It's probably also styling. As it is it has 4G of flash, a large touchscreen LCD, and it's nice and thin. Add a camera and they probably had to double the thickness to fit it in...

Like the N80 is my perfect phone on paper, but in reality it's a brick with poor battery life.

iirc when the m600 and w950 models were announced, there was information that this was just the start of a new line (a la K700,750,800), and that future consumer models would sport a camera in due course.

thats not what SE told me at CeBIT

SE may have changed their mind on this, but that was the story when this was announced back in Febuary. see my post here

Indeed, maybe it's been shelved as I would have thought we'd have heard something of it by now if it was going to launch anytime in Q1 '07 (or even H1 '07 tbh..), as SE do tend to have new models on the website long in advance of retail availability.

I ended up getting the W850i from orange

Ive had it for a few days now and am pretty impresed. the phone software is similar to the w800 so its easy to get used to and the slide feels really smooth

Its a bit of a ball ache when you connect it to the pc as you have to choose which connection mode you want. One lets you edit images and the other lets you add songs to the phone. I suppose sony have a reason for this.

The other dodgy thing is that the Drivers for the computer seem to be generic drivers at the mom(installed as sony 038 drivers)

So far Im loving it :d
