Posted by Phoner
Good luck! Looks like the design of the first page will be great

Posted by goldenface
Thanks, I'm gonna have to brush up on my coding skills ha ha, but I'll iron everything else eventually, there are a few bugs such as internal links.

BTW, if any of the details in the first post are incorrect then please let me know. I just want to stress that this thread is a one stop stop for the current rumours circulating and nothing is set in concrete of course until the phones and devices are announced.

Posted by tranced
Something I want to point out in this very new thread is that we need to keep the order, keep it clean and very informative. We don't need members moaning about why there aren't new leaks. We don't need to know whether you are an insider or not. We are just here to read and to comment and contribute with the object of this thread.

For the good sake of this thread I will ask you to be polite and logical with the replies you're going to make here

I want to thank goldenface for riding this horse once again. Good luck boy and I know you will do a good job. Do not hesitate when you need a little help from us regarding coding.

Roll on leaks!

MS430 is already official: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1ssS7xDHAc

Posted by tranced
But it has no press release

This was mentioned in the previous portfolio thread by juris15 though.

Posted by Lollylost100
Z1 will have MSM7230 not MSM8655.

@tranced Maybe it wasn't important enough, but if it's on their youtube and their site (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ms430?cc=nl&lc=nl) i bet you can call it official

Posted by goldenface
Thanks Lolly, updated, and thanks for creating the leader board on the first post too.

Posted by tranced
@domipost: oh well. So it's not a rumour then.

Looking forward to the next year ahead! Good luck with it Goldenface.

Posted by tranced
@zub: indeed it does.

Posted by zub
yeah i thought it had some useful info too. im a bit disappointed though at the touch analog sticks, still think physical sticks would've been a much better option. but hey who knows, it might work out good in the end.


Posted by synn
The scrolling was uncharacteristically smooth for Android. Is that the GPU accelerated UI of 2.3 or is it some under the hood magic from SE?

Either way, I like it.

Good luck on this thread and hopefully we'll rock this year! can we get a let's go SE?

May this year be good for and this thread be blessed with superb goodies from .

If anyone can think of any significant rumours or developments I might have missed from the 2010 thread then let me know.

Posted by Lollylost100
You forgot the codenames/processor info I gave out.

Posted by goldenface
PM.

Just thought I'd post the video to the speaker stand. Very nice design is you ask me although it's puzzling how it's not been officially announced yet.

There have been press releases in EVERY month this year apart from November, in fact there hasn't been one for six weeks. Is this an indication of something major coming or is it an indication of a chaotic marketing department. Mmmm [rubs chin]

AFAIK, preparing several phones for 2011, some of them will be released in 1H ( 6 ones IIRC )...

most are Android based and few ( 2 probably ) are WP7...

and mentioning WP7 is rumoured to postponed the first gen. duo to restriction MS made to these devices.. including custom interfaces... so will only compete in Phone spec., design and price and accourding to this rumour source these are the aspect's that don't want to compete on it

Posted by sambouka
Just on a side note :
Zeus is in Greek mythology : the "Father of Gods and men".
Since the PS phone seems to have Zeus as a code name, I find it a good move from SE, to leek a "spy video" from Greece !
Only hope this phone will be as godly as the real Zeus


Posted by goldenface
Plus I doubt they imagine they can capture the 'wider gaming market' with just one device running on one gaming ecosystem. I'm expecting a lot more gaming flavoured gadgets from them.

Posted by pauvincent
I hope their would be a official news soon on any of the rumored phones its driving me crazy by just waiting and no official word

Posted by MrCash
guys , as lollylost100 and ELdar said , ANZU will run on MSM7230

does that 1 support HDMI port ???

It's present on the Anzu and Anzu has an HDMI port, so yes.

Posted by goldenface
I doubt we'll see the Z1 announced on the December the 9th. It's my guess that they'll announce the Z system or some sort of concept.

If they were going to announce a fully fledged gaming phone I'd expect more of a build up to the event, it is very highly anticipated after all.

Posted by Lollylost100
or the event invitation is fake .

Posted by goldenface
More than likely - the amount of fake stuff around the internet is mind-boggling. No, if they announced the Z1 next week, they'd find it hard to make a lot of noise about it at MWC as it it would have all been done already. They need to drop the Z1 right on us the night before MWC opens and then demo it at the event itself. That's the way to do it.

Posted by juris15
but announcing it before christmas makes some people stop buying other things and save some money for it...
[ This Message was edited by: juris15 on 2010-12-02 20:43 ]


Posted by zub
but you would assume the z1 would actually be released by feb/march of 2011. if the reveal is at MWC, it'll mean another 3-6 months for release, by which time the hardware would be horribly under par with the then competition.
[ This Message was edited by: zub on 2010-12-02 21:38 ]


Posted by motvikt
Pretty sure SE has changed their announce-->release time after all the criticism. Now its probably just a month or so

Posted by pauvincent
my guest is that IF their would be any announcement on the 9th it would be just a teaser the real thing will be on feb 2011 can tease until the mwc about the psp phone bcoz no one other compny can counter act that gaming device between now to feb. Then again the psp teaser could just be a smoke screen to hide something bigger come the mwc
