When they released the K850i the middle model up before the next flagship was C902, before that the K810i...how come we never got like a C906? I guess the W995 was but am I right in saying Sony Ericsson are done with Walkman and Cybershot brands for cheapness?

Is the C905 the last Cybershot and is the W995 the last walkman? I know there doing a entertainment phone or something?

I think SE have lost way now. Nokia are poor but reliable. LG and Samsung especially are making the best phones now. I'm off to get my Pixon 12 before the end of the year.

Full marks for the W995 though it's what the C905 should have been. I hope they keep making new good phones as I'd hate to see them go the way Motorola and Sagem went.

I can't see me buying another SE for a while now as there's no decent flagships apart from the 12MP one. No non touch alternatives. I guess the credit crunch means less SE phones?

It's my second choice though. LG's looks awful.

HD video would have been nice.

Hundreds of megabytes's worth of crappy stretched VGA video? No thanks.
Even if there was an option for HD video, I'd turn it off.

I hope there is another A2 'C906' (preferably with touch focus is camera mode). Went to a big birthday do last weekend and it took really nice shots. I was really impressed.

It's going to be A3 from now on.
You know, along with Symbian, WM and Android.

Maybe aino is the upgrade on C905? Has pretty much the same functions with better software and touch function. It's a pity that the d-pad is under the slider, though

@Nightblade

I still don't know wether the software from Yari and Aino is A3 or not? Can you shed some light on this? Because Eldar says it is, but he has gone mad imo and I see no big updates from the software in W995, C510, W903 and so on.

there wouldn't be any C906 at all...

C stands for Cybershot

the 9 stands for highend
the 0 for the generation
and the 5 for the form in this case a 5 is a slider

but anyway it seems like SE turns away from the Numbers and gives the futere handsets real Names...

Aino is most certainly not C905's successor and yes, it's running on A3 together with Yari.

Lets hope there is then as Cyber-shot dual fronts are one of the things they excel at well and I can't to see whats coming next.
