SE have made a huge change to their strategy, regarding their KXXX successors. Instead, they are now waiting for everyone to release their best camera phones (n95 at this stage), observe the pros and cons and make additional changes and then a late release.
That strategy will never work, you can't wait for the opposition to make their move and then react (as anyone who watched the West Indies South Africa world cup cricket match yesterday will tell you). If the N73 successor comes up with something new then will SE further delay Sofia? If they keep delaying like this it will make Sofia the biggest Vaporware since Duke Nukem Forever.
OT: Kewell might well be fit for tonight's UCL match against PSV, whether Rafa decides to play him is another matter. |

Yeah, thanks for the translation. It does sound quite weird, but the actual translation is up on the Mobile-review site, and yes, it does say that Sofia will have  v2.0 and be Cyber-shot as well!
This is a big change for SE, and a good thing, considering the wait until September for Sofia, in conjunction with the probable higher price.
UPDATE:
- Sofia may be and Cyber-shot.

'Its very strange all this Sofia business', is what I was thinking last night.
One one hand people are getting worked up over, what basically might turn out to be, a Cybershot branded K800i replacement with a branded player. No wi-fi (no need really) but might be 3.5G.
Which, if we take into account that we might not even get out hands on this until Autumn (according to the rumours) it begs the question, were are all the high end phones?
Arguably, the most advanced phone available from at the moment is the P990i - but on paper its not even that good.
There is a huge amount of people waiting for something amazing to pop out of factory doors but unfortunately I think we are all going to be left begging.

Somebody at mobile-review also said that Eldar gets mostly prototypes of the phones and since Sofia is the most advanced "regular" phone (non uiq)
it could have all kinds of software on it for testing purpose. So we shouldnt build our hopes to high up... |

Probably
Though it still makes me hark back to the days of the W900i which was announced the year before last and is still a good all-rounder.
C'mon SE! Throw us a bone!!!! :

^^ you know it, so why ask?
however i would like to say that the whole CS + WM would be great, best of both and why not, the music and camera, just start me off with 1gb card, that will work!
i always wondered why the WM and CS phones had great features for that specific brand but never together for the allaround device. this bodes well if thats what SE is thinking and may alleviate some of the aesthetic issues. now for an amazing battery life and HSDPA (the 7.2mbps variety)
i still want SE to tell me hey never fret we are working diligently to earn your money! heres a teaser of whats to come. Sept is a long way off in the cell phone world. coupled with my hate of the motorola brand i need something new! not just something i need the best and as far as im concerned it has been SE for the past few yrs.

If they are really gonna combine the WM and CS together in one phone, that would be really great! Its what some of us have been asking for a very long time. At least they will let users decide if they want WM, CS or BOTH. Hooray!  
But then again, its just rumours, I doubt would do that, especially since SONY is there... 
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.  I  Nokia N95 8GB and N82 |

Sony = Sony, Ericsson = Ericsson; SE = a whole new company that gets the best of both without the baggage of a particular consumer electronics company that is trying to find its way after apple so easiler dethroned them from the market they invented ... ouch!
so why not reinvent the wheel and try to make a great brand of phones. personally i like the touch screen idea for the iphone but i would rather have the flexibility of a SE phone i find that they try not to hide much from the end user. ability to chose which towers to access, setup mobile internet without having subsription, yea you could say i want sophia/sofia now.
i really want to see a spec sheet, all these rumors and then we have bavlondon saying its going to be an incremental hop, instead of the philosophical leap that is manifesting both in release information and in the execution of mobile technology. |
