The replacement of w850i. not much different from w850i apart of the look and design. Nothing about autofocus is mentioned, hence i assume no autofocus too.

I am dissapointed Still have to wait for a better spec walkman phone, not just some face lift or redesign.

try to penetrate diff segment? yes or:

1. new phone = new price. for the same hardware, but just some different look, it can be sold at totally new price.

2. more choices for the consumer. for those wanted to buy new walkman phone, but thinking of w850i is quite old (getting outdated) and very common, then this is your another choice, new phone.

3. marketing strategy. aiming for less cost, more profit, same hardware, diff look/design.

haha.. not anymore.. because coming w610i have the autofocus, spec is quite the same as w810i with different look.

so AF is coming back to Walkman phone. but not to all walkman series.

you missed quite a lot of update isn't it?

W610i is officially announced quite some time ago, not marketed yet. and it did surprised a lot of people for SE to bring back AF to walkman series when W610i announcement was made.

Have a look at W660 vs W610

You can see what direction is SE heading to.

Look quite the same:

- Plain surface & classy black or unique colors
- The typical keypad vs. the controversial tiny-button keypad
- Candy bar of about same size

I wonder where is the fastport placement, bottom or side?

For the specs, W660i seems to replace w850i while W610i replacing the w810i. 3G vs non-3G. Non-AF vs AF. Otherwise, they are the same. More choices.

Other factors to be judge at later stage: Price, availability.

i am comparing the two new coming walkman phone w660 vs w610i la..

w660 vs w610? which will you go for? that is some hard choices now!

video calls?
w610i or w660i for me? none.. i would like to have the rumour m610i instead.
