Dani, 25 Aug 2009I think SE X2 will be betterAltough all SE fans brags about Xperia, and even stuff the ballot in GSM Arena.
The thruth is SE loosing money on Xperia.
Because there were not enough sales on this model.
If only all SE fans united and really put their money on their mouth is, This Xperia would not only be a benchmark for SE, but would also be the money making model.

        Another similar design, N97 is not high end enough and Nokia keep releasing low end phone.

        Nokia is bye bye now for high end market!.

            sorry , not very interested about this phone
            i hope NOKIA upgrade the N97 become N97i!!
            N97 design is far better than this

            make a N97i!! N97 design is already perfect !

            it just need:
            a dedicated graphic chip
            a ARM Cortex A-8
            a 256MB ram
            a AMOLED screen

            thats all~!

              I've recently left the N Series for the E Series.
              I thoroughly agree with you, the E Series HAS to be reliable. It's made with business in mind and the E75 I have right now is 100x better than my old N97.

              Touchscreens will soon be a thing of the past. Mucky fingerprints, dirty and scratched screens will drive people away.
              And like me, when they miss texting without looking at your phone (like when you're driving) you have to wait!!

              Bring buttons BACK!

                I believe the most logical name for this phone is... what else? N87!! Trust me I can't be wrong this time!

                        Downgraded version of n97? The back design is not as good looking as n97!

                        nokia to announce upgraded version of N97? With omap 3 and 256 ram?

                        N900 rocks especially the maemo 5

                        n5900 nice too if the rumours are true!

                            Nokia never release an E Series until they are extremely satisfied with the hardware and software. It will be interesting if a new E series will adopt this form factor.

                                Nokia, wake up! Your making phones with the same Models! Can you make a big difference! It's always the same! Your making these phones just for money, why don't you make a different phone like iphone. A solid nokia user but i am disappointed on the phones you released this year...

                                    A ya, the one great phone that Nokia ever created was the N97. Everything before and after that model was a waste of time and effort. Nokia can make great phones but they need to learn from both Apple and Blackberry. Compared to Nokia, Apple and Blackberry creates less phones but they make improvements on the previous models. They also have created a culture around the phones that they create.

                                      Looks like it will be the same size and dimensions as the 5800

                                        Don't like the sound of an unprotected camera lens.

                                        Other than that, it sounds ok. I wonder what the screen size and resolution is?
