but surley this could act as a bad thing to make customers wait as the level of impatience in most phone lovers will cause them to perhaps switch interest to a rival brand.

Beside forum users like us (which probably are a big minority when looking at total numbedr of mobile customers) I would say no one else cares.

P990 was announced early and took long time to release, but those waiting for it last year did not like that approach either. What forum users want is probably early announce and release (at least one new phone each month).  |

I must say I'm losing patience waiting for Sofia and I'm looking at the N93 or N95. Ouch. It hurts to write that kind of stuff down. I love SE but maybe the forum watching/waiting game makes the pain of waiting for the next big thing more forefront in my head.
I remember reading somewhere here that aren't going to be any more swivels (which I think is a bad idea, I liked the swivel design) but is there a possibility of a Sofia variant in a sliding form? I quite fancy a change from the candybar. |

Not sure if anyone saw this:
http://www.alk.eu.com/
http://www.engadgetmobile.com[....]e-navigation-for-wm6-launched/
Is that grey phone Lizzy or just M600 with a different colour.
The place where the operator's logo should be is blacked out. So it might be the Lizzy?
I would rather see the Elena!
Think Elena will be pitched against Nokia E90, so hopefully Elena will come out in the second quarter too... |

I suppose its our own fault we're impatient.
The fact that we found out about Sofia so long ago has made the wait almost unbearable.  We're too nosy for our own good.

no phone announcment today, the announcment scheduled about the UIQ technology was only to discuss with handset vendors regarding expanding the future ownership of UIQ Technology but wanted to use the opportunity of 3GSM in Barcelona to issue an open invitation to them;
"3GSM, Barcelona – February 14, 2007 – Sony Ericssonheld a media and analyst briefing today to issue an open invitation to phone vendors to become shareholders in UIQ Technology AB following Sony Ericsson’s acquisition of the Swedish software company from Symbian Ltd on February 2. UIQ Technology AB licenses the UIQ user interface framework and application suite to phone vendors. At the briefing Sony Ericsson President Miles Flint said that UIQ will remain an independent company and that phone vendors are invited to license UIQ as well as become shareholders in the company.
Miles Flint emphasised the industry’s need for a strong independent cross-vendor open user interface platform for business and multimedia feature phones and said “By licensing UIQ, handset vendors will be able to share development costs and create a unified market for third party developers resulting in both a richer media and mobile internet experience for consumers”.
Sony Ericsson is already a licensee of UIQ and has shipped a number of phones based on Symbian OS and UIQ such as the P990 business-centric smartphone and the high-end Walkman W950 with 4GB of onboard storage.
Per Aspemar, Head of Strategy at Sony Ericsson, explained “UIQ Technology is already set up as an independent company and prepared for multiple owners through a holding company. Sony Ericsson has gained valuable experience through its ownership and involvement with Symbian, and believes it has the ability to set UIQ Technology up so that it offers an attractive alternative for a wide variety of phone vendors looking for an independent open user interface platform.”
Johan Sandberg, CEO of UIQ Technology, is very encouraged by Sony Ericsson’s intention to keep UIQ both phone vendor and chipset independent. “UIQ offers a truly personal and rich user experience plus fantastic flexibility for developers, operators and phone vendors as it supports many form factors in one code base as has been illustrated by UIQ products announced at 3GSM,” explains Johan Sandberg. “It is easy to port applications between S60 and UIQ on the Symbian platform making it an appealing option for developers.”
Sony Ericsson is in discussions with handset vendors regarding expanding the future ownership of UIQ Technology but wanted to use the opportunity of 3GSM in Barcelona to issue an open invitation to them. Sony Ericsson expects to make further announcements about new shareholders and licensees in the coming months." |
