        This is getting really interesting

        Omnia HD top marks for 3.8 inch OLED and HD video

        Idou top mark for 12 megapixel in 3.5inch LCD

        N97 has been beaten already in specs, Nokia better come with something big in a few hours......

                            Oh My God!! SE is back with a big bang! The Idou is already high up there(if not above them all) with the new Omnia, N97, HTC Touch HD, etc. Not very impressed with the lack of Qwerty keyboard and the Symbian option though, which appears to me that it's somehow made by Nokia, and in this case the Xperia (WinMo & Qwerty keyboard) is still the option for me. Personally the W995 Hikaru is the new king of Java feature-phones provided SE includes one thing, a document/PDF viewer, then shall it be the king of feature phones. I hope the guys at Sun Microsystems push their new platform (Java FX) out faster.
                            Big up SE and bring 'em on '09, Moto r u dying? Wake up n smell de coffee! Well, keep chillin' homies.

                              And a few days ago i though Sony ruined it.

                              The promised Hikaru was not the promised blow away phone. For a moment i thought is this the max u can offer. The competitors where laughing. Every brand was introducing full touchscreen phone's. And SE only offers one (semi) touchscreen phone with only 3mp and led flash.

                              And today they blow away every competitor. every announced phone is old when looking at this phone. The Mighty N95,N96 and upcoming N97 are all looking old. even the I phone is outdated when seeing this.

                              SE I want to see at least a 480P video recording. not the shit of the C905. Great camera, and poor video recording

                              (Probably this is the SE 9XX) (Dont know what to use for touch screen phone's

                                I'm just hoping that it would have a 3.5mm plug and it's thin.

                                      Now, SE should release this monster phone alongside Omnia HD and the unannounce 8mp Nokia. But then again it's SE who's giving me palpitation...LOL!
