OH MY DEAR LORD..
that antenna is larger than a horse's wand!!
+ I doubt it has a camera built in nor all the cool features we hv built in..
ericsson phones suck.. I think the S in SE makes it worth buying

I can almost recall the Siemens SX-45 (the mega brick) !! Anyhow, this device was not going to be as practical as the P800. Was it a tri-band?
The P800 in fact is 10000000000 times better than this whatyoumaycallit
Looks like Sony made a good job with Ericsson when this joint venture was made.
Well Done SE!

this is all very unfair on ericsson- it's an old picture of a *prototype* phone that may, or may not, have been released long before SE came into being.
as much as i like sony, their input into the technology of SE phones has so far been minimal, and their influence on design has mostly been pretty regrettable.
the p800 owes nothing to sony, other than an umpteen month delay while they got their precious ms duo to work with it. without that, it would have been exactly the same (ericsson) phone, with a more practical memory solution, and been released back at a time when a phone like the p800 would actually have impressed people. |

First of all, this Ericsson device was made back in 2001. It was a completely working prototype. Tri-band, GPRS, Bluetooth, Voice command, UIQ v.1 (Quartz), SD memory, 320x240 16-bit display, 5-way joystick.
Yes it was large... but considering that the only things Sony contributed to this original design to give us the P800 were the jog-dial, camera & MemoryStick Duo (if you call that an advantage)
Sony has great manufacturing, & marketing. Design-wise... they have good designers, and bad ones... apparently, the bad ones went to  and drove out the good ones from Ericsson.
Sony can only improve existing technology, they don't really put much importance in R&D... this approach works well in the merger with Ericsson since Ericsson's manufacturing really sucks.
Give credit where credit is due.. Sony contributed money, manufacturing and marketing...Ericsson contributed technology, innovation, and their name. I'm sorry, but as big as Sony is... Sony mobile phones had an ever smaller market than Ericsson... I've never heard anyone call an phone a Sony...but most people still call as Ericsson. |

I like the design wise except for the anttena! Anyway I agree that the SE phones in the market are still being called mostly Ericsson and noot Sony Ericsson! Prototypes are always like that so people dont bother about it cos I think it wont be out in the market!

I think someone (me) should point out that the latest number from Compaq (HP) the HP 5000 is a similar size & also has a huge ariel, just wait a couple of weeks & see.
NOTE, not the one they have out now (i think its HP5400) or something but the very latest one with built in phone out soon. |

you have to understand that there are quite a lot of sony fans in all the se fans and a lot of sony fans like me have never think a bout ericsson is very good. But come on, the big "enemy" if you like, is still nokia.(/i am not sayin that it's bad but It is a competitor)
