That would be a great idea. Two for the price of one. A great music-player and a great camera.
Oh and by the way, a phone as well

"I hope, I think, it should have, I assume, I am expecting, I am dreaming of, hopefully, luckily, maybe, I am crossing my fingers," and many many other words like these are used in 99% in every setence here which makes me think if these rumours are based on something, or it is all expectation and imagination of people of what they want SE to present. |

"People have been crying out for a killer device from  . It would seem to me that the only way they could produce the ultimate attention-grabbing super device would for it to include both the best imaging and an excellent music player"
....and if you build it , they(and we) will come, branding or not.......
....who knows?? I may actually be able to change my signature again!
EDIT: Typical - it's dissappeared anyway(even though it's set to display always)!

Hello, first post and all that...
One question I havent really seen answered here... How long do these things usualy take from announcement to actualy being available on contracts?
My contract is up around Feb 8th and I want to change it, but I also want to wait for the new K770 if it isnt going to be too long... otherwise might just have to choose between the K800 or W810... |

@stulane
Well after the P990i experience, it has been said that won't let us wait for too long after the official announcement.
However, I would imagine most of the upcoming phones wil be hitting the shelves from March onwards: six weeks after the official announcement would be a good guestimate.
btw. Welcome to esato

@deuxani
Do you think might be building up to releasing something like that?

yeah you are right goldenface. Release shouldnt be too long after announcement i hope, rnd (research and development) has improved over the years. And it looks as though this will be one of main goals this year, early as possible releases to help gain more market 'power'
And apparently a lot of the phones, well the ones which are to be announced shortly, are ready for mass production, they just need the 'go ahead'/orders ...So hopefully that results in earlier releases, especially for sofia which we all thought was june release like k800...But i think it should be april or may for sofia, i hope....

From one of my earlier posts:
Quote:
| In order to further strengthen its competitiveness in the emerging markets, Sony Ericsson is expected to adjust its strategy by outsourcing production of its mid-tier handsets to Taiwan makers, and demand that the contract makers focus on ultra-slim designs as well as adding multimedia functions to the handsets, the sources stated.
Under this new policy, Sony Ericsson has placed orders for four new models with Taiwan-based Arima Communications, and another two new models with Chi Mei Communication Systems (CMCS), with the two local companies expected to begin shipping the new products to Sony Ericsson in the second quarter of 2007, according to the sources.

So at least six will start rolling in the 2nd quarter from the Taiwanese makers alone. 4 of these are yet to be mentioned at all by

an extra 6 weeks sounds not to bad a wait... There doesnt seem to be much excitement around the K770 really, but from what I've seen SE only really has one decent "all in one" phone at the moment with the W810. Interesting that a walkman phone has the best camera out of most of their more recent releases |

@ goldenface, I think we can expect to still have differences between the Walkman and Cyber-shot family in 2007, but I expect them to not be so big as they have been lately. For instance, the K770's twin brother, will most probably have AF again. But it really seems like SE will only be making a smartphone as the all mighty all-in one device (which is a good idea as they are more powerful in general).
@ stulane, actually the W900i is a little better, photo wise and especially video wise. |

exactly, I'm thinking the K&W merge will be bigger than only merging W&K
example UIQ, WiFi, larger screen, higher video quality, even more and powerfull Walkman features...
I'm sure that this will ensure more strong in the market, I was disappointed after some news about going for mass market rather than ultra-high-quality products as they did with phones like T68, P800, K700, K750, etc..
I know mass market phones give more profits than ultra-high-quality, but the company view in the cosumer's eyes are made with such low-mass/high-quality phones...
there's nothing stopping from going both in my opinion except they need more R&D and manufacturing cabilities to handle both markets ( mass market & high-quality )
ofcourse building a mass market phone does NOT mean low quality, but what I'm seeing now speacilly on this year the features of phones are not what we can expect specially those who lived the grow and live between T68 & K800.
