    SE, Samsung and LG list one by one their new phones for the MWC 2009.

    Nokia is with empty hands for MWC 2009.

    What Nokia fans doing? Nokia fans are criticizing and pointing small drawbacks of great SE, Samsung and LG phones with out any development on their hands.

    Poor Nokia fans….. Stop criticize for the great products like SE, Samsung and LG. We know what Nokia can do with Useless OS like Symbian………..

    SE rocks!
    Samsung rocks!
    LG rocks!

      Dani, 09 Feb 2009SE RulesSE rules the bottom. How can they rule with these crappy phones. They should have launched that phone in 2006. Thats why they are losing the market share, remember the good days of SE 910i. What happened?

        YoU LoSe!, 10 Feb 2009At least make the 8GB built in...internal memory is much fa... morePeople complain about built in memory, because its easily lost with the phone. And cannot be replaced with other cards.

        2.6" screen pretty decent for a non-touch phone.

        And regarding the flash thing..... Alot of other phones says they have good flash, but end up very disappointing when taking actual photos. We'll only be able to see the quality of the flash in an official review.

        Any phone @ launch is a rip off.

            Im a huge fan of SE , and this phone looks awesome to me, but all SE fans know that whenever you see a new model that is coming soon, you know you have to wait at leas a year to buy it because of how expensive it will be. When you wait that time, an even better one comes out, and it kind of blows for the average joe like me.

                2.6" screen is "small" by todays monstrous phones.
                No xenon flash...
                Not a touch screen for easier gps/wifi browsing.
                SE pricing = ripoff at launch and outdated when it actually comes out.

                  Actually I think that this is rather a cool phone. I don't really like touchscreen so you see...The design is okay, I guess. But a bit lacking somewhere...Hope it is not too expensive...

                    Some people on the internet will never be happy.

                    8mp 8gb Walkman 4.0 GPS WiFi 3.5mm headphone 2.6" screen and SE interface.....

                    I dont really understand what else you need to put in a phone for people to be happy. Maybe a vibrator? Oh wait, they already do that.

                      The specs look's nice. Let's just hope SE doesn't come up with a stupid design. It's funny how one manufacturer is good at hardware but fall short of software, while the other manufacturer is completely the opposite.

                        no offence guys but let me clarify that the SE design will be always like a SE, just like all nokia design are nokia, and its lot of time till we will get to handle Hikaru [W-915] so keep fingers cross...

                              Recently someones been leaving comments on other phones stating how we should all wait for Hikaru and how the "storm is coming".

                              I wonder where that person is now that he's seen the storm and realized it's nothing more than a drizzle.

                                My 5800 starts in under 10 seconds with 6 GB memory full.

                                Or does your country count seconds with a different method?

                                        Wow... I've waited for so long to have a 3.5mm SE Walkman and now that there is one, they freakin stick an 8MP camera in it, so what - I gotta pay like $500+ for it now? What a scam.
