I really hope they will not botch the Idou as they did the Experia X1 and that it will manage to hit the market before the coming monster machines I named above.
Hell, I would even buy an Idou if SE will make it the way a smartphone should be made in this time and age.
Once upon a time Ericcson phones were the most desired and admired phones money could buy: I still remember fondly my T28i of about a century ago; and apparently the brand can still count on a number of hard core faithfulls.
In my opinion the nippo-swedish match was born in consumer electronic's hell.
Sony , if it has money to invest in R&D , prefers to invest it in branches of its business where it does'nt have to share the profits with those pesky sweeds and Ericcson seems to have decided that handsets are no more part of their core business (which remainds me of the story of the fox and the grapes).
The Idou will probably determine the fate of this glorious but rapidly decayng company, being born with an heavy load to carry on its thin bezel; and I'm really looking forward to check it out, because I really would like to be able to like it and possibliy buy it too.
For the moment It seems promising, but so did the X1 before being revealed as the disaster it turned out to be (currently the worst win mobile device bar none).
Now if SE would concentrate on bringing the Idou to the waiting geeky masses instead of keep on trying to push always the same phones that , is now obvious, nobody wants, maybe it would get a new lease on life.
Maybe.]]>Apr 14th 2009 2:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/
@KilgoreTrout: No money = no innovation = no new models. I'm feeling it too - I love my K850i. Hey, at least they haven't fired their marketing department yet... ]]>Apr 14th 2009 4:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/Apr 14th 2009 5:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/14/sony-ericssons-c905-plus-is-basically-a-c905/http://tinyurl.com/sssde
