Many of us are going to continue to skip from now on as they have ceded innovation for being average in this smart phone/entertainment market.
With the coming of Experia I doubt that will come with a P anytime soon. Experia seems to have a lot of what was called for but its not a P.
We will have to have faith in PK's words and see what happens but I am leaning towards seriously doubting in regards to seeing a P anytime before 2009.

I don't doubt that PK has a prototype smart phone and it may well be the next UIQ phone.
I also believe his intentions are true as *experience* has shown, if you were around at the time the P1 was all rumour.

However I believe his circumstances have changed and he's probably a lot closer to than during the P1 saga, which means he's probably being monitored over what he can and cannot say.

This just adds to the frustration unfortunately until give the OK to let more information out of the bag. Until then, anything he says will be treated by some as fact and every time a new show/event takes place we all think "this is the month"

It's just very, very, very frustrating waiting and hoping and even keeping the faith

Certainly I don't doubt PK but I still feel as though will want to get the Experia well soaked onto the market before announcing the next P in the series.

Don't hold your breath.

Set aside the licensing issues, the new Symbian version and the work that would take, the new hardware that would be necessary - and you still have a company that doesn't think very highly of offering a phone with a platform like UIQ. And have signalled very clearly that they see the future in terms of deals with telecoms, exclusive content and online- stores.

So as far as I'm concerned, the p-series is already dead for that reason. Since if there will be any new phones, the only thing that made Symbian and UIQ on SE possibly worthwhile in the first place is gone.

Of course - on the bright side you'll get the "new and improved" WM version that's already dated at the time it will be released, that nevertheless "fixes everything". Just like the previous four versions. Once again, a brilliant strategic stroke of.... stroke. From the strategists at SE (who apparently hate their company and wants to destroy it).

Why would they get rid of their flagship P series that has been so good to them? Well until the p990 debacle.

Maybe the competition will make symbian up their game.... In my view, nothing inspires innovation like a threatened market share.....

May be because they just announced something better than the latest best P-Series... X1???

But I certainly pray/wish that P Next is announced soon because if it's announced late, say end of Q3 or even Q4, then it won't be out before 2009...

Thats why I don't expect the next P any time soon. The next P might most likely become something akin to Nokia flagship series. Where they have more than one stellar phone to choose from.
