It's good that SE going to lunch 12MP camera phone. Guys don't you feel that they should more focus on good optical zoom and video recording facility.

    I' excited about this,I have a C905 and have had a LG Renoir, the 905's pictures are awesome already (the Renoir was a awful phone with terrible pictures) so with 12mp this will be quite something.

                Will create some buzz if rightly priced after all they have returned into league after a long time . So more the competition the more will we benefit. Long live SE.

                  i've been a nokia fan for a very long time.. but now that many manufacturers now are implementing the S60 OS on their phones, i'm kindda opening up now..

                  and i gotta say, that 'idou' phone looks a whole lot like Viewty at a glance..the front specifically.. what do you think..? =)

                          i'm a huge nokia fan, but unfortunately, with SE seeking symbian once again, i'm starting to turn my heads to SE with it's amazing revolution!

                          this will bring n97 down quickly..
                          omg..

                            Go SE for adding a 3.5mm jack to their new walkman! Hope that happens to every phone in their future line up.

                              O.k people might be happy with the 12 mega-pixel camera mobile,but if Sony Ericsson make it like the C905 they will be losing loads of fanatics as they let them down releasing the C905 when they knew it was made correctly by them,so lets see the reviews first before people start bragging about this phone,if it turns out to be another badly mobile from Sony Ericsson

                                  Sony Ericsson also announced that they are planning of hitting the video playback from various angles by not only focusing W995 on video, but by providing unlimited movies downloads via the PlayNow Arena Movies service, which would require a monthly subscription.

                                  By this do they ment that they are going to improve the video playback of the W995? ( i hope)

                                  Or are they just going to improve the PlayNow Downloadservice?

                                  Peace

                                      Is 12MP too high? Well, I want to see the sample pictures before i pass judgment.

                                      What I think Idou does right is its features. Wifi, xenon flash, microSD, large screen, two cameras for video calls. This makes it the most spec out camera phone (or is it multimedia phone now?).

                                      My only real complaint is the release date. End of this year? Wth.
