The duo is rumored to be out in September. The specs on it are highly likely because of the huge screen, making the phone bigger and therefore creating more space to put premium specs. SE will always be my favorite and only brand I buy.

        SonyEricsson's Problems began long before the disaster in Japan and continue to this very moment.

        SonyEricsson has not been marketing well in years, they have not gotten the right products on carriers at the right time, heck they couldn't even get the Xperia Arc on a USA carrier. Their phones are expensive for the spec sheet and they relied to heavily on Walkman Cybershot BRANDS without putting the associated quality of those brands products in the the phones - well maybe Walkman, those haven't been anything special in years. Then they moved away from using Sony brands except they still made a half assed effort to bring out a PlayStation phone.

                      blaming japan disaster?
                      everybody knew that SE phone is dead-upon-arrival
                      with a last year spec, how can it survive among those dual core phone?

                        Dont put the blame on Japan when SE is not doing well. It is the competition from other phone makers.

                                SE just need to release their handsets on time and supply enough!
                                Where are the pro range?
                                The Neo was a few weeks late!

                                P.s: prob due to the Japan crisis that they are delayed... but what about the X10? That was always delayed with no excuse

                                  SE always behind time. They are the only one company that release "high-end" android phone in single core this few months. It's time for SE to release Dualcore phone, or be eliminated. Just pack higher spec hardware in your Ray & Arc, if it manage to release in time, se will earn big money.

                                    sony ericsson needs some competitive models. Xperia play, arc neo and ray are failure phones in their market segments !!!!
