thats what im told....and this is one of the reasons for the delay.
Posted by axxxr
That'll be news for sure!.....Where may i ask did you hear that from?
Posted by joebmc
Would that be a good or bad thing (as much as i like uiq i think it would be good, come on bill gates once you've taking over the phones the worlds yours
)
Posted by david1975
it might be a good thing what would be good is i thought there was a thread about se releasing three smart phones why not ahve one of each a symbian a windows and a uiq3 now that would be an unbeatable line up somehting for everyone
Posted by prachid
That is a most welcome news for all of us, the fans of SE phones. In order to cut R&D costs, SE has no altenatives except using MS 5.
It is true that there are comparable OS but Palm and Symbian seem to be at the end of the line of development. Sony has tried to develop its own chip called the Cell but still can not overcome the heat problems.
Now even Palm stated that MS 5 would be used in their products. Only Nokia is using Symbian but declared that it may use Linux also. Moto and Samsung use every available OS. So if SE still uses only Symbian OS, SE products will be no match to other manufacturers.
That is the right decision SE.

I hightly doubt that. Symbian came out of the Epoc operating system, which was developed by Ericsson. That would be a huge blow. The next Pxxx will run on the new Symbian 8 platform. We do not need another windows system on our phones. Who needs a crashing phone, when your computer does that for U?

i was speaking to this person who works in the company about all the handsets in 2005...
and he said that the reason why the p1000 has been delayed is because they might use windows mobile...
there might be 3-4 smart phones by sony ericsson...p1000 most likely in 2006
and he also said that sakura will be using a new screen technology
cheers

The good thing is with Windows Mobile we'll have plenty of useful applications than Symbian UIQ, whatever the version is.
One thing I don't like about UIQ is that limitation of useful softwares/applications availability, even if it is compared to Symbian series 60 or 80.
That's why I currently thinking about trading my P900 to O2 XDA II Mini.
Go SE, Windows Mobile 5 will be suitable for your next smartphone, whatever the name will be. I'll be waiting for that.

Windows mobile? What a dissappoinment that would be. One of the reasons I like the Pxx series is that it doesn't have Windows. I've had a P800, P900, and P910. It would be a shame not to be able to buy a P1000 because it has f***ing Windows on it.

Most of the people I see using a high end smartphone these days have a HP pda with gsm added in. Because:
- the IT boys in the company are easily convinced, those pda's are closely related to what they buy and work with
- for the user the Outlook experience on the phone is very close to what they see on the office computer
These Windows pda's and the blackberry are the main threaths to Symbian based smartphones.
IF SE gives up Symbian in the next p1000 it would be sad but marketingwise maybe the best bet.
Posted by govigov
Ok one windows version is ok. Since there are other smartphones too, let us hope one of those will be UIQ3.
Posted by mustafabay
Well there isn't going to be any P1000 this year, that's for sure. I'd like to see how UIQ3 is going to turn out first.

SE's hardware and design + WM5 is an unbeatable combination. I've been dreaming of it for 6 month now.
No one can beat the Borg (MSFT) when it comes to PIM sync with MS Exchange - that is a fact of life.
Posted by unique_1
Look technology is moving on and it looks like pda type phones are looking for a stable OS to run off which I think symbian is probably fine for the Pxxxx series - but Microsoft will be highly considered as they’re potentially making a real mark in the phone industry! I say stick with the old for now! So it keeps Microsoft on there toes to keep developing till SE really has no choice
Posted by prachid
Regardless of OS type, I want these features in smartphone that I will buy: VGA or QVGA main screen, Voice Command, Assisted GPS, TV Reception, Access to Active Sync, Hand Writing Recognition and a pletora of useful features. All of those can be achieved only by using MS 5. MS 5 will be unbeatable OS from this coming September.
Bill Gate said that "Symbian is not the enemy of Microsoft, but Nokia is". The implication is that MS 5's goal is to sink Symbian and in the end Nokia. SE has to evade this fate and switch to the use of MS 5.
"If you can not fight them, join them". This will be the logic of future SE.

Hmmm...sure would like to see how UIQ 3 turns out...
Posted by kooki
the new screen used in sakura is said to be somethin unique...
can be seen from all directions...
i personally HOPE that "sally" is a hand held pda...hense uiq3...
then the p910 "brother" on symbian and the "big one" with windows.
but what im told is that se are lookin at windows as a possability
Posted by waja800
Well, it will be good if SE releases 2 devices, one with UIQ and another with WM5. I'm now enjoying the best of both worlds with the P910i and the Xda II Mini...
Posted by tindo196
whatever is released im now convinced that windows mobile is a bet than my current p900

1st off EPOC wasnt developed by Ericsson - although they were the 1st to use it in a cellphone. Epoc was created by Psion (do you remember the clamshell PDA's?!!), then the OS was sold after creating a design of a cellphone with a sliding carbon based sheet (the prototype look-alike was used in that alien show created by Gene Roddenberry - of Star Trek fame)
MS is actually pretty good with cellular OS, a lot better than their OS for computers. I have issues with them being the dominant player in the wireless market; remember how bad websites were coded - many still are - before Mozilla browser's became popular?! I dont want to see videos only coded in wmv format for wireless transmission.

I don't mind if the next Pxxx series comes with WM5 as there will be more programs/games available, on the P910 we have got a version of MS office in it already so lets go the whole hog and have WM5
Posted by MominIslam
what ever sony are doin they are doing it for the best of the PXXXX future,, so lets just wait and see..
i dont mind new apps and stuff..
but i like the way uiq is, windows is gonna crash alot,, and viruses, are so easy to make for them
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
if they use windows I wont bother to buy one il change to a w800i or keep my p910i ive had over 3 windows phone and dont like the user interface atall
Posted by livestrong
so wen is the p1000 coming????
Posted by alexlt
Read thhe previous posts, wont's be a p100 until beginning of 2006. I really hope don't change Symbian for WM 5, or al teast release another phones with Symbian and choose which one has better sales
Posted by REO
