SONY makes me laugh! On 4 Sep 03:18 jem wrote can u make a phone that has two (2) network subscription at the same time. 2 SIM in one On 2 Sep 06:50 mark wrote What the reason in branding? Cyber-shot phone K800 is dissapointing in picture quality, and especially in video quality. I bet WEGA phone will be poor compared to competitors like sharp 905 or nokia n92. SE is fooling us :( What next? SE handycam phones? With poor video recording? On 1 Sep 23:27 flshlord wrote May be PSPhone and vaio phones are on the way.

Eather way, a future hit!!!

Some suggestions ... incredibly high res screens (no less than VGA). DMB-TV channel selection like FEEDS/Favorites that can be modified or updated with region (timezone switching). DONT countersink volume buttons please / make them robust. On 31 Aug 22:19 mswallis wrote No we don't want Wega phones, we want High Definition Bravia ones! On 31 Aug 21:42 apolloa wrote This is no surprise, Sharp have launched a mobile TV phone with there Aquos technology AND name on it. Hopefully the tech from these companies will filter down to there other models too.
