@PK
Is it possible for you to make a mini-review after P5i is announced? Please check before though, because some of the phones, SE won't allow any reviews soon after announcement yet, so I don't want to ruin your job. I don't know why, may be so they could modify it later, but is it possible?
@kalbekke
The possibility that SE is sometimes behind some of the fuss is 100%. It's a marketing strategy to get both user's feedback and to see if other companies have any reactions toward a certain handset.(My old friend told me this)
Though, sometimes some phones's spyshot came out when the prototype was already thrown away LOL(such as K850i). If a funny story, but K850i's proto was long gone before the pictures leaked, but I guess the feedback was warm welcome, so SE brought it back from the grave.(Same info from the same friend)

Hm.... SE could put Carl Zeiss lenses in their mobiles, because Sony already uses CZ in their digi-cams.
they already have it in their k850...well, theres always a reason....
are you sure, because i dont think its true
They don't have any CZ lenses, and just to make this clear, the lenses are NOT from CZ, they're just "certified" by CZ (meaning absolutely nothing).
ahh..thanks for the clarification..did not know that....

With all the hype generated last week about the new smartphone, partially fanned by seeing a photo *from* the device with the P5i name in the JPEG details, I certainly hope that there is an announcement this week.
What does worry me though is the potential launch time frame. I mean if PK and others have been using and testing a P5i phone, then why take another 6 months before they start shipping it?
I know traditionally
have always taken several months from a product being announced, to the phone actually appearing in the stores but 6 months is beginning to smell like the P990i fiasco.
But that doesn't make sense either as the likes of PK and others have hinted the device is very good, stable, quick, etc... so why the long delay?
At this point these are only rumours so the shipping date may actually be much sooner (we can hope).
Having skipped the P990i and having almost purchased the P1i (twice, long story) I'm really looking forward to a new, market leading smartphone from
as my P900 died so long ago and I've made do with a candybar phone for too long

No - and there are some VERY interesting pictures there. The first could well be maria, while the second is close to what we've seen here but with a few interesting differences...
Working link here - http://mobile.163.com/07/1108/10/3SP6KFGV0011179O.html
Note the little arrow icon in the top left of the first screen shot - just like the one in UIQ3 now..

It is working if you add only "http://"
It shows a concept made by SE cz
Nothing really new.

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah they're just concepts. If you look at the tops of the pictures, they both say "P5i", but they can't both be P5is!
They also have a photo of an Esato forum post stating that the name will be P5i, and above that is one of my posts!

NOT GOOD
According to The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, there will be NO ANNOUNCEMENT on November 15th. Infact, he cited that, Aldo Ligouri, Head of Global Communications & PR at Sony Ericsson, replied :
"Thanks for the additional information, but I’ve done a search and can confirm that we have no plans to make any new product announcement in November. What we announced last week, on the 6th, is the last product announcement we’ll be making this year. All Sony Ericsson product announcements, regardless of their nature, are handled and co-ordinated by my group in London. I don’t know where your source has heard this information but it’s not true"
Heh... Looking at the situation right now, we have about a month and a half to end this 2007. If SE does not plan to announce new stuff this month, maybe they will do after new year... who knows...??? "

SUCKS
i wanted to see this phone soooo bad
Posted by londong
Boo hoo, and how many people kept checking this post in anticipation.?!
Well PK probably wont even get his P5i proto back any more either so that means no pics whatsoever.
Back to dreamland and compromised solutions from SE.
How many foolios will end up buying the Iphone cus of this new news? Not me but probably loads
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
@pimp123:
That article doesn't really tell us anything new from whats been posted here earlier.
Nice try though
Posted by jaykay
Russian well-known source mobile-review.com has written that so-awaited announcement on November 15th is most likely to be cancelled..
I assume we are not going to see an official announcement next P-series phone up until next year.
Posted by PeterKay
Still won't get the I-phone
If it's not announced on the 15th of November, then it shouldn't be too far off in all honesty. As mentioned a day or two back
can change dates whenever they can and thats what they've done!!
Posted by jayce
It's disappointing to read the announcement has been pushed back but slightly more encouraging based on my earlier post.
Personally I'd rather see the announcement and only have to wait 2-3 months for the product to start shipping, than have 6 or more months of anticipation.
Back to the regular job

Yeah...it's very likely to be delayed. The announcement will take place maybe one or two weeks later as assumed.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Funny how in this thread one piece of news can stretch across several pages and be quoted and re-quoted from several different sources. Seems to be the only reason this thread got to be so long.
Posted by Sliderse
Oh Come on. Its not pointless at all.
65 pages of people in more of a frenzy than Sharks feeding.
Its entertaining to say the least.
Posted by PeterKay
no harm in waiting a week or 2!
to be honest, the sooner they announce it the better as they are aware that the other manufactures in the industry are pulling the strings with high end devices so why should
fall behind?
Maybe
have something up their sleeves!! another few products will be announced at the same time which can explain the delay?
Posted by jaykay
Delays in announcement are quite often a signal to delays in actual launch of sales so I'm guessing mid summer is the only time we can get our hands on this yummy device.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Does that wink suggest something? (oh god, i might be fuelling more frenzy by asking this)
Posted by thefanboy
pk,
I understand your situation. I guess you can answer this, very subjective....
How did you feel when you saw p5i for very first time...please narrate....so that we can have something interesting to read until the real announcement....

I felt honoured in all honesty as i did with the P700 (P1i)
This particular device was different in many ways though, new concept, better UI and GPS integrated and much more, so to see a new toy like this is unexplainable.
One you see the device yourselves, you'll know what i mean.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I think he meant make it a long, drawn out explanation so that we have something to read until the announcement. Hahahahaha

if P5 will be available, i think delaying the anoucement date can have some good things also. maybe u can offer more features as they will know more abt the additional features offered by the competitors..
very sad... but hoping it happned for some good only..hehe
Posted by PeterKay
Adding more features sounds interesting, reason i say this is the P5i which i had with me has still not come back!! maybe something new is being implemented to the device and that would exlain the delay of the announcement!
Posted by >500
delayed announcements earlier this year.... Announcements where we knew what phones were being announced, and the specs... But when the announcement finally came, the phones were the same. Nothing changed. So the P5 might go back to PK with different things, or it may not....
Posted by PeterKay
Oooh, i think it will have a change!!
But what? i don't know
Posted by thefanboy
pk,
thanks a ton, my excitement is still more higher now.......just cant wait !!!
Posted by bider
So we still don't know if the announcement is going to take place this year?
Posted by masseur
if you read the last couple of pages its clear that their is some doubt over any further announcements this year
Posted by thefanboy
pk,
one more subjective stuff,
after the product announcement, do you think it will create frenzy on the date of debut ? Wud ppl wait for it in queue ? I know this is a bit crazy question
, but pls comment...
Posted by doministry
Remember all that 15th November was not confirmed by anybody officially, it was a rumour itself.
Posted by Pierke
As far as i'm concerned, everything discussed in this forum is based on rumours.

well... this is the rumours forum...
and thats a fact, not a rumour

Just to convince the rest of the people that the pictures of the new UI are really intended for Sony Ericsson devices
