I don't know anything about A300 yet but if Sony Ericsson really want to stay competitive as a dumbphone maker, they should fit in full support for touch screen, higher resolution of course, updated look with more eye candy, well integrated social crap stuff, digital compass, fluent map application experience and more versatile web browser with at least Flash 9.4 support etc. With all the bells and whistle, a powerful CPU is needed and I don't think ARM A11 is up for that task even at 600MHz.
I know it uses an ARM11 processor at 434MHz only, but just have a look at the N97 which lags from time to time and 166MHz is most likely not enough for a feature phone á la Aino sucessor, if something like that ever will be released?
If you look at the Nokia E52/E55/E72 all those run on the 600Mhz ARM11 chipset with no hardware acceleration (E71 on 434Mhz ARM 11) is able to handle Flash Lite3.1 (sites using Flash9; we're at Flash 10 on the web now). Also on those models S60 3rd Edition FP2 is VERY fast, smooth and stable. Sure it doesn't have animated Wallpapers or Standby screens but this is done via 3rd party software and works well. Recall these are smartphones, not feature phones, and run a full gamut of software simultaneously interacting with the phone's systems or in standby, all using 128MB of memory (E72=256MB RAM, and Many SE phones today have 100-141MB storage, I'm unsure about the RAM).
It's all in the code and its efficiency of the OS. Just be preppared for increased prices IF you want & get TI OMAP3430 with full firmware support (beagleboard costs $142US, but its a naked board that is WAY too large to fit in a phone unless you want an N900 brick).
I agree for higher resolutions, and better performance; maybe not on the Touchscreen (not everyone wants this). I don't feel you should have a touchscreen for the classical  layout but its about choice right? I do think SE rushed into the Touchscreen with the basic firmware without giving it proper RAM, improved cpu and hardware acceleration for the video displayed.

I just had a thought. Why are there no WLAN enabled flip/clamshell phones made by any company outside of China/Japan/Sputh Korea?!!!!!
I figured by now 's long line of Z-series clamshell phones which sen predates the k750 would get wifi after the w705/715/995 models. Even HTC was rumored to have a solidly leaked smartphone, a thin wm2003 model that didn't get released.
I'm not just talking about North America here but also Europe as well. Thereare many people that still want a wifi enabled clamshell phone and SE can make a profitable entry with one into the marketplace. Motorola did have a wm smartphone that was a dual clamshell (mpx/mpx300) but that was not a traditional clamshell.
I wonder Y this is so avoided??
Any update on Sunny?!!!

Oh yeah one other thing.
has officially announce that they'll have announcements and participation at the Mobile World Conference 2010 on February 17th in Barceloma. Announcing this earlybefore any other manufacturer must mean they have somethings huge to show off!!

Susan has an X10 feel to it as well, as do some of the others........design wise. HTC have laid the smackdown saying that there will be 10+ devices on Android, will respond with a few of their own which is good news. Apparently the MWC will see a bad boy phone being announced, Susan and Sunny are appetisers. I hope people will be impressed with the new set of designs by because I have seen a couple that are quite challenging on the eye.......... |

Maybe Susan and Sunny sort of 2010's Fillippa and Frances?
Both are announced before the MWC
And maybe Susan and Sunny will be announced at the same timeframe like C901 and C903 earlier this year?
Just my opinion |

Of course there is. At least from what I know. I also too believe this is an android duo as it can be told by the buttons and how the UI looked so android in the mock ups. Another thing is how on SE's site there are 2 options for android screen sizes and one is 240x320. Its pretty obvious if you ask me. |

Mobile TV phones from SE? Yes please! I hope its like the ones we see with those antennas that give you free brodcast TV, and not pay for TV. If so I cannot wait to see if this comes to fruition. |

That looks familiar to Susan but it does NOT look like the original Beibei that circled around the web some year(s) ago. The BeiBei that circled, that I recall, was a slider, and didn't have that scrollwheel inside a DPad, it had a circular shaped D-Pad similar to the W810 but circled the wheel like the original iPod click wheel.
To be honest if Susan makes it to production I don't think that it'll use a ScrollWheel (rubberband) +Dpad combo, especially if its to be water-resistant. It would be better (for consumers, image of quality builds, and manufacturing expenses for returns, maybe NOT initial production costs) to have an optical sensor inside the D-Pad (much like Nokia E72) that is calibrated to provide the same function. and also its just easier to maintain a seal to keep dust/water out that a sliding scroll-pad.
