I have become somewhat sceptical about the 'xperia' recently, simply because, having seen the ads SE use for the W960i 'I having it all' etc, it occured to me that if this is the way they would market the device, then it may aswell already have been an Xperia model of some form. Clearly this is not appropriate as there is much missing in the W960i (D-pad, HSDPA support, GPS support, a flash player, to name a few). So either SE will continue with this approach and start some sort of Xperia model or series of models, or it is just completely untrue.
I'm not a pessimist but dont expect too much, disappointments are always within SE - just hope dicky prove this wrong

I think the 'C' key will remain. But perhaps not the 'back' key. Although, on UIQ phones, that still remains to be seen, as the last UIQ phone released by SE was the W960i if I am not mistaken, and I believe that still had the 'back' key. But definitely no more 'back' key for new SE 'dumb' phones, unless its a low end still using the old A100 platform.

I think the back key is always useful. However, the C key is 100% pointless. I have a SE K700i, which uses a 5-way joystick, two softkeys a back key and C key. Obviously for touchscreen devices the softkeys aren't needed. But when I use the K700i I have never ever needed the cancel key. Why? Because its effect is to cancel a process, and the back key serves this purpose as well as going back in menu screens. The cancel key is simply not needed for anything (moreso because a softkey (or touchscreen) option would normally appear with 'cancel' on it anyway). I sometimes wonder whether it is simply there for aesthetics/for users who are right handed (as a left handed user I never need to touch this key, nor is it practical to do so).
I hope the P5i will have the following keys:
-On/off -necessary
-Volume up/down
-Next/previous (not only for tracks, but for slideshows and other such functions)
-Play/pause
-D-pad (I am aware that some of the above could be additional functions of the D-pad- good for gaming too)
-Jog- Dial (makes web browsing, going through lists etc much easier- could have a back key nearby to make navigation even faster)
-Stylus (This looks sexy, but also allows handwriting recognition and better use of the touchscreen for users with limited finger dexterity)
-Finger based touch UI- this allows for faster and more elegant menu navigating for most users- also is awesome (adds to the user experience)
-Back key (This may or may not be needed depending on the new touchscreen UI)
-Call/hang up (preferably a single key allowing use of both functions depending on when it is used- before or at the end of a call- these keys allow a phone call while in any menu)
-Bluetooth button and Wifi button- not necessary, could allow faster connection depending on how the UI is structured
-A QWERTY slide out keyboard- This is good for email use, general internet use etc- should include directional keys
-A regular keypad- not necessary, only to be used if the dual slider idea is employed in this handset. I think the QWERTY keyboard and on-screen keys would be great
-A camera key (Takes photos/video- acts as a start/stop key for this, if pressed when not in camera mode the camera shutter should automatically open, if there is one)
Hopefully the use of some keys can be multifunctional to minimize the number of them needed. Some keys could also be on the keyboard (eg bluetooth/wifi keys) so that they are hidden from view when the keyboard is 'closed'. I know, however that the P5i, if all rumours are correct, is to be primarily a touch device, so I imagine any keys would be multifunctional and the number of them would be minimized for this anyway.

Mizzle/PK, its been established that the P5i should be better than the N95 (in terms of specs), but how does it compare to the iphone? Will the interface be ase natural to use and as interactive? Will it be as easy and visually impressive to use? Will the web browser be at least as good as safari on the iphone? These comparisons are more about user experience than specs.

@Tigershark
I think I'm the wrong person to ask about this, as I'm not impressed at all by iPhone and its lack of features.

Neither am I, and I hate Apple in general, but I must admit the interface and web browser ARE amazing and in some ways revolutionary.

the only web browsing i've found to be really amazing was on the E61, with its big screen and ease of use. I've tried the p1's browser and it totally blows. Its not very fast or user friendly, just looks stylish thats all.. i hope the new browser is as good as the s60v3 browsers..

nah, i Strongly disagree! It should be as good as iPhone's browser. the interface and navigation is second to none!
