First time I saw the unclear or fuzzy pics of Ai I thought the phone was ugly. Now with these shots I still think the phone's ugly, really disappointing from the design perspective. |

scotsboyuk, i think it is QVGA becasue i checked the aspect ratio of the screen from those pictures and according to that its more like 4:3 than 4:5 but my calculations may be wrong.

Thanks for pics!! I like the looks of this phone, just too bad that the screen is so small.
Btw... look how small the icons are in the main menu..... that has to be QVGA. |

Here's what I can draw from those (improved) spy shots:
- The ratio of the screen in those spy pics is 4:5, which is the ratio of 176x220. But I don't think a 176x220 screen could render graphics as finely as what is shown. Look at it, the icons at the bottom of the screen are very small, might be too small for a 176x220 screen, but perfect for a QVGA. Very confused, but I'd bet a 176x220, purely out of ratio.
- The Ai is around 106x46x9.4mm big. So around the same as the K800, only slimmer, maybe it'll be a tiny bit wider (but less than 50mm I think).
- The Ai will come in both black and silver (like I said
 ).
- The Ai has no flash.
- The Ai's numerical buttons are about the same size as the gaming buttons on the K800.
I like the Ai better now  I always knew that SE wouldn't make any mistakes, so those earlier shots were earlier prototypes.
Still, the buttons are tiny, and the dpad looks like no fun to use. No flash for the camera (unless that logo is meant to light up) is a bit sad.
Looks wise, it's more of a grower. I'll like it quite a bit eventually, just like the K800  The silver one is much better; remember the black Ai has a completely orange back!
I never liked the X820, and the Ai is a much better looking device.
On the other hand, the W200 is looking very nice for a low end. Don't know why they had to put a joystick in though, especially because it's a  phone.
UPDATE:
- SE is out to make a gaming mobile. And no, not a PSP phone.

And look what I've also found! 
Reflections of the devices which took the pictures, and both of them seem to fit the initial descriptions of two very big phones.
The first one looks like an N93 style clamshell, at least in the way that he is holding it, except it'd have to be an phone. Could it be the Euro version of the W44S?
And the second one looks to be the back of a highly anticipated phone - the Sofia. And the Sofia looks to be in red, just like the K610, and has a circular lens area.
Big stuff.

oh my goodness.... i am shocked.
I have always liked sony ericsson's designs. i thought they bring the best looking phones, but this portfolio... um.... not very impressed.
It looks too metallic I think, too much shiny silver things on it. The motorola RAZR, that metal finish was briliant, but this management of metal wasn't so good.
I think it is possible that when it is released the design will change. I really hope they change. The phone has good potential i think, but the design of the keys are .... not very good.
Other than the design, I think Sony ericsson has a very strong tech spec line. I like their new strategy of separating the Walkman line and the camera line. |

That pic of the Ai looked sharp. Must be because of the CCD 5MP on the Sofia.
January can not come soon enough. |

@shaliron
I can see you are seeing reflections in the phones. The on in the Ai could be a phone or a camera, but the reflection in the K800 has fingers aka a hand.
I don't want a signature anymore. |
