Ramintop,
Of course, you are right. But given that I already have a walkman mp3 player and a cyber-shot camera, I wouldnt dish out more money for what usability wise is the same thing (for some people having it compacted into an all in one device may be vital: for me it would be nice, but that doesnt really justify the cost). I want it to bring the smarter, more modern more 'fun to use' elements of mobile electronics to the table. Cameras and mp3 players of very passable quality have been around for some time now, we take that for granted usually. But full web browsing on a mobile device requiring only the flick of a finger for so much functionality- that is new. The ability to install new apps isnt new- but it keeps adding more depth to its usability. In essence, the smartphone starts to have certain functions youd get with an ultra mobile PC, only that it fits in your pocket. But of course, at the end of the day it just depends on what you in particular are looking for in the device

If I got Shiho Id be so frikkin dissappointed I didnt get the touchscreen device. Then next thing you know thanks to the market presence of the G700/G900 a whole load of great UIQ touchscreen apps come out n all and then youre stuck with the old and uninteresting input methods.
Shiho looks great, but I dont need astonishing camera performance from a mobile, I have a Cyber-shot camera already, if I want great pics Ill use that. I just want decent quality (G900 quality is way more than decent in my eyes, good enough to photoshop, good enough to print A4, good enough for uploading onto the web, I dont see what else youd want from a cam really.)
I want a multifunction smartphone capable of full web browsing, WLAN, great apps, good multimedia functions, sharp looking design, good usability- keyboard and touchscreen, nice UI. Thats all. If P10 does that, then I have no reason to bother about Shiho 'having the edge'. On a standard laptop screen you will hardly notice the difference in quality of most pics, IMO. Cmon P10
(On another note, I read somewhere that the human eye needs at least 17 fps to recognize a set of frames as a video. Below that it will look laggy. So 30fps QVGA will appear to be better quality stuff)
(Wooo >500 )

Here, here! I couldn't have put it better myself. I would never make a decision on a phone based on the camera, unless everything else was equal. If my choice is between a great smartphone with just a good camera or an ordinary phone with a great camera I'll take a great smartphone any day. |

If you were to ask SE about any of these phones, what would it be? I'm busy writing up an interview, and would love some thoughts and questions from you. |

Any of THESE phones? You think SE will acknowledge the existance of the P10 if it is not announced? Unless that is also a hint of P10 being announced tomorrow because of course you know SE wont talk about unannounced phones. |

the_flash,
Yes, the phones being announced tomorrow.
I'm not going to ask about that one nor G702; obvious reasons.

hehe, so many zoom through your mind mizz, its difficult to single one out! I suppose one thing Id like to see is a move to VGA screens. It would be great if you could ask them when we will see that sort of enhancement in SE devices, but not as a one off like in the X1. When will we see more of a lean towards watching videos, movies, TV, etc, more visual multimedia than what we have been seeing till now.
I suppose another obvious one is what direction the SE smartphone line will be taken in (multimedia? UMPC functions? What new features will they bring to the table?). Hehe well those are my thoughts, and Id bet that if you asked, youd get a direct answer to none of them lol!
EDIT: Ah forget it, my questions are all too future-based.

No need to limit it to one questions, let's just make them work
