For the record, I see no evidence of "spot-blurring" to cover up any buttons or non-buttons. The entire thing is blurry. But it's a screencap of a video, so that's to be expected.
I suspect if things are strategically blurred in future pictures, it will be to cover up specs (like the camera resolution sticker on the back, even though we all know what it is).

I look forward to seeing the pic of the back portion of it. Im sure Paris will look fantastic once announced. Release date sounds very promising. I just hope it isnt a W960i 'wait till next year' situation again! People on this forum would explode  Its those 'Slaying' specs that will determine my opinion of this phone now.
(Also: LaurenK: 2 years!!??? I wish I had more money! *looks at 3 yr old K700i* LOL!)

I love phones.
I have a crappy RAZR I got free on contract, a K790 because I love James Bond, an N95 because I had to have it. I'll keep the K790 for nostalgia, ditch the N95, pick up the P5, and get a Z750 for cheap when my contract is extended.
That's not including all the CDMA phones I had before I switched to GSM.
Though I'm not going to be able to keep this up...which is why Paris will need to last a long time while I save up.
I too want to see the back of Paris. And the keyboard, even though I know what it looks like. And the side. And the top. And... |

Finally some actual photos to calm the unbelievers! And like i said last week, announcement before end of May.
Regarding the looks, i find funny all the moaning - when it comes out, and with high res photos, people will drool. It is not a super beauty, but certainly its not horrible like some say now, that just makes me laugh - what is beatifull? the n95? The n82? The tytn? Lol
You all shoud be talking now about specs, not design. I am almost certain, its a vga screen, but need confirmation. And i need definite info about the processor
And i am glad they went for the p1 type qwerty, every day i love it more...the speed i got writing this post with it is just amazing, and it alows keeping the phone small (x1 keyboard is great but makes it too big)

Right now, my irrational fear that it's triband is creeping up. I see the tell-tale blue triangle above the reception bars and that scares me a lot. Of course, this could be my eyes deceiving me, or it could be that the screen is faked like they usually are in videos.
It probably isn't since I can't believe SE would screw up their most high-tech phone ever by sticking such a crummy radio in it--especially with all the progress that's been made in the past year and the fact that the X1 has all frequencies on board.
Still, crossing my fingers. I NEED a quadband UIQ phone.

We get a show after a show, and we always end up waiting for new phones. We always ending hoping that will never come.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

@laurenke01: I believe you will get what you want. SE has said they are focussing on the American market more this year, which we haven't seen much of so far, but this is their top phone, their flagship. If the X1 is anything to go by (being another flagship), you'll get your quadband.

@Oli: Yeah, that's the logic I'm trying to use.
Also, if they want to compete with the likes of, well, any similarly-spec'ed phone out there, it must be quadband.
Plus, I can always fall back to the X1 if I have to, but I reeeeally don't want to.
I trust Paris will be everything I want and more.

... and where is the JOG DIAL ? 
... no, no ... this is not right ... me needs a Jog ... !
on another matter ... It does look like there is something semi-transparent sticked on the front of the phone to hide the goods from us ...

I don't think UIQ does those anymore really. Not in the form you're used to anyway. I think the optical D-pad is the way its headed.

Tada! Here we go again. It makes me happy to know that I'm not the only "phone-freak" out there. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts and asks if I am trying to open up a phone store.
Right now I have the N95-4 does very very well. But I would like to go back to SE. Last SE phone was the W850. Come on Quad-Band HSDPA support for the US!!!

Ok somethings weird about the image, thats for sure. Maybe it just wasn't the best place in the video to take a still screen from, but heres some things I want to point out:
Within the blue circle, there is a lot of blurring that isn't consistent with the rest of the phone, like its not the same texture as the top of the phone for example. This makes it appear as if somebody is hiding something from us.
Within the red circles its even more obvious and you can sort of make out what appears to be buttons which appear to have been blurred out by someone. I think this is what Tigershark was trying to point out.
You may need to refer back to the original to see what's in the red circles, as my awesome circling skills meant the blue circle blocked it out!

And I can't WAIT to try out Wayfinder 7 with this thing. I've not been too impressed with the N95's GPS as of late.
Oli: Definitely agree with you about the objects in the red circles, not too sure about the blue circle. It's definitely blurry, but so is the rest of it.
