Sony Ericsson obviously feel pretty good about working with Symbian S60 touch-operated UI as they are about to launch a second handset running it after the Satio. Nicknamed Kurara, the subject of these shots...

    the camera position is awkward

    no camera can be located where it is now
    i.e at the center
    but really hope sony gives out better phones at justified prices

        8mp cameraphones are the future, better optics and flash. There's little point in making a 12mp one at the moment.

              WTFone, 04 Nov 2009i doubt that this phone will record full hd and if it does,... moreWell I have doubts that Kurara can even record in 720p. New live shots doesn't have that HD mark in the back. We would probably see full HD from Samsung in February 2010 followed by LG.

                      if this is true, i hope they will change the name. kurara is awfull. my favourite phone is satio because it's full of charisma and the name is just the cherry on top

                          Nokia hater, 04 Nov 2009But what if this phone records FULL HD? That would be great... morei doubt that this phone will record full hd and if it does, it wont be released within a years time knowing how long it takes se. to record at a higher frame rate than omnia wud be fairly pointless in my opiion. the human eye probably cannot differentiate between 24fps and say 30fps which is the amount of fps most phones use. especially on a phone, noticing small things is hard. if se decide to go beyond 30fps (gr8 for slo mo replay) then they r gna need a really fast processor - which as far as i know they dont hv currently. also imagine the amount of memory that the phone wud need to hv if its gna record at a lot more fps. u might be able to get a nice but very short clip. it will be easier, better and probably cheaper to buy a full hd video recorder and a decent phone. cos if u really care about recording video, a phone is not gna be at the top of ur list.

                            Im a person who has used only nokia phones so far. I must say that sony ericsson have really woken up this gen with their phones. I am really impressed with their lineup and am actually considering to swap over.

                                WTFone, 04 Nov 2009its a bit late if u ask me. samsung has had an amoled 8mpx ... moreBut what if this phone records FULL HD? That would be great, but that's not very likely. Even recording HD 720p with a higher frame rate than Omnia HD woulod be cool. And I don't think it's very ugly.

                                  Fake. The front you could kind of get away with it, but the back makes it obvious that its fake

                                    kinda looks differently weird and ugly

                                    specs are good though

                                      its a bit late if u ask me. samsung has had an amoled 8mpx hd recording phone for a while now. wat will make this so special? y shud ppl switch over to this or even w8 for this to come out wen there is already a phone that does everything this one does?

                                        Okay, let's not get worked up. Omnia HD offers these specifications with a 3.7" display.

                                        Symbian S60 is not what I want. It means the maximum display resolution is only 640×360.

                                        Damn, a phone with those specs with an AMOLED FWVGA display is definitely my perfect phone if is get released early.

                                        If this is real, I hope that it will run Android OS.

                                        I don't know what to say if the display turns out to be a 3.2" 262K TFT and the HD is photos capturing in 1920×1080. With Sony Ericsson, I am always ready to be disappointed.
