This could be my first smartphone if it only has really nice specifications which of course I think it will.

please Eldar don't let us to wait for that long time

My first question is

Does Hermione have touchscreen?

saliquincer

Hermine is P200 ?

Shinichi

Hi, i want to know will Hermione Granger have QWERTY keyboard?

EldarMurtazin

maki101,
just have a call from Germany today, they are strongly ask do not publish any puzzles about this product. I hope that they could send something in return how they promise and we see K800 and V850 soon on this pages

EldarMurtazin

Shinichi,
yes it has

Shinichi

Thanks Eldar. Then do you mind to tell us all what form factor Hermione Granger is in? Normal candy bar type?

McKinley

I think Eldar has a lot of eyes watching him.
Better be careful Eldar... we respect your great job you are doing for us


K800 and V850?
Interesting!!

EldarMurtazin

Shinichi,
yes

Lazar

what is k800 now ?

Clara is k750, so what will k800 have more than clara ?

is it comming out same time ?

EldarMurtazin

Lazar,
later

seedub

I love your little cryptic messages on answering questions Eldar. I know you cant say anything and people still have to ask. Its really quite comical

satsuma

Eldar,

Will Hermione be previewed at CeBit?
You said yes to candybar but does it lose the flip?
I am assuming it incorporates UIQ3.0 - therefore, is it one-handed operation to battle series 60 2nd edition or does it retain touchscreen?
From a strategic point of view, it will be interesting to see whether UMTS functionality is included - Nokia is going "hell for leather" and I expect to see at least 3/4 more series 60 UMTS handsets launched this year. But battery life can be severly effected on 3G phones (using current chipsets) not to mention the additional graphics, sound and hard disk functionalities being introduced this year.
This could possibly give people a smartphone with rubbish battery life - a lot of P-series people are business travellers and don't necessarily want to compromise on battery life. I suppose you can always choose to switch the 3G radio off (if the handset allows you) - but I would like to see an SE uber smartphone without 3G first with a 3G analogue introduced very late this year

deuxani

Is it much smaller than the P900, something like a S700, or just the regulare P-series size?

EldarMurtazin

seedub,
frankly i answer in most cases, give some hints and directions... i'm not put full specs but who needs it

deuxani,
regular, but qwerty keypad placed not in the same place it is strange in some way and looking as in HP communicator

satsuma,
hope it wil be UIQ 3, frankly I dont play with prototype, Im not sure that they are exists even for most of developers

MR

EldarMurtazin,

that story from Germany is the same I heard! There are some prototypes and there was a clay model. It will be UIQ 3.0. It cannot be that it is not.

Hint for everybody: I won't give info either! Sorry, I respect my sources.

MR

Memzee

I don't think Granger will be soon, will it? I haven't seen any info. about it on EMMA.. *cough*

Nille

EldarMurtazin, MR,
CAn you tell us when it arrives on the market?

MR

Nille,

Check the forum, search it and you will find your info. Some questions are already
answered.

(I think that we as forum are watched from several sides and special places. So we need to be carefull to keep the forum in tact and be the first place for news.)

EldarMurtazin

Memzee,
November I think

Nille

MR,
As fair as i could search my conclution is that Hermione if it's p1000 will be out q4. But since p910 is a small upgrade of p900, i think it will be on the market q3 if se want to keep their customers.

Memzee

EldarMurtazin, that seems likely.

K750i and Z800i are closer - firmware already being tested.

Eldar, I'm a little confused. Is the real code name Hermione? Or Granger? I think I know a little info. about this model already.. if it's what I think it is.

mrMobile

Eldar will it be 3G or 2G, also how big is the screen and last year a SE guy told me SE will release 2 smartphones, so we going to see a smartphone presented at 3GSM or Cebit?

My understanding is it will be 3G and landscape screen.

deuxani

Are there hard disks in any of the upcoming SE models this year? That's my only wish

mrMobile

I think they need it now, 3Q is too far. Look at MPX, A1000 etc they have all the latest technologies like 3G or WiFi.

MR

mrMobile,

Need it now? Give SE a call and tell them, then I have a nice device the coming weeks.

nils

About which one are we talking about the commi or the small one

MR

The commi one!

mustafabay

Granger is just an adittion by people that read Harry Potter. Personally I've never heard the name Hermione used before HP and would tend to think of Granger as soon as Hermione is mentioned.

legend_killer_666

Are there any pics of the Hermione?

mrMobile

So granger is the small one? and Hermione is the Commi one?

aLx

EldarMurtazin, are you saying that SE will release two premium candybar handsets this year?

maki101

Eldar,

Picturess of K800 and V850 for unshowing the Hermione???

I take it

EldarMurtazin

mustafabay, good point

mustafabay

EldarMuratzin[B]
Although now Granger has been turned into the codename for the P1000 in your topic about the Clara :-)

DUNGA

Would make sense if Hermione has integrated Wifi, and become direct competitor to Motorola's next response in the Mpx touch screen series....

nils

MDA IV resembles the commi in a way!

maki101

Eldar,
can we expect something from SE that will be a concurent for Nokia 6681 in 2005

EldarMurtazin

maki101,
yes

deuxani

Finally.

sasha-SE

yes finnaly

McKinley

Ahh finally and of course, this one will be better
<---- Sony Ericsson-sighted person

maki101

EldarMurtazin,
Thank you for your answer,
that is a great news, I'm sure that will be sale very well!
???????.

sasha-SE

ofcourse maki101

mustafabay

So we get two smartphones this year a big one and a little one. Any chance one of them will be at Cebit?? And anything else about it can wait two more weeks

mrMobile

Eldar will see 2 smartphones from SE? when they are going to release 1 with wi fi, can u tell us features and design plz

Dyce9984

so the question you need to ask yourself is, which is the walkman phone, and which is the blackberry phone???
And therefore which is the candybar, and which is the slider?


My thinking is that the Candybar is the blackberry one with Qwerty Keyboard, and the slider is the walkman phone

Eldar don't say if I got it right or wrong, as I don't want you to get in trouble

[edit] - from Reuters - The Walkman phones will also be the first networked Walkmans to use open software standards for compression and piracy protection.
At the same time, Sony's Connect music store will also introduce open standard software to compress tracks and protect them against piracy, Flint said. Sony currently uses its proprietary ATRAC and MagicGate technology to do that.

looks like they could be using memstick pro magicgate for the walkman phone

mustafabay

Poor Hermione, everybody is so intersted in clara nobody wants to talk about you.

So what is hermione apart from having UIQ 3.0?

daro

This thread seems to have died? Why? Now we have waited another month and a half and still no more info!!
I would have prefered some more info on Hermione instead of those. I'm so tired of all small useless candybar phones, with animated icons or without, who cares. Give us some info on a P-series phone NOW, please .

Since I started to use these kind of phones everything else is of no intrest. I've had them all, and everyone is a bit better then the last one, but there is still things missing, like 3G, WiFi and a good camera!! And a good interface to use the phone without the flip!
