maybe because they wanted to make the g series really really low price??? thatīs why
again, do you think P5, the W960 sucessor, etc, will have that hardware??? but you will have to pay more...
my point...i am happy they finnaly decided to put UIQ on smaller cheaper phones...and the phones are not bad at all it seems
i want high end stuff, but for the OS to grow in the market, things like the g series are also needed

I agree with you. Not all of us are rich to buy the high-end devices. G is a mid-end phone. The specs is quite okay for a mid-end phone and the price is reasonable.

..Because the power- consumption and volt- levels would be completely different? You know - I really don't think it's a problem that the typical nokia- byer - "ohmygawd, it's got one more pixel and a higher version number than my previous phone!" - doesn't have all that much impact on what sort of solution SE chooses on the hardware.
But now you do get the x1, specially tailored for the american market, and the morons. And you can buy it incredibly expensive, and get a lovely photo- gallery to watch your pictures on, with animations and transition- effects - so what's the problem now?

I don't think so. The UIQ Press Conference has already ended.

Maybe hymie and others with similar expectation will not buy g series phone but actually who cares.
IMO SE did a very good job with those new phones from the buseness point of view. Look at the official anounsment, it is a pure lesson of modern marketing strategy. They dont talk about technical specs but about feeling of simplicity.
I believe they payed some expert consulting company to help them make significant change. The outcome - to serve more people (defined market segment) with good priced, high quality phones is IMO the right business move. Now they just have to lounch those phones without bugs.
For others, they have to wait the new high-end phones.

Hey, i don't really agree with people saying the G900 is positioned as mid-range. Look at the specs vs. the P1, which is as far as i know considered high-end in the SE portfolio. Apart from screen size, keyboard layout and battery size, G900 outperforms or matches P1:
- 5MP camera (and apparently better cam interface, to be confirmed when reviews surface)
- same RAM
- same built-in memory
- same processor
- M2 mem stick compatibility
- media player same as W960 (at least, according to the G900 white paper)
- better video recording (QVGA at 30fps)
- wifi b+g (this seems to be confirmed in the WP)
It's also more pocketable. I've already kicked the W960 out of my wishlist, i'm getting the G900 when it's out.

Its slow compared to S60, its laggy, its always buggy with every new phone despite being used since the P990.
Uhuh. And if s60 had the same speed as UIQ on switching screens and apps since the last two firmwares.. Then it would be operating - according to the experts around here - with pauses lasting less than an "instant". Which I am sure, of course, is not beyond that incredible platform - apologies for insinuating that I am contradicting people on that one.
I have a P1 and even with the latest firmware you still have to open all apps firts time to get them "instant" the next time. Otherwise there is always a delay.
And why are you comparing N80? That came out years ago. P1 was only out last year lol. But I suppose you illustrated how behind SE is in that respect.
