Heard some rumblings from various websites about some fashion phones from SE. Something to finally combat the various RAZRs and SLVRs should be coming up later this year as the final announcement of new models for this season.
It would be good for SE to have something for that market niche that they still haven't gone into since way back to the T610 (which is only ladies SE phone that I can think of).

Yeah, this is true:

Around Oktober/ November will new phone(s) be announced in the 'Emotional Line' of SE! They compete with Motorola`s RAZR and SLVR, the 'SlimLine' of Samsung and the Chocolate range of LG.

So, I think this is a great step forward for SE:
- Allot of new very good phones announced: 20 models in 4 months!
- The first slider announced last week.
- New series of phones: - Business - Imaging - Music - Emotional design

So keep it up Sony Ericsson! You know we love you..!

I would like to know what happened to Miyu.

This never materialised. It was the rumoured "slim 3g silver stylish handset" according to the pre-release info/leak.

will it be one of these ace looking phones that have shite specs...?

i would assume so, right.

hence a fashion accessory rather than a top notch gadget.

A W850i with:
- 2 megapixel PROTECTED AF camera
- Better video at least QVGA or QCIF
- Real D-pad instead of that ugly thing

Actually I don't think that there was any mention of the 3G phone to be slim. Only stylish, but I'm not saying that it couldn't be thin.

I would care if the specs were shite, in fact it would add some diversity to the SE range, and a bit of competition.

What´s wrong with both?? Freedom of choice is not a bad thing.

Sony Ericsson...

First they used "Walkman" brand for phones, then they used "Cybershot" brand for phones. Now that the public asks for stylish design, what will they use?
"Sony Style"
or maybe, in the near future, the "Vaio" brand for the PDA-like models?

I think Sony as a whole produces some nice design and maybe they should put some into good use in a phone.
Phones do pretty much all the same stuff (some better and others worse) and design is becoming increasingly important as a choice criteria among users.

I would love to see the first "Sony Ericsson Vaio Design" phone of some sort coming out...

FASHION and PREMIUM segment is a must. There are real demand for stylish and elegant phones. For example the production cost of a Nokia 8800 is not so mutch higher comaperd to the 6230i however it has a three times higher price. This premium model causes extremely high profit for Nokia what can be used for Research purposes. Sony Ericsson compeletly lacks these kind of devices however there would be high demand for a stylish stainless steel phone with luxurious design..

Another update, and (I think) comfirmation of the existance of a fahion mobile that is yet to be released by Eldar.

I was reading through the W710's review again, and during the themes section while he was talking about the FemaleLine theme he said this.

Quote:

On the other hand FemaleLine is worth of attention, as it transfigures the phone into a feminine clamshell (it seems this theme will be ruling in a handset, which is still to be announced) : it provides a completely different way of menu outlook, re-shaped icons, all in all it’s definitely worth checking out.



EDIT: And before anyone tells me off for copying se-nse, I didn't! I only just read it, and it just so happened that our posts look identical! Spare me from plagarism
