Isn't Malaysia made up of different kingdoms, each with its own monarch? I thought the the king was elected by and from these regional kings.

So is SE going to announce new phones? or they're going to keep it until Cebit few months away? I think Scotsboyuk is quite right now about new 3G models. Come to think of it, SE is putting up for Data Transfer like downloading and uploading this year, and except EDGE, 3G is the only way out, which means there's going to be alot of choices on EDGE and 3G model(JMO).
US won't be going into 3G yet though. Cingular just pushed out a whole mess of Samsung Models that supports EDGE. Which means in my idea is that Cingular would open EDGE plans soon. Verizon on the other hand won't be putting up 3G ofcourse since it decided to stick with its CDMA without anything new.
Asian market are all ready to move into 3G but some operator still waiting for a more suite time. Which ofcourse won't be too long from now.

Just received this news alert in my inbox regarding exhibitors at CeBit, -
"Similarly, Sony-Ericsson exhibited a camera phone that was less a handset with an added camera feature than a Sony digital still camera that had morphed into a phone."

I think that SE is not releasing any more 3Gs soon.. Or at least will not be releasing a line-up of 3G phones. The reason, in my opinion, is that companies are still looking in which direction the market is moving. What do people expect from 3 G phones? No one knows for sure at this time. So why release anything newer than the V800 when you do not know what you are supposed to put in the phone?
Another thing is that the share of people that are switching to 3G is still too slow to justify a big investment in such phones. A flagship model (V800) has been placed, but now they are waiting and watching...
Also, the big thing about 3G will be content... (video, music, you name it!) and this implies a new design in software, that allows third parties (sw houses, operators, etc) to create products for the phones.
The market is evolving and no one is quite sure in which direction. For this reason SE, in my opinion, will wait a little more before coming out with new 3G phones. And in the meantime they might invest money and resources to create contacts with service providers to offer something in their phones.
Think about it as a computer with internet connection... What is the point in having a PentiumIV 3GHz with DSL connection if you are running windows 95 and playing solitaire on it??
That of course is just an opinion, not supported by any major rumors or whatever. (I might also be completely wrong  (for the first time in my life eh eh)).
But in my opinion it makes sense... Also, consider the V800 also as a test for a stronger relationship between SE and an operator. I think they also wanted to test what it looks like to cooperate (brand phones) and maybe have a better access to market intelligence... (Voda sales figures, what customers want, complaint handling and so forth).

You see, last year at CeBit 2004 SE showcased the S700, the K700 and the P910 as well as releasing the following -
• Z500: Clamshell VGA camera phone with EDGE and Push-to-talk to be released exclusively in the northamerican market (GSM 850/1800/1900). support and exchangeable covers, but NO Infrared or Bluetooth. For Q3.
• T637 and T237 for the northamerican market, exact versions of the known T630 and T230.
• MMV-100 Multimedia Viewer: An innovative accesory that plugs to any common Television
• HCB-300 Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit:
• HBH-600 "Akono" Bluetooth Headset:
• GC83 and GC85 EDGE PC cards with detachable antenna.
• HCA-200 Advanced Car Handsfree Kit:
• HPS-20 Portable Handsfree:
• IAC-25: Active Case for most phones and versatile design that can be attached even to the user's arm.
Now I can't see SE showcasing the same models as they did last year, can you? The V800 is not exactly new anymore is it. So SE will come up with the goods this year without a doubt
@Pinnolo77. If there is a demand from the operators ie. Vodafone, for more 3G handsets and they approach SE then SE will simply have to come up with the goods of the business will go somewhere else.

SE will no doubt release more 3G handsets this year, but I would imagine that they may want to wait until they are ready to release UIQ3 non-touchscreen smartphones. 3G smartphones would be a huge boost for SE and it help cement their position at the top end of the 3G market.
3G adoption is increasing ever more rapidly in Europe, the UK already having four consumer 3G networks in operation. I can't see why SE wouldn't release a budget 3G handset to take advantage of the millions of customers who will be looking to move to 3G this year. SE, being a relatively small company in comparison to Nokia or Samsung, may not have the capacity to compete in significant terms in both the 2.5G and 3G markets, so they may try to focus on one more than the other or they may decide to compete in both markets in a limited fashion.

All of the larger manufacturers probably have more pull over se when comes to getting the likes of Arima to manufacture their products, they must have limited capacity.

a "cheap" 3G phone can be expected.
if the rumored Clara is real, and really has new connectors, we can see a few new acc aswell. like DSS-30 and CSS-30
the HBH-200 could have a succesor
2 symbian OS phones from SE this year. P930 and P1000 (names not official)
2 clamshells, a S700 style phone but smaller.
thats about it i think. not much i know...

@bart
Where did you get your information from?
When you say 'Symbian OS', I presume you are meaning UIQ3?

1st off Symbian is a nature os more nature than microsofts mobile iterations, and just as powerful. Epoc is its roots, and was on the Ericsson R380? The gui all different cause not all phones have keyboards.
