    DOnt think its hard drive based tbh

    Should still be pretty damn sweet though, effectively a nano and phone combined, looks pretty big though.

    Actually i just noticed that, it is flash based, which is even better

    UK page is here:
    http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...=pp1&pid=10391

    It's also 3G (although i don't know if it has a second camera), included Opera 8, has a touch screen and stylus (woot!) and displays cover art for yout MP3s

    oh man oh man i like this phone

    (a little worried about how excited i can get over a phone, oh well)

    Damn that looks nice. Considering how well my K750i has done for me I'll be wanting one of those babies

    Butbut....nvidia's just brought out a spangly new phone GPU....ah well at least I'll have choices when I upgrade at the end(ish) of the year

    Picture messaging with text and sound. Pictures can be ones taken with built-in camera or camera accessory or ones saved in your phone. Sounds can be recorded sounds, ringtones or other sounds stored in phone. Sony Ericsson's MMS solution allows you to see
    its probably just got a rear one, which is no bad thing imo, video calling is pointless.

    actually there really doesn't appear to be a camera on this at all. Really dissapointing.

    Large image of tha back (WARNING ~3.5MB)
    http://www.sonyericsson.com/download...0blue_back.jpg

    There is a small circle next to the logo, but it will be for an external arial.

    I don't use the camera on mine much, but it is handy.

    The only saving grace would be if there was a decent addon with optical zoom and real flash.

    Yeah, its a shame isn't it!

    I use the camera on my K750i all the time, I couldn't cope without it!

    Its funny really, a couple of years ago I thought that camera phones were stupid gimmicks, now I think its ridiculous if a phone doesn't have a camera!

    Hopefully there'll be something similar coming out soon, but with a built in camera and wifi!

    ok, i think i'm obsessed with this phone

    more pics etc. here: http://www.clubsonyericsson.com/foru....html#msg18522 along with some 'action shots' looks sweet!

    On the camera issue - according to the page linked below, there is going to be up to three versions of this phone. The basic one seen above, one with twin cameras for video calling etc. and a third with memory expansion. things are looking up. Going by what SE have been pitting out recently i would guess at the rear camera being at least 2mp, perhaps even 3mp.

    http://www.mobile-review.com/exhibit...-2006-en.shtml (see bottom of page)


    i really have to get some work done today i think...
