T920 and T921 sound interesting. Very high index (as mentioned before). Could these be the two VGA screened mobiles for next year?
Oh wait... we don't know that yet, so...
UPDATE:
- Beginings of 'designer' and 'premium' series. The T650 is an example of a designer model - a mobile which values form over function, although SE is trying to create a 'semi-premium' range which is set apart by its design.
- A mobile with to compete against the Nokia 8xxx series may be out by Spring (Q2) 2008.
- In Q3 2007, the A100 platform (the default non-smartphone platform) functionality will be upgraded again. These changes include:
- Support for electronic transactions, mobile banking, etc.
- Mobile commerce
- GPS support, and programs associated with GPS.
- Supprt for VoIP
- 3D graphics
- Content hadler API
- Scalable 2D vector graphics API for JAVA ME
- Mobile internationalization API
- Support for OPEN GL
- Support for motion sensors (accelerometers). This means intergration of accelerometers and games (and other Java applications).
- Intergrated graphics chips to be incorporated with the launch of gaming orientated mobiles (to be released in 2008).
- Continuing support for both M2 and MicroSD.
- No inbuilt GPS for 2007-2008. Rather, it will continue to be intergrated in the handsfree kits. GPS applications will be bundled though.
- 2008 mid range will still be based on the non-smartphone A100 platform.
- A couple of phones (music orientated) will have 3.5mm headphone jacks on the actual body of the mobile - music orientated meaning Walkman branded mobiles.
- MicroUSB sockets could be intergrated in SE mobiles.
- The K850 style touch sensitive softkeys will be further incoporated into the portfolio. They will eventually move ino the mid range.
- QVGA screens are going to intergrated in the Sony Ericsson portfolio more reasily in 2008. That means, that QVGA should finally become standard for the mid range.
- VGA screens will also appear on two mobile next year.
Notice how some of that is next year's info. My note:
The 'huge' rumour thread about next year's portfolio will begin later this year; I will start it sometime in October or November.
For now there will be a separate section dedicated to 2008 rumours in this post.

i'm looking towards the W910, it really attracts me(the black/silver version)  though W960,K850 is so attractive. |

Yeah, the white screen of dead is quite annoying. You allways have to go to a service point, or flash your mobile again. Let them fix it forever  |

Now, I've received some more information regarding the T920 and T921.
On a Polish forum, a guy who's been playing around with that red Shinobu (W910) prototype, and it identifies itself as:
User-Agent SonyEricssonT921i/R1AB Browser/NetFront/3.4 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Strange how it reads T921 ain't it? The source who gave me this info assumes that T920 would be the W908c and T921i would be the W910.
I reckon it means that the T920 is a close relative of the W910. Possibly a slim Cyber-shot slider or something along those lines.
UPDATE:
- There is to be a NTT DoCoMo SonyEricsson SO704i announced in July. It's a flip phone. Specifications include: WCDMA, exchangeable covers (style-up panels with illumination lights), 2 megapixel autofocus camera, and a widescreen. 2.74" TFT screen (240x432).
- T920/T921 could be referring to W908c/W910 or a brother phone of Shinobu (W910).

Oh NO, please say it isn't so... 
I was looking forward to GPS being integrated by next year...

Finally!! That's literally music to my ears! No more stupid fast-port adaptor! Wooohoo! Now I can use my phone in quiet areas without fear of the connector accidentally coming loose.
