No more copy and paste from SE. We need new products.

I am disappointed

Copy-paste strategy - it is style of Sony Ericsson. K750/W800, K550/W610, ... S302/W302, C902/W902, and now G705/W705. Coming soon - more copy-paste devices.

I think the C902 and W902 have enough differing features to be warrant being classed as different phones. The only thing similar about them is the form factor, not like the W800i / K750i at all.

Am I the only one here who thinks that Copy/Paste is good too??? I mean people don't buy a phone if it's been in the market for than few months unless it's a very great one, like T610, K750, etc...
This copy/paste strategy is really good for low and mid range phones as not only the phone are updated a bit but also the deffirent designs can keeps the sales stable.
Kate might prove out to be a better seller than C902, who knows???

I agree with that

Copy/Past Strategy works with midend and budget phones.. If you Copy/past HighEnds folk won't pay for same phone, that's mean depends what you are getting when you buy a new phone, if you already have a better, then you won't get them..
I think it's cost a lot to trash or cancel these phones which already on development. I mean design a phone takes long time...
Well hope some good news for 2009, only 2 month left this year.. and C905 comes soon out..

They get more and more closer to the nokia design scheme, seems to be like C902, and different colors will only affect the back and sides !
ps I am no fan of glossy black

Yep, that's definitely K770's successor.
Looks good.
Posted by not_me
the phone looks thin though, considering it has a xenon flash !

any perhaps with touch screen or Wlan support

It could be a C802...
Or a C712...
Posted by iva_se
C712 or C912 or C802
C705 is slider

C802 more likely
Posted by iva_se
I think C912
Posted by doministry
So, my question is stil rhetorical for now.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Does anyone else not like it? I think it looks a) Nokia-ish - It doesn't follow SE's style. b) The back looks very poorly put together and designed, like a bad photoshop. And c) It doesn't look new at all. It looks older than the K850i!
And if it is supposed to be a C902 or K77oi successor, then why does it not have the video call camera, etc?
Posted by bodeh6
Will it have GPS or not?
Posted by yea g
probably, most new
's have agps
Posted by razec
by the looks of it. it bears a lot of reminiscence with c905 look at the dpad, the side design, and the linings on the keypad. if only it has wifi and gps them this could win the mid range market.
Posted by Zuckabaecka
The screen looks a bit bigger than the tiny screen of the c902.
I don't know which one I should buy.
a w910 with 3,2mpx, LED with torch-function and with the speakers of the w902 would be the perfect handy
(for me)

Most likely because it has a Xenon.
But why the front camera is gone now?
C902 + Xenon - front camera = C890?

Well, I fully agree with you, but remember these are just more shoddily taken spypics in bad lighting and with very limited detail- The pics themselves were probably taken with another mobile phone anyway. The back is very ugly, but I've got to admit I dont dislike the front. Typically I never like a phone when I see it in spyshots or w/e, but then when its officially announced it suddenly looks way better. In fact, the only phone I have ever seen to break this trend is the W902. I disliked the design then, and I dislike it now. It's one of those that looks like it had so much potential. But I mean WTF did they do? It isn't even the same thickness throughout (so how is that classy as a 'high ender'?) and the left side has a different finish to the right side. Its a real shame because IMO the feature set is excellent, and those playback buttons its got are the right way to go for music.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah that's true, for example the T700 is one that I like a lot better now than I did in spy shots. I can agree with you on the W902 too, though I probably like it a bit more than you do. I think it looks better in its coloured variants. Another phone that I didn't like in spy shots and still don't like after its announcement is the G705. The worst bit is that these (W902 and G705) are two of the latest phones from SE, so what does that say for their future designs?
Posted by goldenface
Well thats a matter of taste.
I went into a store and handled the W902 and it just looked great, the orange highlights and the Walkman theme really go together well and it looks very erm masculine?
The textured sides do look good.
BTW, I can't seem to see any camera shortcuts on this new cyber-shot.
Posted by Ricky D
It reminds me of the N82 on the front. My guess would be the C712 or C810 depending on whether it'll have aGPS and/or touchscreen. The only camera shortcuts I can see on that photo is the brightness +/- on the d-pad.
Posted by razec
C802 imo.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I think C700 or C701.
@Goldenface: Yeah it certainly looks masculine. More of a rugged look to it. But I prefered when SE was designing cleaner looking phones... The C905 has such a beautiful, clean design in comparison to the W902.
Posted by doministry
G905
Posted by apolloa
I thought that was BeiBei when I first looked at it. Then you see the D pad and know it's not. It looks very big for a non smart phone too, but then again it is only against a white background so it's impossible to tell.
Posted by goldenface
If its anything like the K770i it will be about 14mm thin. I reckon
C705.
Posted by king-james
C900 IMO.
Posted by razec
guys the new nomenclature says that indexes that ends with number 5 are sliders. so forget about the c705 and whatsoever.
Posted by Zuckabaecka
8XX or 9XX is Highend.
IMO Kate isn't Highend in any ways.

It is semi high end. Let's say mid-high end which is why I guessed C700 or C701. It makes sense too if you think it's the K770i's successor (which, going by dates should be about right if this is released soon).
Posted by Zuckabaecka
C712 sounds realistic imo.
I wonder how long it takes to ship a f*cking phone.
Amazon.de still have no w902.....

C712 implies it is the successor to the C702, which it quite obviously is not.

qft
so a c70-0,1,2

sorry, all cell phones are the same

yes! but one of them is good.....so every phone is good
at the momen the w902 is the only phone i want from SE.
The C905 is to big. The X1 also.
The rest is too much copy&paste. If you compare the w910 with some new phones you think the w910 is also new!
same A200
same display
same features
same design

That's not completely true.
Posted by crossmatched
I learned rumors that this "kate" spy pic we saw will feature smile shutter. That's something new for a cybershot SE phone. That feature plus xenon flash plus bigger screen plus higher java platform support (same as c905) imo puts this "kate (?)" higher in position than c902.
Posted by ron.jeremy
Well, it reminds me of K750 this device.
And it looks to be 13-14mm thin i reckon
K770 also have a resemblense with Kate imo.
So at best a 8** index, my guess is C712 or C782 or something.
Not really a intresting device imo.
Not when my W902 is on my way.
Posted by AbuBasim
GSMArena got three more photos of Kate. The back looks similar to the K770 (actually too similar - hope it's not just a PhotoShop!) but a bigger sliding lens cover and what looks like a Xenon flash
So those of you that rushed out and bought the C902 with its "Photo flash" (marketing term for LED flash) can trade up soon.
I hope this will inherit the noise reduction software from the K750/K770 phones.
