what’s more?
- 4 GB M2 and HPM-77 included to go with the CLEAR audio experience
- YouTube application
- Chat view for messaging
- Rika will probably be the first (don’t count X1, J132) to feature 3.5 mm audio jack
- The price is probably about the same as W595 when launch!
Posted by xell
HPM-77 and 3.5mm jack exclude each other. Kev should know better.
Posted by Mizzle
3.5 mm is absurd.
Posted by Angello
yep no 3.5mm for Rika
Posted by wiraperkasa
then, will hikaru or the next 8mp 8gb phone have 3.5mm?

The W705 is nothing special and both colours are ugly!
SE disappoints me always! Always the same shit only in other case!
The next copy of the G705 is the C705.

This time last year the W890i was announced, surely that warrants replacing as is quite a big seller - Slim, metal Walkman under 10mm.
The Portfolio will be contracting next year according to Dicky so we should see fewer but nicer handsets.

I was thinking about the future of UIQ. Everybody knows it was abandoned by SE and then by Motorola. But there is nothing there on uiq.com about discontinuation of OS.
I know It will be discontinued when first UI from Symbian Foundation will see the light. What about uiq showroom? Their ideas of new UI?
I've read this document:
http://www.symbianfoundation.org/files/WhitePaper.pdf
And there is this section:
The Symbian Foundation platform embraces and combines proven technologies and software assets to provide the most complete, and consistent mobile platform.
The initial contributed assets to the Symbian Foundation platform are:
• Symbian
• S60
• UIQ
• MOAP(S)
These software assets are to be contributed to the foundation by Fujitsu, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO and Sony Ericsson along with related tools and documentation.
[b]On launch of the foundation, which is expected in the first half of 2009, all contributed assets will be available under the foundation’s royalty-free license. Device manufacturers will be shipping devices based on the foundation’s assets from launch of the foundation.[b]
A new platform is then to be formed from Symbian OS and S60 with selected UIQ and MOAP(S) technologies integrated.
What about text in bold? Am I wrong or does it mean that they can do some more stuff with UIQ or MOAP or S60? And when the new unified UI will be completed they stop using these "contributed assets"?
If somebody knows something about it can you confirm this or not?

one more day til this thread is locked... probably long overdue.
i believe what mizz and the others mean is that the inclusion of that particular headset with the phone (which uses a fastport to connect) contradicts the inclusion of a 3.5mm on the phone.
so yes, they are serious.
Posted by djin
Ah i see. Aoww.... Mizzle. You used slang language for me????
Anyways, its always nice to have more features,and having more convenience. Like how its there in X1.

please SE, give me X2.same design(or better) as X1.just upgrade the cam to 5mp CCD , S60, if possible thinner(if same as X1 still ok), walkman player 4.0,8gb with expandable memory, amoled screen(for better battery saving as well), keep the 30 fps video record, great UI, finger touch.....throw it for a bit expensive, surely i'll buy...

What's wrong with W902? That's basically C902 with 2.2" screen.

Wow...W705 lost the GPS chip from the G705!
Guess this phone is even more useless now

Note, that W705 is not high-end phone for 2009. It is more than mid-range, but less than high-end.
Posted by Angello
it's not more than mid-end
it's low-mid-end...

low-end

Yes but still, the W705 is the G705 just with a change in the first letter, so they should be pretty much the same?
And from what I can see, the only difference is just the walkman 3.0 player...
Well, as long as it doesn't cost more than G705 it'll be okay i guess

Live pics of W705 please!

"Sony Ericsson predict their handsets to sport 20 MP cameras, Full HD video recording, and XGA displays in four years"
I got it from mobile-review.com. It's one of the feature news for today. Is it any true? I hope so.
Posted by soulsaber
Ya thats in FOUR years...which is like an eternity when it comes to technology.
Samsung already has 10 MP camera phones, some japanese phone is pretty close to XGA (1024x480), and there is 720x480 video recording.

Either you or mobile-review.com got it wrong, it's what Ericsson predicts, not
and are two different companies.

Let's get to the new Portfolio Thread.
Go Oli!!!

I would also like to take this moment to thank the success of the 2008 thread by goldenface and to congratulate Oli, the new beginnings of the 2009 thread. As I stated earlier, the Keitai thread and the new 2009 thread will be working closely together in terms of Sony Ericsson Japan news, rumors, and developments.
Posted by domipost
Yeah, thanx Goldenface.
To Oli much succes with your new tread and thanx in advance
Posted by goldenface
Hi guys, thanks for the comments.
I've had a couple of extra days off work so been enjoying a long weekend, hence the short absence, but things will be back to normal next week when we can say goodbye to the 2008 rumours thread.
I just need to check with Oli that he's ready to go and I'm really excited to see what he has in store for the new thread - I'm sure he'll do a fantastic job and I know he's been working on the layout and appearance already so its in good hands.
Running the 2008 Rumours thread has been great fun, however, I would like to share in the disappointments to those guys who had been expecting a lot more from SE this year.
With the Symbian Foundation in its infancy, canceled phones and the global economy not being at its best I think we can all say that 2008 hasn't exactly gone smoothly.
So until then, roll on 2009 and I'm sure a lot of lessons will have been learnt from 2008 and next year will see some cracking hardware coming our way.
There have been some great contributors and posters to this thread and I hope most have enjoyed it as much as I have.
