They really suck in terms of the smartphone market.
Just X1, that's a bit too little I think.
Hope for their new highends soon.

Great, so we both phones and accessories lined up for announcement, I'm always interested in the accessories they pump out.
More interested in the phones of course.
Looks like Rika might be making an appearance at last, however with a turbulent year almost coming to an end for SE I'm hoping we won't see any more of the W660i / W610i mid-range efforts - let them just make one W810i upgrade and leave it at that.

Hmm...
Although so many problems,
SE managed to became 3rd producer in the world, behind Nokia and Samsung, but skipped Moto and LG.
Secondly, if Moto has officially abandoned UIQ,
what will "Surface from the labs??" on UIQ site?

That phone is absolutely insane.... 3.8" touchscreen with 1024x480 resolution!!
Anyways....SE should just ditch the walkman brand, since they refuse to use 3.5mm headphone jacks. Most people don't like some ugly adapter hanging from their phone.
this should be like saying that the Hikaru but without keyboard that looks ugly
wuaooooooooo

It's not Cyber-shot flagship, so QVGA-video is normal.
P.S. Release of this handset will be not in Q1, 2009.

Sounds like a walkman version of the C905. These days, I think we should be seeing more touchscreens from SE. But its still very good, still better than N*kia, just not as much choice as Samsung, or LG. So anyway, announcement is on Monday no? Would be interesting to see if this mobile surfaces or not. Im still far more excited about the X1!

Indeed. That in and of itself is pretty interesting, but it still doesn't quite do it for me. More than likely it'll be A2 and therefore won't be touchscreen.
Dunno. I need more info, of course.
Posted by Tigershark42
Yeah I agree. I like SE alot, and their software is indeed very good, but other than the diminishing UIQ handsets, and the so-far one-off X1, theyre all very very similar if not the same on the software side. I'm bored with A1 and A2. Half the reason why I want the X1 more is for the change. Add to that the customizability, which you have with A1/2, but within certain parameters (e.g. how much flash you can include in a theme). Its really time they made something with more of a buzz to it, IMO, something thats more than just a feature. I suppose this is where apple can claim dominance in the market (but they can also claim inferiority in almost any other aspect anyway). I personally would really like to see SE come up with their own answer to the samsung tocco, which is a brilliantly positioned handset.

The features are disappointing! What's the essence of putting 8 megapixel cam without xenon flash and with poor video recording. Add the 2.6 screen -that's total bull.....
What SE needs know is a device that can do it all! Is it very hard to do?
Posted by iqtidar
i bet its gonna be announced next week.
Posted by Santa_Claus
Hmmmm. Something is wrong with the spec stated for Hikaru:
As far as know the screen will be larger eighter 3.0 or 3.2 inch with WVGA and 16mil colors.
The video recording should be VGA with 30 f/sec.

Posted by laurenke01
So this Walkman slider isn't Hikaru at all? That's good news. That would mean this "W905" is just the C/P phone of the C905. Or it could mean the "leaked" specs are simply wrong.

Motorola drops UIQ, but slip word of Windows Mobile 6.5

Posted by iqtidar
so, is the 8.1megapixels walkman phone expected to be announced in this coming announcement?
Posted by Tigershark42
So is there actually any confirmation FROM SOMEONE RELIABLE that Hikaru has a touchscreen? (Presumably otherwise it would just have standard S60, maybe with a tweaked UI).

It's gonna be touch screen.
However, I am not sure that will have Walkman 4.
As far as I know the first Walkman 4 device has different codename (not Hikaru)

Presumably this X-series is Hikaru to which the standard answer is: Soon.
