it's stupid that sony ericsson produce these cybershot phones which are all centred around the camera, yet are the worst in their class.

it's a joke.

and im sorry, the k850's camera is worse than the n82's, and the n95's!

    This is what exactly SE was looking for. They want people to talk to discuss about idou..That way they can gain peoples confidence...their share holders are not happy with its future. They announced it in 10-12 months in advance. What we are still calling a "Prototype" was never even close to a prototype. It could be called nothing more than a show-off dummy. A prototype does pretty much same thing that the final product would do..there is always some minor changes to the final product..websites including GSMarena do review with prototypes. Now can you review idou? You cant. Coz it's not even close to a prototype. Now lets have a look. Mostly when a manufacturer develops something they do more R&D and fine tune it. SE came up with just one 8mp the C905. Have you seen them working on that anymore? They didn't. Samsung, Lg came with 8mp too but they worked hard and now they have more than 2 8mp models in their portfolio. Why SE didn't perfect 8mp and wants to jump into 12mp? Why announcing a phone in 10-12 months advance and let everyone in dark? It's simply not worth talking about. Not at all. Let them announce something first. A 12mp cam with HD recording must have enough internal memory and battery backup. I wonder why they never put it that way for the sake of it...at least we people could have believed. they could change it latter on. It's SE who has to blame. They are playing tricks and letting everyone fight. An the way I see it, they are quite successful in that. I wont waste a single word on idou from now on until I hear from SE.

      To dani:

      5mp : løok at sammy g800 review on gsmarena,g800 wins hand downs vs k850,even symbian sammy g810 beats k850 easily..n82? Yes comparable to g810

      8mp :again..innov8 proven to be the best till now! Read the 8mp war in gsmarena review

      SE in 3rd? Yeah in q3 2008,but in q4 2008 LG + moto overtook se again...and q1 2009 result is se bleeding again and in 4th place below lg (moto at 5th)

      SE market share 7.5%
      LG 8%
      Samsung 17%
      Nokia 37%

      SE always announce 8mp - 12mp earlier than other vendor but according to 8mp history,sammy innov8 is the winner,every profesional review site like gsmarena,mobile-review,smape.com,mobilearsenal.com do the test between innov8 vs c905,all of them said that innov8 is the winner..hope se payback at 12mp to fight with lg

            Anonymous, 13 Apr 2009Just a general comment: Yes, the model is not released y... morelol...you explained it according to dictionary and with your view ? haha lol

            you dont know what the entertaiment unlimited means according to SE explaination...

            you always push people opinion with yours as if your opinion is right at all

            you are so funny.you dont believe the other opinion who like the idou but in other side you always do it too, you always result the idou quality do you remember even you ever said :No specs, no performance evaluation, no reliability guidelines.

            your statement is diff with what you did..what a shame...

            if SE fans must list where they got the information and the information must be official, i think you must do it too if you dont believe them you have rights for it but you must list the official information to prove our informations are wrong not by your opinion.

            it is not fair if we list the information with a link but you complain our information without the link what you have that we can trust.

            actually you are the one who always repeat this topic again and again just because you dont believe the topic.

            read it for example: i ever wrote that SE uses 12MP cmos sensor from EXMOR...there are many site said that too like :

            1. http://cameraphonereviews.com/2009/02/17/sony-ericsson-idou/

            2. http://www.gadgetpaper.com/sony-ericsson-unwraps-121-megapixel-idou-symbian-s60-mobile/

            3. http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=14919&subject=Sony+Ericsson+Idou

            4. http://www.pdasnews.com/articles/4508/1/Sony-Ericsson-Unwraps-12.1-Megapixel-Idou-Symbian-S60-Mobile/print/4508

            5. http://www.unwiredview.com/2008/11/13/sony-announces-1225-mp-image-sensor-for-camera-phones-available-starting-march-2009/

            6. this last number is my opinion : there is no cmos sensor has 12MP it means sony EXMOR cmos sensor is the first and the highest cmos sensor as much as 12MP for phone (you can see the news at poin number 5 above.) so if idou doesnt use 12MP cmos sensor from exmor like what you said so tell me, which other 12MP cmos sensor will be used on idou ? tell me pls with the link too!!!

            then where is your information to prove idou doesnt use 12MP exmor cmos sensor ?list the link what you have pls!!

            prove it...prove it!!!

            dont to much speak bullshit at here, just prove it!!

            give us your link where you got the information every you complain our comments :)

            thanks and GBU!

            be a fair!

              Just a general comment:

              Yes, the model is not released yet.
              Like many other models.

              Yes comparison is not practical totally.

              But, we can still talk about the facts already released:

              - some features
              - some specs (size, battery, internal memory, resolution etc.)

              Obviously, reliability and performance are remained to be seen.

              And if anybody see an outdated specs or features is is totally reasonable to voice an opinion even though the model is not released yet.

              1000 mAh battery is a bad joke!
              It is published all over the net for long time now. There are SE reps here and no official deny yet - I wonder why?
              (because the initial publication was correct - it was not a mistake - SE announced the Idou with a 1000mAh battery)

              and they still quite about it (for weeks!!!!)! The planning and reaction are totally incompetent.

                ˝We are all emotional being, please consider our feelings before spilling some vague and vulgar language. Peace to you, my friend ˝

                - very nice idea!!!!! Thanks

                A little contradictory behavior from this person may be:

                ˝I am totally fed up with most of you here.˝

                - not to peaceful and tolerant :))))


                ˝Any other discussion is irrelevant so please shut it!˝

                - full of understanding and openness :)))

                ˝Are they blind or simply retarded? ˝

                - makes an extra effort not to insult anybody :))))

                Peace to you also but may be you should also look up the dictionary - ´peace´ ´tolerance´

                Enjoy your Idou! (in October!)

                  ˝According to german Sony Ericsson Idou will be available in October, but not later than November.˝

                  If soemdody tells me thsi - it is easy to see it has no credibility.

                  it will be available in October? than no need to say no later than November.

                  This manager unable to make a straight (honest) sentence!

                  They made the same promises with X1, C902, W890 etc.

                  What I want to hear - By who and where this model will be manufactured????

                  It seems nobody can tell these. 5 months !!!! before release there is no clue about the manufacture site????? Come on!

                  I hope it is clear to everyone SE is unable to make this model by itself.

                  Sagem is a partner but .... :)))
                  they make SE models, but I think this would be over their head... or not?

                    “Unlimited entertainment”

                    PR garbage.
                    Unlimited?

                    No DVB-H TV broadcast receiver - that is already one limit. (existing feature)

                    No projector (we want unlimited entertainment, also already developed)

                    Limited internal memory

                    Limited battery

                    These are all limiting factors - producing limited entertainment

                    “Unlimited entertainment” is just so stu..id that I can not understand how reps can repeated over and over again.

                          Sony Ericsson in Germany has now informed that the sales of Sony Ericsson’s 12 MP mobile Idou will start in October or November. Sony Ericsson’s german product manager also says that Idou is just the first model in a series of entertainment phones from Sony Ericsson.

                          It is to the german WEB site Teltarif Sony Ericsson’s german product and pr manager now has given more details about the rumoured super mobile from Sony Ericsson.

                          - Idou is the project name for the first phone model. The focus for this project and the promis behind it is “Unlimited entertainment”. It is much more than just picture and music functions, for instance games, social networks or complete video services says Sony Ericsson’s german product manager Steffen Grosch.

                          More models in the series with focus on “unlimited entertainment” as in Idou are also on the way, according to Sony Ericsson’s german product manager.

                          Sony Ericsson Idou will have Symbian’s new operating system, which among other things is based on Nokia’s Series 60 and Sony Ericsson’s UIQ. The system will according to Symbian be complete around the summer.

                          Idou will also have a 12 MP camera, built-in GPS and a large 3.5″ touch screen.

                          According to german Sony Ericsson Idou will be available in October, but not later than November.
