what does it matter?.....




THANK YOU!
Someone who doesn't have a stupid amount of time on their hands to waste! What's in a name? You can call the X1 the X100000000 if you feel like it, but it will still be the same thing :S

@ M. Oli:

Hmmn I actually like the C905 design, but am put off by the bulge where the camera is. Of course, that was not a design choice but rather a feature choice to fit all the camera internals and the flash's capacitor. If it didn't have that, and wasn't so thick, I would say its an excellent design.

I like the way the G705 looks, for the most part, the only thing I see SE getting wrong time and time again is the navigation cluster. I have pretty slim fingers, but still I find all these buttons too tiny! On A100 phones it is fine, but A200 ones have the call/end keys (why can't they be a single key, or better yet not be there at all, since the phone is just as practical without them IMO, the softkey option does the job) aswell and that makes it too messy. The C905 has it right there, so did the W910. Clean and functional.

Oh W890 is hideous to me- too rounded and tingy in almost every way :S Couldn't press the right keys, they were too small.

I agree with you, the future of SE looks bleak- if you do not consider the X1, which is an extremely attractive design (well, the back is abit lacking, but its fine). Hopefully at least the high ends will take similar forms, shapes and looks as this. I used to always say SE had the best looking designs, but lately that hasn't been true. Samsung, LG and even *dare I say it?* N*kia have some more attractive phones. Even the T series, the one that is meant to look especially good- looks the same as everything else. Too much of the copy-paste technique? Absolutley. And then some.

Hmm, what's in a name?
Well for one, time was spent on making a nomenclature to name the SE phones according to their spec ranges and formfactor. So i'm thinking this must some how have significance...Besides, it's always nice trying to guess some stuff, well I should think so, it's not like the pages on Esato are finishing up...But hey, just my two cents.

I found these unconfirmed images which relate to a patent filed in November 2007.



The flip folds down, underneath and around to the back to reveal a full touch screen. The source page links it to the SO907i.

This month - exact date not known. Quarterly figures are also being annouced this month.

@Angello

The above flip I found when searching for images of the SO907i. Of course it would be too much to ask if you (or anyone) could confirm if something like this will be for European realease.

That phone looks like a P series phone . What if SE, releases the P version of that? That would be kool, however, that pic still looks ugly.

Agree! That is a P series going through evolution, definitely!

I would buy it the moment it comes out provided the specs are excellent!
Hell, why don't they give us this thing with the new SF OS? I hope that's the whole idea, only thing is they should make the design much more appealing than that.

That is definitely interersting.

Bring back the P series design, please!
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009
