SE just recycle ! Same old boring phones.

BTW : when was the last time for SE to release a phone after 2 months of announcement :)
I guess about 6-8 months, not that I will missed them.

Cheap lousy models are flooded the market. We do not need expensive ones :)


Reliable, capable (WLAN, GPS, etc:) large screen (2.6-3.5) with good battery and excellent reception.

Now, we get one model after another with lousy reception, (key function - to make/receive a call) poor battery and buggy softwares!

It is said when an Iphone wit hall its limitations can outsell ALL the Windows Mobile phones COMBINE! (all models from all manufacturers) Just think about it!

And you are the ones who buy these j.unks..

    IMO these 2 phones are for SE to complete their 2009 portfolio.
    They're not the new Flagship of 2009, and should not be judged as so.

    These 2 phones are rather boring...
    HOWEVER better is yet to come. And those who needs an updated 5mp phone, or a fresh look on a walkman slider will like these 2.

    Just waiting for SE's 2009 flagship annoucements! YAY

      This model and specs are better released during the 2nd-3rd Qtr. of 2008. For 2009, i am craving for more specs and with 8MP available on the market, this doesn't sound like a good choice but for those wanting to have mid-range, this would be an alternative. I used to like SE phones but I am quite a fan of Samsung, Nokia or LG this time..

          SE's going the way of Motorola, that is downhill, with the recent new phone introductions. No new innovations at all.

              maybe the se guys should be made known that these upcoming handsets are rather OLD in their designs and specs which detour the loyal se fans not to purchase their handsets.

              pls kindly review on the concepts otherwise soon SE will face the same challenges with Motorola.

                      Sony Ericsson just wait Mobinnova from Taiwan to make Xperia X2. It's the same like X1 made by HTC.
                      Also I'm pretty sure Samsung, LG, Huawei(China), Kogan Agora(Australia), and HTC(T-Mobile G2) released Android first before Sony Ericsson.
