Ridahz, I completely agree. After seeing the T650, those prototype pics of that 5MP camera phone could very well be Sofia/K850i.
I can't wait till Sofia is released. So it looks like the October release date is probably true since all of the recent announcements will be out between July-September, IE T650, S500, P1i, Z750i, etc.
Cheers for agreeing mate they are so similar so i wouldnt be surprised but the look on that "Fake K850i" are growing on me.

Probably, but it has been hinted at in this thread that there is more than one 5.0MP phone in development / testing and the green 'sofia' pic that we seen looked to be quite old and battered as if it had been around for a while - although from what I can remember the picture was taken late 2006.

Hello T650...
Hello K850 (Sofia)...
Someone tell me that looks a fake now when that fake K850 pic has been around for sooo long and the T650 has just been announced. Im gonna stand by that "Fake" as the REAL deal.

I guess your right mate but what else could it be?
I actually like that phone now

@Ridahz
Well the buttons on the T650i are the first time we have seen buttons like that so the Sofia could have been a test bed for them and other stuff.
Originally I thought the phone was too big to be Sofia but then I realised its the same shape and size as a K610, which is what Sofia is rumoured to be much the same as - wide and flat (14mm thin).

I have a couple of questions...
a) What is the pin hole to the left of the ear-piece for on the T650 and on the supposed early Sofia proto pics? It appears what was earlier passed off as the video calling camera is on the T650 also but the T650 has a video call camera on the right hand side.
b) Could it be a possibility that the sofia prototype pictures are actually pictures of an early T650, but SE decided to go for the 3.2MP instead of a 5MP unit, thus making the 5MP unit more exclusive to Sofia (and possibly one other)?
c) Wht the hell is that stand attached to the T650 in the above picture?? I've not seen one of those before! Obviously some kind of docking station for SE phones with the port on the side. Does any one else have more info? |

a) Its an ambient light sensor, this adjusts the brightness of the keypad etc in relation to the surrounding lighting conditions. Saves battery power.
b) Possibly but I would say more 3.2mp cams were in the pipeline anyway.
c) I bellieve that stand is exclusive to the T650i

b) its the K850 (cybershot), not made from the same materials as the T650 (emotional)
c) its the new charging stand that comes with the T650 that makes charging via the side fastport easier. (only for K650 atm as its for the exact height of the T650)

Thanks for the answers, but does this mean that sofia won't have a front camera? Is that because it's data rates will be less than 3g or because they just hadn't designed one into the proto? I suppose time will tell but I know some of you must be smarties and have the answer so please share. |

@driftmania, script and whoever else...
1 of 4 in this forum? that might be true, but think of it. who frequents this forums? out of the whole phone buying population? is it the casual phone user, or gadgeteers who expect the best of their devices?
whatever SE is doing, they're going in the right direction profit wise and catering to the majority market, as their figures show. and that indicates more and more of the market are purchasing SE phones. do you still think that they are going in the 'wrong' direction? just cos' they're not doing what YOU want them to do? they as a corporate entity has a vision as to what the market as a whole would expect, and they're doing so with a solid foundation in mind.
I'm not saying SE would not venture into the 'experimental' and high-tech market anytime soon, after all they did come out with the W900i (an 'experimental' phone for a niche market). but don't you think the features that gadgeteers expect are coming too fast too soon? there's life yet in the VGA camera market, what to say the 3.2MP cameras. do you expect them to go into the 5MP market that soon? what next? 10MP? DSLR camera phones? what I'm saying is the mass market needs time to adjust, and what's wrong with not being a pioneer and just refining what you're good at in the mid-end?
you have a right to complain that SE doesn't have this or that, but what's the point? just get a N95 or whatever it is you like. it's May, and SE hasn't even revealed half of their portfolio this year. they might be taking their time, the new products might not meet YOUR expectations. at the end of the day, it shows in SE's market share.
