Had a look at the nokia 5800 xpress music dummy the other day and i love it. Waiting for the vodafone store to get a real one in so i can see what its truly like though.
Nothing of real interest on SE's front, they arent exactly trying to compete at the moment with the release of similar handsets from last year. Quite sad really as they were doing really well at first.
Hows everyone doing with their phones at the moment? Content or looking for upgrades? |

@soane28: Yeah SE in NZ isn't doing to great, but then SE across the world isn't either. All I hope for is that the C905 and X1 show up soon, not that I'll be upgrading. I must say the W595 looks really good in reality though.
But no, I'm definitely very happy with my C902. I'll keep this longer than I kept my W910i I reckon.
@yea g: SE tells me. Haha, no but seriously, go to any product page for an SE phone like this one:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]eportfolio/specification/c903# (change the phone name in the link to see another)
Then on the left hand side of the page it has "Local Availability". Click "Show".

@soane28
The iPhone 3G 8GB I have is going to be a hard act to follow. I was thinking that a G705/W705/W715 would replace it easily but now I'm not so sure. I really want to see what sort of competition WM, Android and Palm can provide to the Apps on the App Shop before I make a change. Plus, in another 6 months there will probably be another iPhone along... 
Did you guys know that Auckland had it's hottest day on record today?

@carkitter: I was expecting a much higher temperature than that! Its funny because we have several days every summer that go over that temperature, and we're further south!
Anyways, I'm off looking for a new job and I had my first job interview today for Powerstore. They had a lot of applicants so I don't know what my chances are like for that position, but I'll keep you all posted. I'm hoping for something like Powerstore so that I can get me some cheap gadgets!

Have you looked at the Samsung Omnia too?
Both of those interest me as iPhone competitors but without the limitations.
Unfortunately, they're without the iPhones best feature - the App Store but Nokia may be fixing that very soon. Their own App Store is about to arrive. |

Too right. Quite annoying actually!
Does anyone else find it weird that apparently we're not getting the W715 (the Vodafone version of the W705), yet we are supposedly getting the W705 here?
Anyone else thinking this could be a Telecom/Black+White release?

It'll have to be the W705a for Telecom. I can't understand Vodafone not having the W715, it seems really strange but then somewhwere between Vodafone's restrictive policies and SENZ's complete lack of any common sense or intestinal fortitude lies the rediculous situation we have listed in the first post.
Unfortunately, importers really are the first port of call for  fans in NZ. 
Have you seen the W995! C905 has a  sister! The Uni internet connection is too slow to check out the Strangely named Idou yet though.

Yep, and the W995 is on its way to New Zealand eventually. Good to see a 3.5mm jack on a fully loaded SE feature phone!
Idou is one incredible piece of machinery, but bear in mind that it is not properly announced yet. SE have 'previewed' it, but its announcement is not due until Q2 and its release is not due until the second half of 09. The final product could (and likely will) be quite different. At the moment the product they are showing people is very incomplete.
Awesome announcement though! It meant quite a bit of work for me though so I'm somewhat glad they didn't show more than two phones!
