Japanese New! New pictures of the upcoming W64s clamshell from Sony Ericsson have appeared. This features a WVGA screen, slim profile and chrome finishing. Not a lot of information appearing regarding SEMCJ as a reorganisation is currently taking place however, it is known that Sony Ericsson Japan is currently working on further devices destined for the EU market - the latest example being the C905. Just a quick update on the latest device for the Japanese market. The SO906i that was mentioned earlier is the next to be released clamshell for NTTDocomo. There is also a SO906iμ - although what the significance of the 'μ' is is not known at this stage. What IS significant about this device is that this is a FOMA Stick (or Candybar form-factor) with a WQVGA screen!!! There is also planned an even higher version of the SO906i which will be an update of the SO905iCS and is to have an even larger screen as well as lots of software & multimedia tweaking. ------------------------------------------------------------ The SO906i is already in development. Expect Bravia styling similar to the SO903iTV), a 3.1", 480x864 pixel screen featuring Bravia technology with 16.8M colours.

Full list of Sony Ericsson Codenames - here link to top Miscellaneous Russian president Pavel Zentrich offers his thoughts in an interview over at smape.com. See here. New Sony Ericsson India president has mentioned that they will soon be leveraging the Sony brand Bravia on forthcoming handsets in order to boost market share. See here. The spirit of the legendary T610 will live on in a new model that is in the pipeline. This phone has the codename Remi and it will be aimed upper mid-tier and feature a 3.2MP camera. The T610 was Iconic, it will be a hard act to follow so expect a 'statement' from the design and thickness around the 10-11mm mark. A handset by the name of the F305 is soon to be announced (June 17th). This will be a mid-range gaming phone that will feature a 'games console'. A phone with motion sensor gaming capability is rumoured to appear in September after Pocket Lint reported that Sony Ericsson has signed a deal with Californian company Gesturetek to bring th technology to mobile phones. The technology has previously been in action with the Sony iToy device which was used on the PS2. link to top Also:

Doesn't look too difficult, just getting your head around some basic BBCode.
As the thread grows I will be developing the first post accordingly with comprehensive links to the relevant info. Right now in the early stages there isn't much to link to, but I will try to make it as appealing as Shalirons.

Of course.
Gaming mobile
- A gaming orientated phone will be released with a dedicated graphics chip in 2008. It will have dedicated gaming buttons and motion sensors. It may be announced early to mid-February.
Taking into account the recent statement that there will be no PSP or Bravia phones for the UK, we can assume that this will not be Playstation branded.
Our very own sealover94 has created a Photoshop impression of the P3i based some info that is currently circulating.
If anyone remembers esato member deuxani's photoshops of Elena or the P1i as it now called, these can turn out to be quite accurate impressions.

Update
• Also something for the next years portfolio is the MBS-100 (Bluetooth-Loudspeaker) ball-shaped in a bigger version.
• There will be successors for the MDS-70 and MDS-80 - equipped with a 6,5" Subwoofer and two built-in loudspeakers.
• There'll also be an innovation concerning the imaging hardware.
The beginning of 2008 SE will be focused on expanding their accessories portfolio.
Thanks m-one for that info.

Your welcome
I also wish you good luck with this new and very interesting thread.
As mentioned before the 2008 Portfolio will be very impressive.
There has also been some confusion about the two codenames MOOI and Maria. It's very likely the W960 is called MOOI. What we're now expecting to be revealled is probably Maria. At least some of my sources are talking about MOOI to be the W960i.
It could be the same situation as seen in the two different codenames of the W910i. The W910 is called Shinobu. But the asian W908c is codenamed Erika.

As mentioned before the 2008 Portfolio will be very impressive.
There has also been some confusion about the two codenames MOOI and Maria. It's very likely the W960 is called MOOI. What we're now expecting to be revealled is probably Maria. At least some of my sources are talking about MOOI to be the W960i.
It could be the same situation as seen in the two different codenames of the W910i. The W910 is called Shinobu. But the asian W908c is codenamed Erika.
Eldar said that W960 is maria
@goldenface
you know that the first picture is just photoshoped
and P3 might be a slider

Since codenames change very often right before an announcement it cannot be definitely said whether it's right or wrong. I mentioned only a possibility
And referred to the situation seen on the W910

My main question is will se announce so called iphone competitor on 11th nov before launching of w960?will his be the good market stratergy for se?
Posted by m-one
It's the November 15th
Why should it be bad to release a dedicated competition opponent?
This is a necessary step due to the hard competition.
It has to come further or later.

Good luck with this thread!
And re: the first picture of the p3i on this thread, it is just a photoshop, from here (scroll to the bottom): http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=141866&p=9&g=Go
If anyone remembers esato member deuxanis photoshops of Elena or the P1i as it now called, these can turn out to be quite accurate impressions.
Ah, but deauxani already knew what the phone was going to look like
@QVGA
Yepp, the previous thread was just a combination of BBCode, and quite a lot of HTML.

Nice Thread GoldenFace. To cover SE's highest end phone rumor P3i is such a great achievement after Shaliron's success. Goodluck all the way!
I would now call you Phone rumor nostradamus II

I was wondering why there wasn't a thread for 2008 phones... now that goldenface made one, this will be perfect. I'm hoping to see many new, innovative phones for the 2008 year from Sony Ericsson, one that WILL shock other phone companies... But I'm very sure Sony Ericsson will release some exciting mobile phones because:
Nokia has announced S60 touchscreen phone (though there areen't any offical dates). Apple has announced their iPhone in France (fully unlocked) and will be annoucning in Asia and Canadian markets. Sony Ericsson will respond.
Nokia has released N81 and N95 8GB with ngage - maybe Sony Ericsson will release their PSP edition phones?
Anyways I'm not going to rant on what everyone has said earlier. Thanks again goldenface!

It is highly possible right now for SE to integrate gaming interfaces into the current streamlines which I think is the best possibility right now. We know that SE doesn't want to push out PSP phone too early since it might end up like N-Gage and Sony's own PS3 which is having selling problems globally. So the only way out to get gaming interfaces onto the market is using other phones.
Well, right now I think it's interesting to see Motorola in the UIQ role. We might see UIQ expand more than expected, and who knows, the WM OS might be canceled if UIQ does well on the phones(if there's enough developers).
I just don't think SE will push A200 interface into touchscreen, but reversely putting UIQ back into regular phones like Motorola. I personally think Nokia pushed out S60 as a touchscreen has more cons than pros. It does bring out new breeds of phones, but it killed the upper ones instead since S60-t might be cheaper for R&D so the price of the phones should be cheaper.
I'm only looking forward to the next announcement of SE since it's there last chance this year to answer the other companies of what SE has up its sleeves. I'm not asking for something like 8GB or HSDPA or 16 million color screens, but something more innovative(isn't that what SE is known for?).
Posted by razec
since motorola's first priority is to penetrate US market (which i guess SE is not concentrated atm) and given motorola's partnership with SE in UIQ development i'm sure this could have a positive effect on the future of UIQ. if motorola's UIQ solution becomes popular in the US market, this could increase developer interest towards UIQ. and more and more UIQ units from both companies would increase it's userbase thus increasing developer interest to write applications for the platform. honestly i would love to see non-TS UIQs for SE high-end camera-centric phones and The TS version for the business ranges(P & M series indeed
).
Posted by xironghostx
I think SE is developing a range of UIQ walkman and cybershot phones, to be announced in june 2008?
Just my speculations..

^Reply: kenx3000
I see your point completely. I too want SE to release something innovative yet simple. They have done so before with the T610... hopefully (or shall I say) they will do it again. I'm very hopeful that something amazing and new will be announced in the November annoucement.
Posted by kenx3000
@razec
I might have to disagree to you about SE not coming to US atm. Didn't Miles Flint announced that SE would be challenging the US market by putting in more models? So I guess we WILL see UIQ phones more in the US market(If not, the HTC and Blackberry will kick our butt LOL)

Hi Guys!
I would like to ask if who really is the Codename "Mooi"? Some says its the W960i but others says its the upcoming model better than W960i.
I have read the W960i review made by mobile review and it says:
W960i Hardware Specifications:
Codename: Maria
OS: Symbian 9.1, UIQ 3.0
CPU: ARM9, 220 Mhz (real clock rate – 180 Mhz)
RAM volume: 128 Mb, after start-up around 70 Mb available
Flash memory volume: 256 Mb (95 Mb occupied by the system, up to 160 Mb available for user-data)
Built-in memory volume: 8 Gb
So, W960i is "Maria" and "Mooi" (who is said to be the iphone killer) is not yet out, and its the one we've been waiting for. Am i right?
By the way, I am disappointed with the review. The last sentences says, "This model fails as the company’s music-heavy flagship, and there is no real explanation of what has affected the developers to this extent, so that they have come up with a product like this. A few more models designed in the same fashion should be enough to get the brand’s loyal consumers to switch over to Nokia’s solutions, which have more of Sony Ericsson’s spirit today than Sony Ericsson itself."
We better wait for "Mooi".

That's rubbish. W960 is Mooi, while Maria is not yet announced.
Posted by m-one
Eldar excoriated the W960i and Sony Ericsson.
I can hardly find a positive statement.

That's why the 15th of November is a VERY important date for SE staying alive...
Posted by goldenface
Thats what I'm thinking. The devices announced mid-November will be competing with what other manufacturers have available mid 2008, so they will have to be a 'step up' compared to this years offerings.
Of course I wouldn't be surprised if we seen more 3.2MP and 2.0MP offerings as there is still a demand for these phones. I would like to see the Cyber-shot range broaden out with more 3.2MP and 5.0MP versions.

It'd also be nice to see some more decent specced NON-branded handsets, a la T650, too......

I prefer a Java-based T650 upgrade with descent camera and audio quality.

What is against branded handsets? T650i was nice, but it wouldn't be less nice if it was Walkman or Cybershot branded, would it?
Posted by bodeh6
In addition to the P3i (which better at least match the N95 in terms of tech), SE needs to release a Cybershot Clamshell like the W54s in Europe, Asia, and North America. The Z750i doesn't cut it anymore.

As i can see from this project too...there is a global demand for bigger screens...(or nokia's one N98 )
Imho if SE doesn't present at least on phone with >3 inches screen the "game" will be lost...
