Sony Ericsson's plan is to move away from the standard “candybar" format for their latest camera phone and could adopt a design along the lines of Nokia’s N93 model.

ESATO NEWS

A patent filing from 2003 shows a device strikingly similar to the N93 (pictured below) with claims that it will have a multi directional hinge allowing the phone to be used in a variety of configurations.

The patent was filed before Nokia developed the N93 so it is surprising that there has not been any legal action by boys at Sony Ericsson.

Maybe they thought 4 years ago the design would never work but now they've seen Nokia and Moto (MPX300) in aciton they realise it does actually work..?

6 November 2003!! Only if they didn't hold back and manufactured the design. Most people surely think it's a Nokia concept. Pity.

We must remember that the above diagrams are for illustration purposes only. We musn't read too much into it.

I don't quite understand what the creator of the original article is getting at.

The N93 has exactly the same form-factor as the SO903i in Japan which was announced weeks ago so to say is to launch a phone like the N93 means nothing as it already has done so. The dual hinged SO903i.

But the Premini is tiny and the SO902 isn't big at all.

So to say all Japanese phones are big is a bit of a sweeping generalisation.

Especially when you have the Nokia N93 ripping great big holes in people pockets.

You mean like compensation for what? Dropping bombs on them during the war? Is that supposed to be funny?
