Are we lucky
Nah just joking. We'll see.
Ppl there's no way PK would still be here on this thread if he had nothing to do with the P5i. Noone would bother keeping up with 180 odd pages for a joke or to trick people. Youve believed him up to now so just stay with it for a few more days and find out. If it wasnt true, at least we will know, and, if it was all a big joke, we will find out where Mr PK lives and pay him an ever so friendly visit
Nah but there must be something to these rumours if there are contributions from PK, the trusted Mizzle, and many others here and there.

@Tigershark42, you seem to be a understanding person
Wish others had the faith!

Yes or No?

Rafalson stop stirring shit up for no reason, PK had the phone.
Anyway PK can you confirm if the intended price is going to be close to the rumored 700 Euro tag? IMO It shouldnt be more than whatever the top end Nokia flagship is. These are always around £450 - 500. Is this price range possible?
And the answer to your question, of course we want you to keep posting. Ignore the noobs PK you are very much appreciated over here.

1- He wont tell you that. Cant. No way.
2- That depends on how it compares to Nokia's flagship featurewise.
If much better, then more costly. If not as feature packed, then its probably cheaper. From the specs given, they should be very close. The figure Ive heard floating around (Rumour OFC is £400-£500). If it is that expenisive, expect it to be amazing. Hopefully though we somehow get better value and it ends up being cheaper AND better
. This is doubtful when it comes to flagships I'm afraid.[ This Message was edited by: Tigershark42 on 2008-02-05 21:45 ]

thanx bav
The noobs will be ignored, price tag is too early to call but i can't see it being under £450 to start with, not with these shit hot features.
Posted by Lunion
I was expecting more of the £500-£600 mark myself from what i have been reading about it!
Posted by laurenke01
Frankly, PK's and Mizzle's reputations precede them and I'm inclined to believe whatever they say, though with the understanding stuff can change at a moment's notice and that they're legally not allowed to tell us all they know.
Also, if on the outside chance Paris is not announced next week, it will not be PK's or Mizzle's fault this did not happen. They just report what they can. It's up to SE to actually push product.
Furthermore, the SE rumor mill is probably one of the most active I've seen on the Internet, and it's due to people like PK and Mizzle who keep it going. Sure, some of it's cliche and redundant, but if it weren't for them, we'd all be more in the dark than we already are.

£450 would be a bargin imo. To be honest if it does incorporate the features rumored then it has every right to sel for £525. Im sure it will start at something stupid like £600 but then it should drop and level of around £475 - £500.
To be honest Nokia s60 high end phones always tend to hold their prices. Even the N93i is still £350, SE smartphones tend to depreciate really quickly which is a good thing but I cant see that happening with the P5, not unless SE completely mess it up like they did with the P990.

@bav, that price tag is just my opinion. Could be a lot higher but we won't know till a good few months.

@PK .. i know it's a VERY feature packed phone.
But is it true it washes the dishes and takes the dog for a walk?

Leaked images do not necessarily beget an announcement. I don't recall seeing any leaked images for the W760i or the W350i, yet those were obviously announced

Yeah the target price isn't so bad but as long as they don't repeat the 990 debacle.
PK anything on any new Bluetooths as well? or anything else? Or just phones to be announced?
Posted by abinge05
@PK
Will you be able to post pictures of the early prototype that you had in the fall, before the makeover? It would be interesting to see the difference, once it's announced of course.

As great as this phone is, I don't see myself justifying a $900+ USD price tag for, when it comes down to it, a phone. An awesome phone, yes. But still, a phone.
I should be upgrading my home instead with that kind of money! haha.
I hope SE prices it lower so I can afford it and not feel horrible spending the money.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Neither can I. Going by those estimates, it would be at least NZ $1300 (possibly closer to $1600) on release here, which is way too much. Only the S700i topped $1300 out of any SE phone here in New Zealand a few years back, and that was $1599 and nobody bought it.

There are always leaks...... it's part of the process.
In order to get the press to publicise for you, you drop them a teaser a few days before, so they turn up to the press conference. Expect high quality pictures and no specs, or low quality pictures and some specs to be released, if only to ensure the press conference is well attended.
As for pricing, I think now that the iphone is available, we will see all manufacturers shift towards a pay up front AND contract tie in model as Apple have used. Most people in Consumer Electronics realise that with R&D Costs going up and price erosion bringing hardware prices down, the extra money is in services. Hence apples visual voicemail and associated iphone apps being tied into a revenue sharing agreement.
Realistically this means that P** could be a £600 phone sim free, with a £300 outlay and an 18 month subscription for those that want to go contract.
The iphone is £269/£329 + 18 month contract after all..............
Wonder what SE's killer app/service on P** will be?

Well, I never claimed I have a perfect memory.
Still, 1 day before the announcement (CES was Jan 7) isn't really a "leak" in my book.

Unfortunately, the US won't offer the Pnext with any kind of contract since the only two possibilities are ATT and Tmobile. ATT already has a contract with apple and tmobile, generally sucks. haha. At least it does in my area. the signal is horrible. So I'll have to be looking for Pnext sim free. Which, is likely to be well over my budget! Sad, but it looks like I'll have to wait until the price drops.

Press stop...People during 3GSM...SE will present Tyra and Josephine (within their smarphones line)...Tyra has 5Mp and Wlan while Jospehine have 3,2 MP and no Wlan...both will be equiped with a numerical keyboard...Paris and Beibei will not be presented...They will be shown for the world within 4-5 months...They will also stop us the names M,W and P...Im not sure if Xperia is the correct thing...
Posted by m-one
Right Tommy
There will be a mass of new phones - around 10 to be more precise.
But Beibei and Paris aren't on my list as well.
Beibei and Paris are expected to be lauched in Q4, so I guess we'll see them in November
Tyra and Josephine belong to the new "Compact Touch Series"
As well as Emilie and Beibei will...but later this year

So what Tommy & M-one are both saying is that the P5i is NOT going to be released until November THIS year? Is that freakn crazy for SE to do or what?!

If you look carefully you will probably see that this "imagined phone" will do the same thing in one year, what the nokia n810 can do RIGHT NOW!
+the linux OS

Hello, first post.
I am on my 4th SE phone and always prefer them to other makes. However, my contract will be up in a couple of months and I've been looking at the O2 XDA Orbit 2.
Anyone think I should avoid it and wait a few months for the P5I? The O2 phone only has a 3mp camera, but apart from that it seems a good phone.
Regards
morris8371
Posted by tesssst
if by few months you mean 10-12 - yeah sure go ahead, there will be planty of phones by that time
Posted by GTommy
Very sure about the smartphones...Tyra and Josephine...
Paris, Emelie and Beibei are not mature yet for the market...They are currently tested within SE...They represent a new platform for SE
Allthough I had Beibei in my hand I can say it didnt feel ready for the market...Josephine was nice...I bit smaller that current smartphones from SE...But not as small as W880
Posted by stevevalo
@GTommy
When will these phones hit the market?
Posted by XPHCTOC
What the Germans say.
The new serie (G) will be used for Compact Touch Series
Tyra (G900i)
• 2,X"- Touchscreen (probably it'll have a 2,6" screen)
• WLAN
• 5 Megapixel
- Josephine (G700i)
• 2,X"- Touchscreen (probably also a 2,6" screen)
• 3,2 Megapixel
Whithout WLAN!
http://www.se-world.info/thre[....]hine-G700i-amp-Tyra-G900i.html for those who understand German
so Josephine = G700 and Tyra = G900? What do you think about it?
Madonna seems to be the sister model of P5 *-)
It seems that nobody really knows what will happen on Sunday.

the problem is nobody knows exactly how many phones will be announced....
i think if it will be 5 then there is no chance of seeing P5(or whatever the name is)
Posted by PeterKay
The next P series will not be labelled P5i.
Posted by chombos1
the name does not matter PK.... if the name is G900... it's fine. but the question is: is G900 the model that everyone is waiting for(Pnext)?
btw. if G900 is the picture that mizzle posted... i am disappointed from now.!
but now we have no choice but to wait...

The connection was made between Tyra and G900, had nothing to do with Paris, "P5".
