I don't think so. It has always been a battle with the two samsungs and the W850i and K800i. I have forgotten which of the new SE phones will be hittingthe market first - I think its the W880i which is sure to be a hit.
I used to think that the more expensive phones wouldn't be able to make the top ten but the K800i proved that wrong.
I'm not sure the W610i will be huge though the white K550i has a good chance of becoming the next big hitter. It just looks really nice in white.

My money is on the k550 and w880 to be the next big sellers for SE. The white k550 is so good looking I can't believe it's not even high end. The w880 is truly amazing when you look at the dimensions. |

i'm glad the P990i is in the list and also the W950i
SE symbian phones need to be pushed, they are the future.

@EMS06
I agree.
After reading the review of it over on Mobile-review I have been completely taken by it.
Slim phones have been around for a few months but as the review said - only Sony Ericsson has managed to make a slim phone and pack it with an excellent set of features. A winning formula if ever there was one.

@goldenface- you haven't seen a slim phone until you see a Sony Ericsson. It will always have something special. I for one am very happy with the start for SE this year when you consider that Sofia and the Uiq models are still to be announced. Looking forward to the next announcements. |

Do you think UIQ phones will become as mainstream as S60? How do they compare with non-smart  phones - say speed wise?

Week ending 9.2.2007 - Contract Phones
Little change inside the top ten this week, other than a few position shuffles. It's a good week for the Korean manufacturers, with the Samsung E900 sidling into the top five and the LG Shine (KE970) making its debut at number 16. Sales predictions for the Shine are strong, meaning it's likely to grace the top ten pretty soon.

Low end handsets are doing well this week, with the top two spots taken by the very reasonably priced Motorola's L6 and V3. The Nokia 6230i, which was inching its way towards the top ten, has suffered a slight sales set back, sliding to number 12 this week.

The W880i will begin shipping this month. I am positive this will be snapped up by the big four operators.

Little change in the prepay chart this week, with the Motorola L6 still holding strong. The handset has had an almost unbroken eight month run at the top spot. With a recent flux of new budget handsets revealed at 3GSM, who will be the one to eventually oust it?

K610i is doing quite well, better then i ever expected.
on the other side their aren't many SE's in the stats, its over run by nokia, and even LG is picking up marketshare.
W880 will be a hit, but one phone alone isn't enough, we need more SE phones in the stats.

I agree. I have a feeling that shine will be No 1 next week at this rate. The W880i is sure to be a hit but does need to get these phones out quick.
In a recent interview, it was said the the K510i and the K550i are expected to be the big hitters this year but probably not in the UK where SE's mid tier phones do better such as the K800i.
