To be announced SE phones:

Charlotte

imode stick phone

Moly
1,3 Mp thin clamshell, dual display, metal finish (T610design), FM, BT, MS pico

Miyu

It this correct?

ud

nothing mentioned bout k800..walkmen version. if there's gonna be any

chlettn

playdead, the 'MS pico' you mention are M2's I assume?
Riko sounds like a phone for NTT DoCoMo...iMode isn't really used in Europe afaik, and 'stick phone' is the term for the SO902i, so probably an upgrade for that phone...

DUNGA

I Mode is still used in Europe, I used it for a couple of years...

chlettn

DUNGA, but is it used enough to warrant a phone with that capability? I just thought that the explicit mention of iMode and the term 'stick phone' may be hints that 'Riko' is a phone for the Japanese market.

DUNGA

Well Sony Ericsson never launched an I Mode phone in Europe, so I really have no clue if they will decide to do that... I Mode is most popular in France as far as I know, anything is possible... Yet it can be just for the Japanese market, but I doubt that in my opinion...

points

Yeah, France, Belgium, Netherlands, AFAIK.

chlettn

Germany had (has?) it too, but afaik there hasn't been a new iMode capable handset in ages there, so I assumed that this service just slowly died in Europe...

Memzee

O2 has just launched i-Mode in the UK.. well in the last couple of months anyway, and they're putting quite a lot of emphasis on it in their recent ad campaigns, highlighting that you can go on eBay etc.

So don't be too surprised.

chlettn

OK, then...the German operator E-Plus launched it something like 3 years ago, when there was a real difference between WAP and iMode...but it has been successful there.

Can't see a single reason for using iMode nowadays, but why not

kavorka

AFAIK you are correct on Miyu and Cyndi

athos1111

So - being curious only about candybars - can "Miyu" be our w830i/w850i then? :O

kavorka

No, Miyu will not be Walkman branded so is not W830/W850/etc

mak009

nokia 5500 has shown on symbian.com. Anyone here know something about it?

chlettn

mak009, look on Nokia's homepage or the thread in the Nokia subsection...

athos1111

kavorka,

So this means, that no candybar "big bro" for w810i yet? It's a pitty. I've been waiting for that one since the CeBit.

londonlad

I've been waiting since CeBit as well. Assuming that list is correct, we wont see a worthy upgrade to the w800 in time for w800 August contract renewals and none of the other SE phones appeal. They will probably announce it just before release so it doesnt affect w810 sales.

Is Riko definately not a Walkman?

Why are there so many clamshells? A couple of years ago, it would have been a good time, but now are clamshells still as popular unless they are very thin? Doesnt seem so.

DaChA

this phone looks awsome and I want IT!!! does anyone know when it is coming out? on gsmarena.com I saw apr.06. but it also says comming soon and I cannot find any otyher info anywhere. HELP?

malinda

Next week Nokia Announcement what can we expiate. Other E-series or S40 phones only????

badger

There will be a few 7xxx devices...

The next nSeries will launch at Christmas and will be announced in a few months

a2k24

touchscreen 7 series ?
S80 phones ?

Phony

I wouldn't be surprised if the 9300i was the last S80 phone and the next communicator is S60. But maybe someone has definitive info on this.

N999

does that include the rumoured N83 (the double-slider that appeared all over the Internet just a week after the N93 was announced)?

a2k24

Phony, oops i meant S90. it was S90 on 7710 right ? i got mixed up 80 and 90.. my bad.
but i thought 7710 was also the last of S90 as well ??

zeem35

@badger 7610 update??

Phony

Yeah it was S90 on the 7710 and I think it's pretty deffo that there won't be anymore S90 phones and S60 with touchscreen insted. But now to watch Brazil's opening game in the WC

badger

Correct - s80 is dead

N999, Yes I think so.

zeem35, s40 devices - so not a 7610 replacment, that was the n73

playdead

badger, a wave of 3 fashion phones?
Thought in june there might be some other devices, like 6xxx phones, and 7xxx prepared for later...

badger

I am aware of two 7xxx and one 6xxx...

malinda

badger, HO!! no new E-series (E6X with camera)

Wilbur

Nokia should announce something thinner, 7xxx could be it very well...

malinda

Wilbur, Then it will be a S40 fashion collection like 72xx's & 72xx's. We do not won’t this type of phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leonard

I just want to ask is this the real 8800 successor?

They are published in the russian part of the site.

deuxani

Leonard, nice!!! But looks hella expensive!!

playdead

Leonard, no, it's not! Chinese counterfeit.

AF

playdead,

you sure? Newmobile.com has it on the site now to..

Wilbur

Well, at least it looks damn good.

kavorka

mmmm...love the shiny steel finish but i think the buttons look cheap....

playdead

AF, it is selling in China, and russian letters are on the keyboard too Cost is ~ 200$... Sign "MPEG4" under the screen, sign "PHOTO FOCUS" (what is this?) on the back!

Leonard

playdead, that what I was thinking too.Then you should tell Eldar to remove this news from the russian part of the site,because in the whole article it is nowhere written that this is imitation.

im92109210

i cant wait for the REAL 8800 successor... the 8800 is expensive for not much.. the 8910i being expensive made some sense with the opening mechanism, titanium body, really impressive design... the 8800 is stainless steel and is just a re-designed slider... i hope the next one has something really special...

DUNGA

You make a good point that 8910i was not just a phone manufactured from exotic materials with a unique sliding design... It was a Technological force which still competes with phones today... 8800 is just a 6230i without expandable memory...

koblih

Can you show me some more photos? I can't believe that this is only "no nome" model... Who is producer? Seems good, but buttons are very cheap, this is fact.

chokia
