Is there any SE equivalent to the LG KF700 or Samsung F480/F700 in the works? And with that I mean: large touchscreen, no UIQ or WM but a touch version of the A-series software platform. I don't understand why SE doesn't jump on that train. I can understand why Nokia doesn't, they are successful in what they're doing. But SE isn't.
I currently own an iPhone, and I love the touch screen. And it's not just me, it's pretty much everyone. All SE has are these unattractive (to the general public I mean) G-series touch screen phones. SE has a far superior UI compared to the Samsung and LG UI's, I'd be interested to see how that would work out in a touch device.
This SE phone could be a winner I think:
- CLEAN design like KF700/F480/F700.
- Minimal screen display resolution of 320x480 (at least higher than iPhone).
- GPS (not necessarily), 3MP AF camera, HSDPA, FM-radio, the usual.
- Capacitive touch screen (VERY important imho)
- Nice, simple UI. Like their A-series, but then for touch devices as I previously stated. No OS like UIQ or WM that requires a more "advanced" user.
- 3.5mm jack. Will never happen, but still.
- Decent music player, perhaps 8GB built in.
- No Walkman/Cybershot-branding. Just name it Touch or whatever they like.
I think that the screenshots above your post show a touch interface that is simplistic like you wanted. Sure its not based on the A platform and it is UIQ, but it definitely looks far easier to use for general users than previous UIQs.

Now that Nokia has announced the NAM N96, N79, and N85, what is SE going to counter with in September? It better be a high end smartphone that works world wide and has great hardware.

Yeah it has stopped, but that doesn't mean stores don't still sell them! And anyway, its fairly normal for production of phones to stop after around a year. They need to start making the successor!

They ceased manufacturing the K800i later than they way they did with the K850i. I do think that they acknowledge that this didn't go the way it was supposed to or the way they intended.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Can anyone tell me what the use of the switch is on the bottom of this phone? Does it lock the slide?

Saw some interesting colours for W350 & W380 today. Well, we could get on with the "Oh no, same old paint jobs and nothing new" but eh - who cares.  |
