I don't envy you mate. They should just release devices that work for everyone, ideally. I actually really like the latest releases in Japan from SE. They look good and the specs are of a very high standard as regards multimedia, which is what I want to see in SE phones more and more. |

One thing that is known is that OEMs such as Nokia, Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc should be releasing some major handsets at 3GSM, so if SE dont pull their weight there, I for one will be tempted to go for a much more capable device. Thats one of the reasons why I want there to be a P5i (Dont care about the name) which is hopefully announced at 3GSM, 1 becuase Im interested in buying, but 2 because SE once was at the top of the high end market, and last year was not a year when they shone, so if they repeat last years mistakes, thats a big portion of the market they could lose permanently. IMO releasing devices that are nearly there (no names) e.g. 3,2Mpx, WLAN b only, small screen, too many buttons, a touch UI which isnt finger friendly, its just not good enough to detract from OEM's solutions.
even motorola is going to announce real high end devices: the V12 with 2.8" screen with 240*400 resolution, UIQ, GPS, HSDPA and 5 megapixel camera |

at the rate things are going, i think it's gonna be another bad year for SE. The latest and rumored phones all seem to be a rehash of the year before. nothing new. nothing innovative. i still remember my t68i, which made me SE-crazy. but now, my faith in SE is steadily windling.
The P5 represented its rebirth for most of us, and now that it's said to be announced later in Q4 and released on '09, no matter how high-spec'd it might seem right now, i wonder if it would remain high-end and if it'd find its place in the market as a leader in the high-end multimedia level.
I hope they change my mind come Sunday. I don't think i can bear another UIQ3.0 after my short stint with the p990. |

No the P5i should be announced sometime in the next 3-4 months. Then released in Q4. |

I'm not sure what it means to release P5i. And the word "rebirth" for some of you, rebirth of what? Think if you're in SE's position, and you know that there's a website where user's that's not even 1% of the total mobile-phone users AROUND the world are in, and demanding this and that. Do you think SE will follow the not-even-1% people and just come out to sell it to that website? I'm not saying anything bad about the website, but just want to point out the big picture .
SE has to think of the total profit that they WILL sell around the world, not just from the opinion of some websites. Would you release a lower phone where the price can be lower and gain more customers+profit, or release the high-end phone just for the hype and no demand in the consumers? Don't forget that High-end comes with High-price, and economically people are losing the budgets to look at high-price products.
I, myself was covered by the hype when I just got into SE, but after I worked at a website under SE's approval, I began to understand more that marketing really matters, not just some hype stuff.
I just don't think it's right to keep bugging SE to come out with High-end phones if the market doesn't really demand it. |

Well considering this entire thread is about the(possibly) most high end phone SE is going to release this year, I would say complaints or suggestions are worthy of this thread. Now, there is certainly no need to have some of the attacking of certain posters like PK who kindly share their time on this forum for our benifit, but there are valid complaints to be had.
Frankly, I see this whole P5i thing becoming a mess kind of like the w960 was last year. High end rumored specs, and everyone was excited to see what would come of it. Everyone was pumped when it was announced, and we waited...and waited...and waited...until it finally came out at the very end of the year and was met with a resounding "meh" amongst the critics. It's hard to have cutting edge tech when it takes literally around 6-7 months after announcment for it to hit shelves. It's also hard to keep the excitement for the phone when it takes so long to get here. In that sense, the SE marketing dept. has failed, though not all blame is at their feet. |

No no no! This has been simply misunderstood with the announcement of Paris.
I never said it would be announced in Q4. In Q4 it'll be available - the announcement should be in the first half of 2008.

@sithcentz
I do understand what you're saying, but about the release time where critics will say "meh." What if that time is actually the more suited time for such devices? How do we know that what already came out from other vendors are actually suited for the moment? HSDPA, GPS, 5MP Camera? I'll keep repeating myself over and over again that the functions are not suited for the moment at all. You have to agree that only a small percentage, I would say less than 10% would actually use those functions.
SE knows that they're price is above others and they cannot fix that problem, so what they give us back is quality and something that's more suited for the users. I think we could tell from previous announcements where they're approaching. Sure, they might come out with P5i, but no one will think it's the "Big Hit" or even worse, people might think vendors are scared of iPhone to come out with such phones.(I know PK said you can't compare, but you know how people's mind works)
About PK and the others, I do appreciate them sharing, but I don't think they're trying to make such a big hype. They just share the information that they can, but it's just only us that's coming with questions, photoshops, that's making the story go boom. |

@ SE
Dear SE please work slowly on your new model (models will be better) to catch other producers in saturated market of phones.
My next phone will be very compact touch device with capability of fast massaging and phoning + extraordinary mechanical features.
Just do it or I leave it!
Thanks!
