Could this be the new 2 Megapixel Sony Ericsson Cybershot Phone?

Image removed due to problems for the insider

Not quite sure at this stage if this is genuine or not,but in esato forums pictures have been posted of a new Cybershot branded 2 Megapixel Phone,by the looks of it,seems to be a entry level Cybershot device.As you can see from the pictures below the layout of the phone seems rather different from what normally expect from a Sony Ericsson of this class.The chrome lens cover on the back of the device seem rather nice,aswell as the keypad.will keep you posted on any official announcement. thanks:chrstphr source:secentral

Balls.

Oh yes it may be low-end, but what is distinctively Cybershot if it's 2mp?

I can hear the wind of out-dated technology. You're phones already do this, SE.

Develop the camera and drop off other features for the low end, otherwise stop cheapening the Cybershot brand.

JonathanMorris, im sorry but its not quite like that..
The disappointment towards SE comes among other things from their marketing and design. Its not just low and mid end phones. In the past SE was able to release such kind of models and still release mid/high end phones which were top notch and very competitive. The high end market doesnt sell as many products but it has the biggest market share in terms of revenue, and thats more important than units sold, not to mention that it is a much more loyal market. SE is neglecting that market not only cause of fewer changes in models but also because is not moving gradually like consumers would expect and that leads to misunderstanding and mistrust.
I bet u no one here would get upset at a new more advanced model, quite the contrary. We are all hoping for SE to grow we just think that its taking a direction we dont appreciate and we are the ones who actually buy its phones for years. New buyers my come now but we are the ones who´d still be buying SE in the future, and we are the market with the best cost/profit ratio.
For instance, this low end cybershot phone may attract some new buyers but it hurts the view of high quality and futuristic that the cybershot brand had.
SE is playing cheap and creating a cheap image. If it continues like that it will only sell products according to its image, and it will never start competing against the big boys.

JonathanMorris very well said mate!

I would like to echo JonathanMorris's comments below. Some people need to grow up and get a life. If you don't like SE selling mid to low market phones, then just don't buy them.
On 15 Oct 19:26 JonathanMorris wrote
Why moan about the phone if it's an entry level phone that will sell well and give SE the money to reinvest on better kit? SE are looking for marketshare, so these are the phones to do that with.

The two megapixel antofocus camera is still the best 2 megapixel camera available anywhere, taking photos that are great for PC viewing, 6x4 inch printing or showing on a TV. So, for most people it's going to be just fine.

Why are people always so upset when a new phone comes out? If it was a higher spec than the K800i, the same people would be moaning that their phone is now suddenly obsolete!!

Cyber-shot is a whole new product line, so there will be lower spec models and higher spec models.

These pictures were not stolen,but passed onto us from a member of secentral forums,i've clearly quoted his name and secentral.net as source.

Eldar form MR said that the W series of this Cayber shot will have walkman player 2...will it have autofocus as well?

the picture on the very bottom right looks VERY much like a k750 logo on the back...

And what's up witht the fastport on the side...? :S
On 15 Oct 04:11 rssndrsn wrote
amnesia, I really can say that this one is for real. Fake SE phones do not have SE logo on them. And if you would study everything single thing on that pic, from the materials that was used, the design, it gives only one conclusion. It's real, very SE.

Honestly, SE is moving from disappointing to simply cr*p. Its making me more and more want a nokia N series and say good bye to mid-end downgraded phones.

Seems SE just cant fight against highend phones.....change in strategy, fight below.....in low-mid ends........strengthen foundation, increase sales.........then a big "BANG" to wipe out those high-end ones.

Yes but there are alredy too many good candybar 2mp phones from SE. They should announce something really new. If they cant announce a good 4 or 5mp camara phone at least could show something new in the design! A cybershot slider phone for exemple...

SE did announce the W550 after the W800. And you wouldn't all Cybershots to be high end, would you? It looks pretty good and it doesn't look fake. Chinese knock offs usually have weird details or buttons not available on the oroginals.

looks fake.
Most chinese copies have a silver frame around the screen.

How come there's two diode flash, rather than xenon! I don't understand this.

Kinda nice looking. I'm wondering if this was a proto before the K800 debuted. I still think that the CyberShot branded SE phones should ALL be top tier!
On 14 Oct 19:11 axxxr wrote
Its not a downgrade but a cheaper mid-range phone!

2mp??? If this is true SE must be joking with us... Another downgrade!
