      I was thinking other day that I haven't heard any new power house from Sony Ericsson from some time now. I mean the leaks and blurry snaps. Although 4 of their good handsets come out of no where, which is good.

      Anyone heard or know anything about upcoming progress?

        @CRAZE

        U mentioned many LG handsets yet im not familiar with them.it means that LG phones are hard to recall or dont mark on people memory coz their fones are so ugly.they look like a compact mirror or a make up kit.their designs r so boring.LG lower end phones r crappy,hard to use and very un attractive.they used stupid colors on their designs and they have redundant ergonomics

          [deleted post]by the way...GRAPES ARE SORE, THE FIRST ANDROID WITH QWERTY IS NOT FROM LG, SEARCH GSM ARENA IT WAS FROM HTC. no need of divx for smartphones, first understand what SMARTPHONE mean? it means u can install 3rd party applications. if its a drawback then smartphones or even a super-computer is drawbacked by certain applications. and design wise, u chilly (a.ng.ry. you.ng ma.n) buy a vertu or nokia 8800 series or xperia X1. what a f.o.o.l one can be to buy a black lablled LG with goog design but empty from the inside with no functions. WHAT DO U MEAN BY COPY-CAT?? LG ARE USING L & G FROM THE ENGLISH LITERATURE, COPIED ALPHABETS, HAHAHAHAHA......

                I believe that SE will release the Satio2 with new os, capabitive screen and optical zoom by the end of the year. Also, they are developing eu(entertainment unlimited) side slider series with dual touch screen, 1.3 ghz processors with dedicated graphic chips and new generation of psp games.
                The reason why aren't they announcing yet is because they dont want to repeat mistakes with pre-early announces and also they want the attention to be focussed on the current line up.
                They are having huge potential with this efficient reorganised structure, powerfull brand background and technical support, lessons learned from the past, and newly awaken customer support.

                        Anonymous, 18 Apr 2010LG Phones are crappy..their designs are horrible.Who says lg designs are horrible. LG is the most stylish cell phone manufacturar in the world. Just look at BL40 new choclate, LG miniGD880, Pop GD510, GD900 crystal, Viewty smart and KF750 secret. Had sony ever make a device like these above mentioned. impossible.... LG's black label series and GD series are the best in business................Sony designs are copy of lg and other brands.
                        Satio is copy of LG Viewty ku990. X10 is a mixture of LG Puccni GT500 and Nokia X6, And Vivaz' back side looks like LG viewty smart GC900 ( vivaz's front side is horrible to watch..ugly....ahh...i m vomiting after thinking of vivaz)

                                Well, well, well... all of u mad sony fans, u all r dreaming the success of sony...impossible. Look at history of LG. Since 2010, no one knew that LG makes cell phones. But now they are third largest cell phone manufacturar in the world with 11.3% market share. u people say that LG makes cheap and third class phones. Tell me, then why a large number of people are purchasing lg phones. Now don;t say that those people are fool. Because this will mean that only 4% (sony market share) people in the world are wise (crap sony fans..). Who is making world's first window7 phone (Panther). As far as u are talking regarding LG's top tier upcoming smart phone. Just look at LG lu2300 android phone. It is way better than X10. Here is the comparison.

                                    Dudes pls just ignore him, don't you get it? He enjoys making you pissed and angry so the best thing to do is ignore him because all he wants is attention like a small child and he is getting it :)

                                    Deep inside him he knows well that SE is the best but he is just not man enough to admit it. If you ignore him this will just make him cry, people like him are so pathetic and I feel sorry for him because he know that he is hated and he must live with it for the rest of his life.
