The sixth of November seems to be the big date. A swedish magazine mentions it today. "New Walkman phones and new strategies in the entertainment area..." The picture is from a SE teaser but it doesnt say where they got the teaser from.

Just waiting on the full specs of the two upcoming NTTDoCoMo handsets. The SO905iCS seems to be packing some punch.

Now that's a phone worthy of CS name(assuming the imaging is better than 910SH, etc...)...I bet SE Japan are crying(with laughter) at K850......
I'm sure we'll get the hardware...albeit in a year's time(if not longer)......

@n3o
I'm working on it.
@Aware
Has there been more than one occasion when Japanese hardware has found its way to these shores? 
Sharp seem to be the only company that has done so in the past, but the demands of the Japanese and Western markets are so markedly different, they would have to design a completely different range of phones, which is a huge venture for a company. Sharp's big clamshells weren't a huge success for the company, even though they were very capable.

Nice technical specification:
5Mpix + 3optical zoom
VGA 480x864
150g
Size 113x50x24 mm
I think that’s new Cyber-Shot …K900i (possible only 2008 Q3)

Sharp's big clamshells weren't a huge success for the company, even though they were very capable.
Sharp failed, because of Vodafone's awful marketing(if 903SH was only available on £50+ tarrifs, who's gonna get it?? And no Paygo prices, like they offer now, either), and the british public's reluctance to pay for the technology they actually want('I want a free phone!!!' Ungrateful *@^£$*&ers). I moaned to O2 about 903SH actually, but they're no better...... 
1) Everyone knows about V802SE/V800/Z800(incidentally the only SE EVER to support organic animated themes)...don't forget though, that W900 was designed/built there, even though it wasn't marketed there(Japan didn't have Walkman at the time, I don't know whether they'd have fallen for the branding trick back then)...and of course, more recently, W880 was designed(and built?) in Japan, too......
I just cannot get hold of an SO902i(3mp candybar) to compare to K800, but I believe to this day, that they share at least some hardware, I just can't prove it......
And the 904SH sitting in front of me right now just rubs in the sad state of our non-japanese handsets/capabilties - I'd run it tomorrow(and sod all this 5mp overrated crap), if there were only a way to unlock it......

SE is going to fail us again!!
From mobile-review .com moderator :
"6th of November is true date for the announcement. but don't expect sth exiting... 3 walkman phones, one mid-to-high-end and two cheap ones."
If it's true Sonyericsson future is uncertain.. with iphone already on the market!

No, stopped waiting, I stumped up a small fortune and called both Softbank(COMPLETE waste of time and money), and Sharp UK(only marginally less so). Figured then that no point trying any more(especially as xumdeo had reported unlockers frying phones every time they tried unlock). It works, it shows up every other phone as the incompetent devices they are, it's still the first-ever VGA screened(non-smart) phone, and SE(or really anyone else, tbh) still can't match it, fast approaching 2 years later......
No-one who sees it can remain quiet, that's for sure! Maybe I'll get a TurboSim......
Sorry to be OT

WTF, wow!
Why can't SE sell great phones here, too? Like the ones in Japan!
Makes no sense.
