming aware of these things as they become easier to use and as they bring more valuable uses over regular phones (such as access to the full internet, rather than just bits of HTML text, such as a decent digital camera replacement rather than a makeshift snapper). N95 sold alot. There are many people who want the best features. Anyway I apologize if you fail to see any need for this rant.

That's great news that SE will finally embrace the wants of consumers communicated via the internet. I want them to know that we DO prefer just having a 3.5mm jack to a handsfree set,we DO want cameras to have 5 MPx or more on the mid-high end, we do want the TV out function, we do want the accelerometers, we want more smartphones, we want larger screens, more multimedia focus (theres been little improvement to video playback), more flash content, and more options for such customisation, full internet access, more wifi connectivity implemented, VGA recording at 30fps, we want more touchscreens! With multi-touch functionality. I would like to see at least some of these enhancements to be implemented across the board (e.g. the 3.5mm jack/accelerometer/more use of flash content/full internet access). We should see fewer phones in the portfolio, but more diversity between them. But more importantly, they should forget dividing the products into music or imaging segments, because many people want the both. Thats my wish list >D

@tigershark
I agree fully with you. But how mid end can get a 5mp cam? Might be these days 5mp considered as mid end lol.
For me 5mp is enough but seriously i consider the quality. Even C902 still having red-pink problem.C905 purple fringing.
Even pavel said tat they are going to concentrate on low end devices. so we can't expect more high ends. Right?
Now tell me any of you one thing. If i write a suggestion mail to SE, will they consider and reply me? Somebody might have done already! Also to whom i have to send it?

Posted by makbil
I agree that the PR advisor is a move in the right direction but SE needs a good technical advisor as well if it want to be at the same playing level as its competitors, at the moment they are at least 2 years behind.

Where does it say that the camera is 3.2mp?

MMS size.

Posted by the-flash
Still, that's only the max MMS can handle. The camera itself MAY be higher than 3.2mp.

Posted by Mizzle
MMS size is usually 2 mp (1600 x 1200 pixels)

@badassmam
Those "Clarity" Themes are the only ones I use.
I hate those pinky - sh..itty - rainbows - candy, they are not good to work and are so eye-tiring.

Posted by badassmam
Clarity hurts my eyes, they bleed as a matter of fact.

Is the JavaOne phone the Xperia phone? Will it be WM or UIQ. A few rumblings have been going around (my sources) about a PSP type UI being created for the future but more cosmetic than anything else (like TouchFlo), any ideas?

Also, a little bird told me that a few UIQ devices are around so Hicaru is not the only one. Apparently, the C905 will not be the only 8MP phone available before next year's 10MP phone. Hicaru will not be the only other phone with 8MP to come.

Also, Beibei's scroll wheel is not so good as its lame for scrolling long lists. With the d-pad (like G900) you can hold down the button whereas it hurts to scroll a long list with Beibei. Pressing down the wheel is not so hot either as it often scrolls at the same time. The stylus is uncomfortable as well and gets caught on stuff (has a loop at the end) so you end up losing it or finding it separate from the phone. However, UIQ 3.3 is said to be nice; nothing so groundbreaking but a positive update to UIQ 3.

Does anyone want to rubbish my claims or do you agree?

Posted by Phoner
If the little bird is right, these are great news

I can partly agree on what you wrote about BeiBei. I do not find scrolling difficult, although I think the scroll wheel on the side as on previous models is more comfortable. I try to press the screen not the BeiBei wheel, cause it is more convenient for me. I also prefer to use fingers, rather than the strange looking stylus.
Getting used to UIQ 3.3 was so fast, that I now find it a little bit difficult to use the old UIQ 3.

In their latest podcast, the AllAboutSymbian guys talked about releasing news soon about new devices from Nokia, Samsung...and SE. I guess they also got info on Hikaru...

Anything high end is welcomed i say!

Posted by BoyBawang
I will also welcome it even if it's just Paris. What happened to the rumor that Paris will still be released to the rest of the world except Europe?

Posted by goldenface

Good news, these rumours have been a bit thin-on-the-ground lately.

Also, I still keep reading stuff about SE's 'iPhone', on the internet. Did this rumour begin with a rogue photoshop going around? What was the origin of that rumour exactly?

Posted by djin
whatever it is, se should release c905 in september n make their best announcement asap, because nokia will be releasin n96. Which ud then kill sales of se

Posted by se_dude
N96 is no competition for SE's C905. samsung will take care of that

C905 is more for the mass market.It will be a bestseller absolutely.

Posted by djin
well, its no competition for us, but for a normal person, he would see, n96 and n95 having 5 megapixel, while c905 havin 8mp! and then jump off to it. As thats what i see in people around me.

But even though they are not basically competitiors, it can help se keep some of its momentum, and the earlier they have their release dates, earlier we can expect the next announcement.

Posted by idumbakumar
Even c905 is a different story N96 definitely affect the sales a bit as its new. If c905 has simple 5mp cam then what will be the difference with the old phones without wifi too.

Posted by makbil
C905 and N96? Forget it, Nokia has made such a great name for itself no one will even look at C905 unless the price is really low enough to make a difference. It's crucial how SE handles the next year as I think it will determine the future of that company.

Posted by clauf
They are two completely different phones for different target markets... I don't understand why some of you are doing these comparisons...

Assessment fail.

Posted by djin
Well, i havent compared c905 and n96. What you guys failed to see my point was that, if se releases c905, it can help get some market shares rather than let all the buyers buy n96 as its only choice.

According to various Swedish newspapers, SEs music service PlayNow will come alive on Monday in Scandinavia, more countrys to follow.
One million songs, not copy protected, from the start.

@ Mizzle

thx for posting that Java video on se-nse. although Rikko confirmed that this model will see the light, but the latest cancellations had the best of my hopes. i mean, when can we see something similar to this promising phone ?

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Does anyone else see the similarities between the JavaOne phone and this? Rather similar in appearance methinks, but those headphones so aren't Sony Ericsson.

Posted by idumbakumar
If 01 phone is from SE then why don't they publish it in their own site?
Also nobody having answers for my question.
Means no leakes? What ever high stuffed phones released by nokia, samsung,LG, or wat ever. SE will answers with copy of old kind of phones for reminding their presence.
They are delaying for useless things and rushing to show some old things with small updates. So other companies taking advantage and rushing with beating specs. First SE started showing 5mp k850i,other companies killed with n82, viewty etc in advanced spec,.
Now same story goes for C905.
I den't know whats gonna happen...
