Hi!
I've searced everywhere but found nothing, except erroneous speculation (like the pictures of the so called z1020). Can someone who knows something just give us some hints of what to expect of the next 3G-phone from SE, and WHEN?
Thanks
/J

ok, I'll try to answer myself...
In Eldar's russian
review of the z1010 on mobile-review he mentions autumn for a new 3G-phone and elsewhere I've seen someone write that an "amazing" SE 3G-phone is gonna be released in 2004...
Let's hope for the best.
/J

um would that be the s700?
Posted by bico
No, it wouldn't. The reason is that the SE S700 is not a 3G phone.
Posted by riflogic
now now, don't start topics about the next 3G handsets being released by
. Let them release the 1st one first and then look forward

@riflogic
c'mon, the Z1010 has been out quite a while here in
Sweden. I think it's too big and I'm not that fond of clam shells. My T610 has been a terrific phone for more than a year now, but it's time to power up.
Besides, this is a rumor thread

fair enough
Posted by scotsboyuk
It would be logical for SE to release another 3G phone this year, for several reasons. The z1010 has been delayed so many times that it should have been out long before now, thus SE should have been working on a better model for some time now. 3G has only just started to take off and more and more networks are implementing 3G services; in the UK all of the mobile networks should be offering 3G services by the end of this year, thus making is very profitable and therefore sensible for SE to bring out another 3G phone. Since this is the early stage of 3G SE will have a good chance of cornering a larger section of the market if they are able to release at least a couple of quality products early on.
I would be very surprised if SE doesn’t release at least one 3G handset in addition to the z1010 by the end of this year; the market is screaming out for quality products with reliable performance, qualities, which SE embody very well.
Posted by Krubach
Yes. I totally agree. It's a great chance for
to gain some market share in new areas (3G in this case)
Posted by lazarini
Yes but will they do it there is no sign of new headset will be released ... anyway i will not go to 3g as long the coverage changes in our country (now 25-30%) and even better i dont live in slovenia any more since now im a new born Slovak and im in Bratislava but here even dont support 3g so ill just get a k700 when it comes out here and then course the almighty s700 witch really looks sweet .
regards laz

I wouldn't have thought 3G would become the 'main' standard for at least another year yet, and more likely two or three years, as people will take time in upgrading to it. GSM is still very alive and kicking and this is why we see a continued stream of very good GSM phones being released.
I would have thought that SE would want to keep their cards close to their chests with any new releases since the z1010 has been known for a year or so now, they will be looking to take the 3G market by surprise in my opinion.

Next SE 3G UMTS is P1000 whit 2 megapixls? :-l
Posted by jack00
would it be possible to tell us some details about the phone - if you like it, if its large, the features ...
Posted by marik
this 'someone'
should write some sort of review for the phone also. not some long speech but enough to start more speculations and rumours 
Posted by bart
i think, the dude who has a SE 3G phone at the office. will have the viola.
its nice, but nothing special. clamshell, 1.3MP cam (read the rumor pages on my site).
SE is taking it slow into 3G and the are right. not much demand right now.
Posted by MikLSP
I have seen a pic of a mystery SE clamshell. It's silver & black with a 1.3MP cam that seems to rotate in the centre of the hinge.
@ bart
Would this be the one you know of (viola)
Posted by bart
yes thats the viola. biggest problem with it in my eyes (for now) is that its for vodaphone only.
the biggest thing that i really like to know is how many mAh the BST-33 has (thats the new battery for the viola, its also diffirently build, abit like nokia batteries, no more hard plastic surrounding the battery)
Posted by MikLSP
Yeah the pic I saw had a Voda logo on it
I suppose it'll have their awful menu! 
Does the S700 have a new battery type to? I saw a picture & it looked different to the normal black ones.
Posted by umarino
The phone u have seen is not the same i have. Guys i have a great surprise for u. It is not a joke!
Posted by marik
'i have a great suprise for you'? that sounds like somethin a guy would tell his wife on their wedding night.......
Posted by umarino
:-):-):-):-)
Posted by ts_666
me thinks the SE NDA police will be here shortly...
Posted by bart
strange that umarino just joined esato and has got some nice news. well all i can say is, proof it buddy
Posted by ts_666
@bart
not strange, but smart, and notice he uses a t68i to post, far harder to trace than a pc i presume.
Posted by bart
ah well i have all good hopes up. lets see what he makes of it.
yea if it was a pc it would take 5min to trace him
but a phone, well
Posted by marik
well we'll find out exactly wat this guy has to show us tommorow. it it bogus then its....bogus. if its real then....hey!!!
Posted by MikLSP
OK, well it's 9 Aug '04!
We're waiting.........
BTW, I was sent this in PM:

Now it's not that I don't believe you but if u've GOT a phone that supposedly doesn't exist yet, you could just take a live pic of it!
If u can get hold of that u could get a cheap camera/cam phone to take a pic or even use this 'Z1020s' camera & a mirror!
So let's wait & see.............
don't let us down now!

I want to see more pictures
Posted by themarques
He seems to say it is not the pic of the Z1020 with the voda-logo. I guess time can only tell, I am sure there are some proto-types on the move. SE is not going to sit back and not release anything just because the Z1010 was not officially released all over the world. I am sure they have something, I guess the question is does this guy have anything new to show us or is it some phone from DOCOMO OR AU?
Posted by MikLSP
Yes, that is the pic I have of the phone named 'viola' but whether this is the same as Z1020 or not I don't know.
And this is the phone which this guy said he isn't talking about, so..........
WHERE ARE YOU eh!?!
Posted by whentheleveebreaks
i hope it isnt that one as its really ugly IMHO
Posted by umarino

Why did you say this when it is in fact the exact same phone we were talking about?
Thanks for posting more pics though but unlucky for me I can't see them!
Just gettin that STUPID "Please Login To View This Image"
What's really annoying is I can see the other pic posted earlier just not these new ones!
Posted by mmxx

can you post some closeup picture of the front.
TNX for other pictures!
Posted by ts_666
