Even parallel importers won't sell it under $1000. Its one of the first 8MP phones so it won't be cheap even at an importer unfortunately. I shudder to think what price Vodafone is going to ask for it...

Probably be priced similar to the N95 8GB - $1399
Can't see it getting anywhere near $700 at all.
What about W902 when the importers get it. $999 on release?

Yeah I'd say your estimates are about right, carkitter.

Looking at the NZ SE range I'd say the big news will be the X1 and the W595 which if priced at $599-699 on release it'll take off. Still can't believe we're not getting the W902, the importers will be laughing all the way to the bank!
Judging by the special price on V640i's and the short life-span of the V630i here, I'm wondering if Vodafone are holding off releasing the G502 until their ready to do to the V640i what the K610 did to the V630i, probably at a price of $399 too.
The K770i and C702 clash also. Even more reason why Vodafone should have gone for the T650i.

I wouldn't bet on America. They get hardly any SE phones and from what I gather, are not very well priced either. I'd say somewhere like Singapore, Hong Kong or somewhere in Europe.

Possibly! Nobody here has done one for the C902 yet so I might just do that. I'll have to take some pointers from your V640i review!

The thing that puts me off the C905 is that its a slider. After my W910i, I don't want another slider.
I'll be glad to be back to a good old candybar in the next few days when my C902 arrives, and I think I'll stick to candybars from now on. Or maybe clamshells if SE makes a really good one with the looks of the W980 or V800i and specs that beat the C902.
