Wonder if it'll be as thick as the Z600... Exciting!

This one look very good which I think many anti Z600 can't argue about.

the thing I notice is that the screen looks tiny compared to what they could have put in there

it does

Also the keypad design sort of reminds me of the z200..... gotta say I don't particularly like it.

There will still be ppl saying it's think no matter what it's size really will be just for the sake of argueing


The screen deffo could've been a bit bigger imho...

I'm also a bit torn on this design. I will have to see more photos before I decide.

i guess it is meant for the middle market, unlike the Z600, which is target at the higher end, that's why the design is more youthful and less solemn

Nice looking phone, with good features and at last (!!!): EDGE (just to all these people who argued earlier there is no EDGE etc what will you say now SE has a phone that supports it?!? ).

But note this:

Availability Q3 2004, in Americas only

It's awesome ! This is the kind of design that is winning in many areas at the moment with the Samsung e700 in the fore front.
But this SE is slightly thinner and more "sexy". With better cam.
If they can produce it in enough numbers it would steal the Samsung crowd. (the e700 is a top 5 seller in Sweden)

I am dissapointed it's not for europe Please launch that design here!

Man.... the screen is much smaller than I would have preferred it to be. A screen size of the Z600 would be just nice...

my guess is the screen is small-ish because the aerial is located in the same half of the phone.

nice hybrid of the z200 and z600 - (almost) wish i'd waited.
