I think they need something like that over there cos their whole life seem to revolve around the iphone,which in my opinion is just hype and marketing
While I agree the iPhone is hype, the P5i would never be released here under an operator. It's wayyy too good for any American carrier. The average American consumer is still stuck in 2003, cell phone-wise.
Though, I fully expect it to be quadband (850 Mhz has been featured on every 2008 SE phone and many 2007 phones in some shape or form), so in that sense it will be "released" here, though it will be up to people to import it.

2003 at best. Makes me depressed to see that it took so long just to get the k850i over here, who knows when we'll get the p5i. I think that the sad truth over here in the US is that people will continue to get the iPhone even after this is released because people will freak out when they see that this won't be compatible with iTunes, and assume that the iPhone is better because of that. It cracks me up when people ask me why I haven't gotten an iPhone yet, and I say that its because its not good enough and I'm waiting for the p5i. They look at me like I'm crazy. |

If  has the gumption to come out with the next generation P series without quad band then they should lose more market share. I have been buying the P's each year hoping that quad band comes. It is now time.

@janke1
The thread was renamed, only because of the floods of concepts coming from users - mainly sealover.

Some nice new information from SE-NSE Home lead me to post a little research - I've mentioned it on Esato a long while back but was completely ignored....
There are only 2 likely TI OMAP cpu's in use here and I'm VERY VERY Happy of them. I FIRST mentioned this under my same name on Esato but was completely ignored.
This is the TI OMAP: OMAP3420 Processor
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbu...contentId=30083
Details:
* VGA quality video camcorder and playback, up to 5-megapixel still image capture, music playback and 3D gaming.
* It embeds Imagination Technologies' PowerVR SGX graphics core (VGA Recording @ 30fps is coming wink.gif ).
* The OMAP3420 is software compatible with all OMAP 2 and OMAP 3 processors, allowing a fully software scalable solution. (so UIQ3 development and app cross-over, or quick firmware OTA updates shouldn't be an issue.
* Advanced Superscalar ARM® Cortex™-A8 RISC core.
* 65-nm CMOS process technology adds processing performance while reducing power consumption. (EXACTLY what we ALL come to expect in SE phones from the T18z/T39m to present day K850i).
So to some up, the meat of the OMAP3420 shares many of the technologies that are present in the OMAP3430 and OMAP3410 devices, including a 65-nanometer (nm) CMOS process, the ARM® Cortex™-A8 superscalar microprocessor core.
The P5i is looking good ... lets hope its design is better than what Sealover's magnificent design's have shown us - PURE sales worldwide, has Triband HSDPA (heck even HSUPA would be the BOMB)! Also A configurable LED indicator ... similar to what users on the BlackBerry side have seen would be VERY functional even with the screen backlight turned off/screen off - still giving users critical messaging and network / communications (BT) information at a glance; this saves power for app usuage. But no matter how stylish this can be ... its gotta be functional in the hand to use.
Personally, the P1i looks great ... but I think SE could've saved HUGE development dollars and only focused on teh W960i. Release that 4mths earlier - still perfected; heck even offer current users of the P990 (with original user receipt - and current phone bill showing the IMEI?) a 20% discount towards to the purchase of the W960i. This would be perfect in 2 MAJOR ways. Marketing folks. SE last 2 qtr results might have been lower without the P1i sales, BUT they would've hooked users to the UIQ3 platform giving them something to enjoy & ignore iPhone/iPod Touch, and also a functional phone. Secondly, they'd have more time & financial resources to concentrate on the P5i and it would've been announced last 3wks and shipping this qtr. Also allowing for more developers time & assistance for growing applications.

If SE had offered the W960 to me 4-6 months back with atleast 33 % discount( a highly unsatisfied and pissed off p990 user since september 2006..paid $775),i would have definitely become a SE fan again and a Uiq supporter and never posted so many anti p990/uiq3 comments and reviews in networking sites and news comments and drove countless prospective p series buyers to nokia and htc.
But since SE did nothing like that,and i still, after more than a year later feel that SE CHEATED ME.
I still have not decided on my next phone..future WM looks promising..also got my eyes on iphone2...I will judge fairly...If WM/iphone2 wins,i will buy immediately but if p5 wins,i will continue to use my p990 for 6-9 months more and when the p5's price becomes dirt cheap,buy it(if no new competition come up).Will no longer be an early bird in my country. |

Thank you Dr. Thug ... I knew that this would've been a smart move; but unfortunately SE did NOT feel obligated. I'm very surprised a class action lawsuit was not launched ... and if not SE is VERY lucky compared to what Palm is going through in the US right now.
But by all things reported thus far this P5i looks like it'll be the thing, but ONLY those with liquidable cash reserves they don't have to worry about will be able to purchase and give extensive reviews. |

Yeah...its a pity that we p990/m600 and w950 users did not lodge our protest very well.
Read the other day in engadget that HTC touch and tytn2 owners are planning on a class action lawsuit againt HTC ...why??coz of some video playback issue in those phones.
When i compare that problem to problems i had in my P990,i can't help laughing.

(my comment/reply is the 9th)
SE clearly escaped a lawsuit.

Its a bit early to say but from all the latest info, it sounds like its only se's uiq version of a n95 and not much more. It would be interesting to see if it has a 3.5mm jack, accelerometer or 8gb of memory or similar? To at least compete with n95 8gb. Xperia sounds multimedia, has the qwerty survived?
As a minimum it needs to be as good a spec as the n95, a easy and fast ui this time and n95 size but thinner and better looking. anything less isn't good enough.
Personally I'm happy with the phones I have but it would be good to see se doing better. |
