Could you rephrase what you just said? Thanks. Not sure what are you trying to say here.
I really need Sofia... my K750i finally gave problems. Bought it back in May 2005 when it first came out. Spilled orange juice on it about a month or two later =\\.
Now I'm stuck with a free K610i from Three Network here in Aust. LoL. |

I don't like the new user interface in the case of SE Z750. It's functionally, and the structure of the menu remained the same, so it's easy to use, altough everybody feels it so much nokia like. I could say, I am a SE fan, and i don't like that SE to assimilite with nokia phones.
The User Interface, and menu structure have been evoluating from old Ericsson menus, and UIs. The menu was quite simle in old Ericsson models, when they used just matrix displays, bat the idea of the key structure based on the Yes/send No/End call, and C keys, and of course on the navigating keys. The first model with graphical display was the T10, but only the T28 started to use the advetages of the graphical display. The T28 ordered to each menupoint az icon and it displayed in a line on the top of screen. This made the user to have a good grip of the screen, the menu, wihich became more understandable than the other brands phones.
The grid system of the menu appeared first in the T68 modell and hat was took over by the first Sony Ericsson branded modell, the T68i, which base mostly on the Ericsson T68m. In this modells appered a new key, which became necesarry because of the evoluation of the menu system. So the main keys became the Yes, No, Options, C and the navigatin keys/joystick
In the case of the T610, in 2003 the structure remained. Only the grid widened, and appeared the 12 icons menu structure (the T68 has only 9 icons). However the keyboard structure has changed. The Yes, No, Options and C keys was interchaged by the two softkeys wich function is indicated on the screen. Appeared the well-known key from Sony devices the back-key, and the C remained. But.... If you think it over the change was really minor, it just clarified the role of the keys, and a little bit enhaced the oppotinuties of the keyboard. In fact the Yes key was interchenged by one of the softkeys, which has the same role. The C remained. In function the No key was taken over by the back-key, the Options keys role was tekan over by the right softkey.
So except of the changed indications the only minor change was that the No and Options keys switched places.
Yes.............No left softkey (Yes)....right softkey (Options)
Optinos.......C Back key (No)...................C
An major upgrade was the menu of the K700, wich enhaced the multimedia capture of the menu and the horizontal navigation in submenus... and that was a positive change. Since the K700 (2004) the menu has only minor changes, only the camera menu was changed to Cyber-Shot style UI in some recent modells.
In fact the new key configuration (in the case of the Z750, and I hope only in that case) changed in negative way in my opinion. The centre key takes over the role of the Yes (and it isn't to practical in case of joysticks) the right softkey tkes over the role of the No, and the left softkey the role of Options. The C remained. But... The send/end call keys has only one role.. to start and to end calls... it's a stupid solution.
Now I have a K750, and I am waiting for the new "Sofia" modell. But I want to buy a new phone for summer... and the most of people buy camera or camera phone for summer, not before autumn.
I think unfortunately that the "Sofia" can't reach the stores in july. Just remember, in recent years the T610, K700, K750, K800 was uncovered in february, and these modells reached the stores only in july. So the "sofia" for summer is becaming more and more impossible. I think that I should remain with the K750 or buy a K800. I have had only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded phones so I dont want really to buy from onother brands.
I guess that for not-sonyericsson users the new UI is more pleasant, but the old SE users will be bordered a little bit. But the SE can think so that old users will buy their products -if they are a little bit bordered too about the new UI. But in this way more people will buy their products because it has no more the unique -and at the same time easy to use UI which WAS a spaciallity of the SE. |

the way things are going SE will announce a 5mp phone.
5mp only
no wifi
no walkman player
no speaker
no autofocus
no macro
no flash
no memory card
no calendar
no sms
no call list
no contacts
just a phone with 5mp
because not everyone wants all that fancy shmancy other stuff
give me a break and lets have a phone that has the best of the walkman range AND best of the cybershot range
we dont need 30 different cases with the same phone specs
give us 1 with everything we want (kinda like the P990i was supposed to) and make it work correctly
come on SE you can do it!

Thats going abit over the top rlaffoon. Wifi, walkman player and VGA video recording is about the only things you wont see. SEs strategy is pretty clear and they are not going to give us an all in one device like nokia have. SE have more customers than us die hard mobile fans who just have to have the best and the most technological features all in one phone - how many of us are there compared to everyone else in the world who are content with a phone with several features that suit them?? |

Is there going to be any W880 upgrade? I mean it is a minus not to have an FM radio and autofocus. A W880 with FM radio and autofocus will be just great |

12 Feb, Then March, now April......
its all a load of rubbish. I bet none of you who claim to have seen it actually have its all just a ploy to generate traffic on the fourum. I dont know what SEs strategy is but surley not even announcing a 5mp rival to the n95 is bad news. Especially as the n95 is in stores now.

I don't even want to know what your problem is bavlondon. There's going to be an announcement mid April and the only thing left to announce is some high eng camera phones. Of course there's no gurantee of anything but you don't need to get iritated and all. We'll get our high ends.
I don't want a signature anymore. |
