That phone looks like a good replacement of W850 (if it meant to replace it). The slim slider formfactor looks nice and not too slim

I'm more interested in these frankly speaking http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/430426 mainly because of the autofocus camera but think of it, looks like its a rumor

should be the built in Pedometer function..

SE was afraid the design is not ATTRACTIVE enough, so they add in lots of LIGHTS !!

the led lights too many and bright oledi la.. when family vacation and stay in hotel room.. sure got people complain bright.. then my mom will notice me secretly smsing while they were trying to sleep..

new design again...
omg... how am i gonna choose from all these models...
this one also look so nice...

ya...quite tempting... 14mm body size.. with new circuit can go longer battery life

Anyone knows when this model is going to arrive at our shores and its estimated starting price? Thanks.

besides that..make sure ur phone doesnt ring in cinemas..
if not it would be very distracting..

and also we need to slide up to take photo.. a bit troublesome la...

those reminds me of the LEDs found on the side of the 6300

seems to me that SE is using almost identical hardware as the W830 and fitting it in a newer,slimmer body..following the trend of nokia

ya hor? no speaker de???

save the hassle of 'oh how am i going to protect the camera from scratches and dust'

looks elegant too. better than the plain back of w850i.

for simple 2.o non-af camera, simply slide on, snap : that is fine to me. rather than two hands to hold on a phone with 2.o but non-af.

hmm.. yea it also save the hussle to protect the lens from dust and scratches.. waiting for this model to release.. wanna test it..

Still got 1 Quarter to wait lo.... haha...

the phone already updated in SE m'sia website already.. so juz wait for now..

Watch the phone preview in CTIA 2007.

wah lau eh!!! the 14mm really slim ya...

at least the charging port is at the top right now, easier to sms while charging .. not like w880 the port beside the keypad hard to sms while charging..
