@plankgatan

The SO905iCS will not be released here in Europe or indeed outside of Japan - it wont even take a regular SIM card, it requires a 'jailbreak' - a friend of mine who is a designer for Sony Ericsson has confirmed this - sorry Guys!

"The Japanese always seem to get the best technology and it's a shame that the NTT DoCoMo SO905iCS will never make it globally. Still, Sony Ericsson has an alternative for everyone in the shape of its K850i Cyber-shot mobile phone, which should be more than enough to make up for it."

sorry bud... it wont go anywhere globally other then japan...

I too think it would be a bit on the thick side for European tastes AND it would be very pricey too.

Yeah, it'd way too thick for people to accept in places other than Japan. I wouldn't mind since it's as thick as my old W900i.

It would suffer the same fate as W900 did.

I never had a problem with the W900i / S700i and I would be prepared to sacrifice size if the optics and other feature were also to be improved.

Exactly, Goldenface! Some people care more about what a device can do, as opposed to what it looks like.......

Mentioning no names, I can think of a ~20mm thick phone doing rather well right now......

yeah but they are mostly, or all Nokia. People expect SE to bring small, stylish phones.

Samsung G600/G800 - sacrificed size for ability(why they're not U series)

K850 - same(~17mm thick)

LG KU990 - same(~15mm)

Most people realise that a decent camphone needs a decent sized sensor/lens assembly, and hence, will not be so 'small'......
...and I for one, expect SE to bring high performance before they worry about making a device diminutive......

Not sure if the SO905i and SO905iCS use the same camera but there are some samples of the former's on flickr of which I am unable to post because of work restrictions.
