XPERIA Pureness coming in November, yours for 600 euro

15 September, 2009
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness is a one-off devil - it's got a vanilla feature set but is the first phone with a see-through display. Some new info about it just surfaced suggesting it should go on sale as soon...

This is made for a specific target, AKA "rich people with no need for more than knowing what time it is, typing, and calling, but want something with class, that fits their social status (read = expensive)"

The phones with which SE plans to compete in the market aren't of this kind. But they shouldn't neglect a niche "just because", and let Nokia's 8800 series get all the profit (although it's not comparable with the mainstream phone's profit, it is profit nonetheless).

          This phone will kick XPERIA Pureness way too easily
          Cause X3 only gives ''talk and text'' and this phone gives very decent specs
          Perfect time for the announcement of this phone by NOKIA
          I hope XPERIA Pureness and 8800 Erdos be launched at the same time so we can see X3 being kicked off.
          About the price, well it will definetly be around 1000 Euro or 1200 Dollars.
          XPERIA Pureness ain't got any thing except look
          Erdos got the looks and the specs

            joe, 16 Sep 2009SE can do much better than this...Probably, but look at to this new technology, this phone could be a sucsess, rich people would like to buy such phones, to show they are rich, and they have interesting phones too! LG has a transparent keypad phone, that phone is interesting too!:)

                  at least the luxury Erdos is much2 better (design and technology).

                  anyway, with current SE position, better they produce good technology phone to make sure they can survive instead of niche product that will not improve their position

                        It's a work of technology rather than art imo.

                          Positioned as an exclusive luxury handset, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness won't be distributed via the usual retailers and carriers, but will only be displayed in high-end stores and boutiques with a price to match - running around 600 euro.
                          Xperia Pureness will be promoted "as a work of art rather than technology" and as revealed now Sony Ericsson will position the phone as an "iconic niche product, not mass market".
                          Xperia Pureness will be sold in design-museum shops and high-end stores such as Selfridges

                            It's cool, but doesn't do to much to help Sony Ericsson's position. Their smartphone position, especially, is still weak compared to RIM, Apple or even Nokia and Samsung.
