No, a lot of people are waiting for a start.
Mobile sales have been booming for the past 5 years.
In 2002 mobile shipments were 433 million and have been growing ever since. 2007 shipments will be over 1000 million so I think we can safely say that mobile sales are still booming.

This truly is a feat when you're considering that SE had nothing to offer last year. It's now 3 years later and I'm still waiting for a replacement of my p910i. Like a few posters before me I also want a feature packed high end smartphone in 2008.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

No a lot of people are waiting for a start.See with the release of n95 which has changed the way what mobile phones does.Now people have started looking at it as mini laptop, a computer(rather than just early days of attending calls,then came music and imaging now its time to replace our laptops and use mini laptops)The next episode is yet to begin....no its just the begining.See how much of curiosity N95 has generated,with many threads on esato asking and dreaming about n95 successor.
I personally think that Ericsson was the first to spawn this 'mobile computer' concept with with R320 pda-phone in somewhat in 2001 and then with the successive P-series culminating in P990 which has the computer-phone effect unlike the M-series and P1 which has more of a PDA feel. Unfortunately the truly capable and versatile (it is a both a multimedia and a business phone which is not inherent in N95) phone that is P990 was so poorly developed when it was released a year too late that SE did not go all the way in its marketing IMO, so reaping all the benefits is N95 which came right in time to fill the gap with great advertising. N95 is what it is, an excellent computer-phone. This is the sector that SE needs to top and take back from, especially now with the development of Nokia's first TC device

good point gunsnroses, I've been saying this for a while. When people are pissed about a phone they are far more likely to mention it in every thread they come across than people who are happy with their phones (they just quietly enjoy it). So it's not accurate to presume mass dissatisfaction with a phone release simply because it gets a lot of bad flack on news groups. The venerable K750 went through an early period of bad firmware when it seemed no one online had anything good to say about it (though I myself never lost faith). But yet that phone single handedly clinched SE's name as a leading camera phone maker, and the market LOVED the phone. Becuase the fact is, while SOME handsets suffered problems, the vast majority were solid stable phones. I had many arguments again and again online with people trying to claim the K750 was an umitigated disaster and would be a failure for SE, but their basis of claiming this was their own experience and those of other unlucky handset owners on esato. They didn't seem to get that most people were not having problems, ie: that the problems that seemed indemic at esato, were infact only a small proportion of the total user base for K750's. The K750 and W800 were responsible for a surge in sales that saw SE start to climb back up the marketshare ladder.
A similiar story with the P990. The P990 was much more a disaster than the K750, yet I still meet people quite often on esato and other forums who have never had a single issue with the P990 and consider it the best phone they have ever owned.
These people are more common than those who have had bad experiences.
