Obviously when the clock hits zero.

K850 is a k800i replacement with a 5mpx cam. (N95 killer)

The other two are w900/950i replacements, both with cameras.

oh

 

[Scutch]

Should be good. I have a w900i at the moment, and could do with a new phone to be honest. Sticking with SE too

Shame because I'd like to know more. Wont a PM suffice?

Its like the GTA IV Trailer countdown. Only on a much larger scale, obviously

 

[Tom]

No lol.

[furry_cup]

the new sony ericsson designs seem to have gone a bit girly.

minimalistic tho i guess.

 

[Tom]

Ok, the watches have been launched.

The phones will follow, some of the videos from the link i postedcontain sneek pics of the new handsets.

 

[furry_cup]

[Tom]

Yes, the new bluetooth control watches.

 

[furry_cup]

[Tom]

[sneeks]

I imagine one of these will be my next phone as the N73 has been a huge disappointment to me and I fancy a change from Nokia.

 

[JR]

is there any outlook as to when the k850i will be on sale tom ?

 

[Tom]

Late august/september.

That gps device allows gps on ALL sony ericssons with a fast port.

I fancy a w960 with the gps addon! tomtom ahoy!

 

[sneeks]

The W960i looks nice but the touch scroll does not appear to work very well

[Tom]

Im not fussed, theres a jog dial on the side.

Sometimes people need to keep it simple.

 

[sneeks]

I'd more than likely use the jog dial too.

Depending on price I may well buy that, the current prediction is a bit steep but it does come with a good set of stereo BT headphones.

 

[Tom]

Well ive been using a p990i for a while now, and its great.

UIQ is a really brilliant OS, just needs a few bugs ironing out!

 

[sneeks]

I've mainly used Nokia Symbian OS phones over the past few years, I briefly had a K800i last year which was a nice phone to use but I did miss having sat nav on my phone. The recent Nokia Symbian phones are slooooooow, my N73 is a joke and I think I'll definitely buy the W960i as a replacement for it. Very impressed with the videos I've viewed of it.

 

[Tom]

Yeah i think i will too, but the k850 appeals too!

psp anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnBTD-Dxm1M&NR=1

 

[sneeks]

Both of them are very nice but if the price is OK then it'll be the W960i for me

That looks sexy. How much is that GPS remote control thing going to be? roughly? would be cool if not too much. My only gripe with my w950i is that it is slow and the buttons are v hard to text with.

 

[Tom]

The w950i will be updated with similar firmware to that of the w960i

it may lack some features, but the speed increase will be useful.

 

[Pablo]

Is there an official UK release date for the W960?

I'm biding my upgrade time with o2 for that one! Can't wait tbh, looks a really tidy phone.

Thanks,

Pete.

Glad i've seen this thread my contracts up and have rang up this morning to upgrade to the new samsung G600, don't think i'll bother now. Going to wait until the K850 comes out i think, i've had 2 sony ericssons before my awful N73 and will be glad to go back. The N73 is the worst phone i've ever had, i'm sick of it freezing, crashing and taking an eternity to send texts.

 

[sneeks]

I'm in agreement regarding the n73, it is the worst Nokia i've ever owned.

 

[Lou]

I'm waiting on the K850i too!! Should be available next month!!
