Member shaliron over at Esato appears to have done some serious homework compiling a list of all known Sony Ericsson handsets in the pipeline, complete with nifty color coding to indicate verified, debunked, and new intelligence. We encourage Sony Ericsson fans and non-fans alike to go check out the real deal, but in the meanwhile, we've put together a Reader's Digest peek here at some of the highlights. First up, the music-oriented Walkman series could be growing by a solid six devices in the coming months, topped off by a successor to the UIQ-based W950 codenamed "Maria," a (possibly UIQ-based) clamshell dubbed W910, and the oft-discussed Ai. The camera-focused (no pun inteded) Cyber-shot series will be enjoying a bumper crop itself: a successor to the K800 is allegedly already in the works, "Sofia," packing a 5 megapixel shooter, UMTS, and QVGA recording, while a possible Handycam-branded M600 variant would obviously reign supreme for its video capabilities. Other highlights include a promise that HSDPA will factor into the company's 2007 plans, a wide-scale migration of the FastPort connector to the sides of the handsets, and a shortening of the span from announcement to release of UIQ-based models (a move we applaud). As we said, there's plenty more juicy tidbits to digest over at Esato -- but even with what we've presented here, it's safe to say Sony Ericsson's shaping up for a killer '07. Any UIQ or 3G love for the US of A, folks?
sony dont forget to include US 850 and 3g....damn. The m600 would be my phone but NOOOOO US 3g band.
I have had to replace my P910a with a Series 60 thing (E62). Not bad, but it doesn't have near the ability to be customized as does a UIQ phone. Please! Please! Please! SE, don't forget about us Yanks over here. Some of us truly desire the sophistication of your offerings!
SE: We'll do anything to keep the P900-910-990 series serviceable. Don't cave in to the US public demand for oversimplified products that anyone (including the chicas who pretend to know about trons) can use. Keep the products sophisticated and GLOBAL.
