Well according to press releases from Sony Ericsson, their A200 Java 8 Platform phones have accelerometers...... So far all their Java 8 phones have accelermometers (Z750, K850, W910) |

If we research to their developer site, JP-8 does not have native support for extending accelerometer's capability as seen in W910, but they have added accelerometer function by embeeding the accelerometer API JSR-256 to enable UI autorotate, and motion sensor in gaming. aside from the JSR-256, SE also added OpenGL ES API for better 3D games in JP-8. note: OpenGL-ES is the Graphics API used on Symbian S60/UIQ Smartphones.

AFAIK, Daniela is the Cyber-shot slider (probably the slider version of K800).
from my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing. |

So wait then JP - 8 will have accelerometer then right?
Even if it's optional, Sony Ericsson really needs some "umph" in their phones to actually compete in the world's market. Currently there are 4th, if they ever want to rise in their ranks, we need some interesting, innovative features to attract consumers to purchase their phones. I'm sticking with Sony Ericsson all the way since i love their phones. I used to say Sony Ericsson is to "apple" as Nokia is to "microsoft" (I'm an apple fan too) but that's until Apple introduced the iPhone (let's not go into the iPhone discussion).

we didn't finish this year, and you make a new Sony Ericsson Portfolio ?:P
Shaliron asked me to open a new thread as he has other commitments right now and so can't be as dedicated. The old thread was opened in October 2006, so I think the time was right.

AFAIK, Daniela (as said in the old thread) is the Z750.
The best way to find out the codenames of the phones is by going through the service menus of them when they come out.
...and I'm liking the black W890. Hope they come out with a Cyber-shot version (to succeed the K770) as well - one with JP-8.

Anyway will there be a touch screen iteration of the A-series platform? or will it be the main input for the next A300 platform? |

Of course you can also check out FCC. The W960 is up, btw. It's named Mooi. So please, stop any doubts about this now. Thanks |

I'm no insider  so what I say is just through reasoning (with some facts of course).
The current JP-8 doesn't support touchscreen, and I reckon Maria will be one of the few touchscreen based phones from SE, perhaps the only one. There's only one (expensive) iPhone, and all there needs to be is one (expensive) solution from SE.
SE's probably waiting to see the market reaction to touchscreen based phones, and maybe then they'll move down towards more midrange phones.

So probably they don't consider iphone's hit as substantial for making the A-series touchscreen

Well, the iPhone is also combined with a very large amount of hype and very clever marketing. Whether consumers prefer (expensive) touchscreen phones for the entire marketplace remains to be seen.
Remember - touchscreen based phones need large screens and that means large phones (width and height). It's also expensive to have large screens, and if all phones had huge screens, they'd also all have to be expensive as well.
So as it stands, one fairly expensive phone with touchscreen seems the way to go. Maybe having a 'flagship' consumer product (touch based) that people would pay a nice premium to use, and a phone which is distinctive in the portfolio to justify a high price; for everyone else, a 'simple' hard key based phone seems perfectly acceptable IMO.
Not everyone is prepared to spend a lot on a phone, and likewise people probably don't want to have a substandard touch platform on a small screen when a good 'old fashioned' way to do it is better.
