mobilmania says the Sony Ericsson W42S, from Japan will be available for the GSM network as the W880.
ESATO NEWS
According to a leaked image shown on T-Mobile Czech website,the Sony Ericsson's W42S is listed as the W880 GSM model. Since its very easy to make a photoshop image like this,there is little chance of this rumour being real?but thats enough to get us excited anyway over the possibility of a Japanese Sony Ericsson handset heading to our shores.

1.3 megapixels?!? if they change the sensor to at least 2.0 and leave AF in it, i'm smelling a phone upgrade.... from my K800 (or downgrade, depending on how you look at it....)

Well those specs are from the original handset,the GSM version if it exists will proberbly be at least 2MP if not higher.
btw: I have already seen one of these on display at the New
store in london,so that might be a sign?

T-Mob screwed this one up big time, they let a phone leak way ahead of everyone else.
just might announce this earlier than scheduled 
Can somebody work out a photoshop of those 4 front buttons and replace them with the (left softkey, internet, back) and (right softkey, activity menu, C) buttons? Makes sense, eh? As for that one button in the middle...
Methinks they might change the faceplate/keypad design somehow too, as in the K500 and F500
Just give me back my autofocus and I'm queueing up to get this on day one

Would be nice to have a music phone that looked like that it does look like a sony walkman mp3 player i bought earlier this year would help to identify certain models such as walkman or cybershot

I don't think so. What's the point? Too similar to the W850 and there's already going to be a a W610 for the lower mid-range.
SE's never released a phone worldwide and I don't expect it to IMO.

So should we take this as fake then?...there's that word again!
Posted by deuxani
I keep on saying that they might've only used this image as a placeholder because of the lack of a press photo of the real W880i.
Posted by cristiano
maybe SE canceled Ai and this 1 is the replacment
or this is another Walkman mobile?
Posted by shaliron
Really, this is not coming. We can all hope, but no, the reality is no.
Already listed my reasons in the other thread.

aww cmon. not letting this thread reach 20+ pages before calling it off?
seriously, i like this phone. the unique music controls should be enough incentive for
to piggy back and cash cow on. the mustve taken a lot of R&D. But if docomo or whatever jap operator has signed for exclusivity to the design then we're all out of luck.
here's hoping the next
gets identifiable music-centric controls, like how the vertical sliding lens covers conveys the whole cyber-shot message

I don't know if this is true or not but someone called Monkey posted this in the news section!
"Its not a rumor. i work for a 3G netork in the uk and we are testing this handset now."

He spelt rumour the American way
Posted by axxxr
so your saying he's a liar?
he could be an american living over here?
Posted by >500
he was just pointing that put axxxr
if this phone comes, and i think its a fair chance we will see it, it would have to have a 2mp+ cam.
after all,
has built phones in the past based on what the japs have. like the k800 and the, dont know the jap version, s903i, or is that the new jap bravia

@axxxr
I have no idea, but maybe I'm a bit on the pessimistic side of things when it comes to this rumour. Not saying that it can't happen, but I don't think so.
Posted by axxxr
Yeh i understand what your saying,maybe a part of me just wants this handset to come out so badly that im willing to believe anything.
I Actually had a look at this on display aswell at the
store and ever since ive kind of been thinking it would be nice if it was available.
Posted by jepherberich
Did the W42S 1.3MP cam have autofocus?
I can't find this information anywhere, and even then, I can't read japanese
Posted by goldenface
I don't think it did have AF. Great wow factor on this phone.
