I really hope they dont to be honest! It looks really cheap and those buttons on the side just remind me of a walkman tape player!
All they need to do is make a walkman phone with one button only the on and off switch and all the rest to be on the screen!

guys, do you think K850's redesign will announce in 3GSM like K810?
K850 isn't out for long time...
Posted by cellpassion
well, you should see some new devices at 3GSM... I'm not sure about the dec 12 announcement but i've been told that the first announcement of 2008 will take place in february...
Posted by xironghostx
And that a 7.2mp phone will be announced in february 2008. (probably uiq, wlan and 2.4")
Posted by chombos1
yeah...
don't forget the Video recording and the Optical zoom though...
cause the optical zoom is mentioned several times by the SE officals.

the 7.2MP phone will be the real K850i successor, released in late 2008, while the K850i update will be released in mid 2008, announcement maybe mid 2008 for the 7.2MP and mid feb. for the K850i update
the K850i update will have 5MP but with manual cover and may have Optical zoom with some how redesigned back layout, this is definitly not UIQ
the K850i successor will have 7.2MP, optical zoom and propably manual cover too, it may have UIQ but don't count on it, I give the UIQ one 25%
and if there's UIQ, therewill be two 7.2MP, one smart, the other idiot

Nono, I have heard that the rehoused k850 was canceled because k850 was so badly deleyed. Therefor the best thing se can do right now is to announce 7.2 mp phone in feb and release it in mid summer..

No need for those 7.2 Megapixels blah blah but perhaps SE should take attention of assigning Sony developers to build the K850 successor so that they would have first rate CCD sensor not the second rate CMOS Ericsson persist to use
- remember that all SE cam phones built by SE have CMOS sensors except for one - the S700 which was solely manufactured and designed by Sony itself, that's wht S700 has amazing features on it's generation

Any news about a W900i successor?
Thanks in advance for the replies.

and that's exactly why S700 was expensive too, wich relfects the low sales of it, peoples today missed the good old S700 days, as at that time they didn't get it why it cost more so they didn't buy it...

Coming back to the issue at hand, does anyone have any confirmation about the speculated Dec 12 event? At the moment, my sources haven't been informed of any such announcement.
Posted by goldenface
^^Mobile Review is the only source I know for that story.
Sony exec reignites PlayStation Phone rumours
Is Sony Ericsson working on a PlayStation Phone to take on Nokia's N-Gage? There have been rumours before, but the speculation has been refuelled by comments from Sony Computer Entertainment co-chief operating officer, Jim Ryan.
The Economic Times quotes him as saying, "The PlayStation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible."
However, the ET's story strangely suggests that this convergence is likely to happen by, in its words, "the phone being superimposed on the console, unlike camera phones where the camera was put into the phone".
What we think this means is that rather than a PS2 chip being stuck inside a Sony Ericsson mobile phone, it's more likely to be a mobile module integrated into the PSP. Although the fact that the Economic Times refers to "Nokia's Engage series" has us wondering just how reputable a source it is for this kind of gaming rumour.

I wasn't aware of that. There is also the rumour of a gaming type phone being annouced mid-feb although I know this will not be PS branded.

from MR at M-R
(a lot of UIQ is coming from Moto or from SE which has at least three new products...)
Posted by not_me
how about a non walkman branded really slim phone, which should be sold for about 229 Euros and be a competitor to nokia's 6300 which is really popular, personaly i dont care if it is just a redesign of w880i or w890i, though they should have released something like that early this year !!

Posted by bodeh6
I real hope that SE announces these 3 UIQ phones soon. People are starting to loose faith in SE smartphones. Their Entire 2007 lineup was basically rehashed versions of the 2006 lineup. People are loosing interest in their phones. My K790a is getting old and I need a new phone from SE but want a Smartphone (K850i doesn't have enough extras to justify the cost when I could get a N95-3 or N82).

There is probably going to be a 7.2mp phone in february(anouncement) acording to this:

[ http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=158235# ]
So no crappy rehoused k850 is going to see the day. (maybe a thing like K800->K770, BUT NOT LIKE K800->K810)
And it is probably going to be UIQ because of this: (an ad i found in sweden's largest newspaper for engineers)
Three times optical zoom is rumored but not confirmed (would be stupid to not include it) And wlan is also a thing a phone that is going to be one of sonyericsson's flagship phones next year must have..

@ xironghostx
1. - 2.4" is too small for touch screen (UIQ)
2.Why will SE go right to succesful of K850 and not anncounce a K850's redesign? does that mean K850 wasn't good for them ,that it didn't worth redesgin ?
3. How will look the design of the phone? similar to K850? because A200?
4. 7.2 MP? I don't care about MP ,I want bigger sensor than K850/K800 and it will nice also CCD.
I would be suprised if SE will anncounce K850's succesful in 3GSM/february.

Uiq doesn't need a phone with touchscreen to work, look at motorola z8.
Rehoused k850 was canceled because announcement of k850 was delayed like 2 months and release like 4.
Nope, no need for 7.2mp but it would sell, and SE needs to be the first with this so they don't loose all SE-fanboys..
(I agree with you that nice optics is way more important)
I guess noone have seen this phone (peterkay?) But I think it would look like the spy-pic with 3x optical zoom, 5mp and k800-like lenscover.

I believe they just want to keep up with the competition.
Posted by kreacher
I also think they should improve the quality of the sensor rather than adding pixels. 5 MP is more than enough.

Well, N95 didn't disturb them to release K810 in 3GSM .
@xironghostx
"because announcement of k850 was delayed like 2 months and release like 4."
Is that because K850's successor? Is that mean K850 was just warming/passage until the real thing?

the optical zoom is mentioned by:Bengt Stavenow

I would count k850 almost as the real thing because it got plenty of updates that k800 didn't have.
K810 on the other hand was made only to pass the time
K850 isn't the ultimate phone, but k870 (?) is for sure going to be that.
Posted by goldenface
The K850i, althought its their flagship cameraphone, is just the evolution of the K750i, K800i/K810i, in other words its mid-tier. We're yet to see 'the 'bomb'.

Oh yeah - didn't notice that thread
Anyway black/silver really does suit the k850 imo, and with that many photos its hard to believe they are not real so lets just hope it will be an official release
Posted by goldenface
Doesn't look too bad. I sort of prefered the Green version over the Blue but this is nice too.
Posted by rachizzle
gorgeous.

I hope they fix the build quality and camera issues before they release this one. Although i prefer the blue version.

They have actually two phones listed, which look like photoshops :

Yeah, the p3i looks like a photoshop for sure..
Posted by >500
went to update my k850 before, and when you choose what phone you wish to update, the black/silver k850 is shown in the pic, so i guess its genuine (though the pic looks black and white rather than actual black/silver) and all the other pics are in full colours, so i dont think its a mistake.... so as i thought, the black silver k850 will be official some time soon.
