hmm.... i wonder....

how you categorized the phone into high end or mid end?

for me W880i is included in high end, because it was launch at about $350.

and W660i isnt worse than W800i, you are wrong ...... it has 3G, walkman Player 2.0 and A2DP, if you just compare from the camera.... man, this is W series, not cyber-shoot series.

also W580... it cannot compare to W810i, it has shake control, walkman players 2.0, in front speaker, pedometer, A2DP and its slider phone...


well..... thats only my opinion

It wasnt and isnt a flop. It still sells quite well. Also it does have a camera (at least the one I had did). The only thing it was worse at then the K750i and W800i was the camera because it didnt have autofocus. The phone is half the thickness of the K750i but added a better walkman player, better screen and 3G. I cant see how you can say it was worse than a 2005 phone.

Just because SE have released more lower end phones doesnt mean they are rubbish. They may not have the specs that the higher end phones have but a lot of people can not afford the higher end phones.
I do agree that SE do seem to have dropped the ball as far as high end phones go. The P1i is a similar price to the N95 but cant compete on specifications. They need a high end phone to match the N95.
Even if SE announce a phone with 7mp, HSDPA, XVGA screen, GPS, 30GB and 500hr battery life people will complain about it somehow.

My sentiments exactly. phones have traditionally always been pricier than other brands and they seem to get away with it too.

As for the W880i being a flop, well that is still selling bucketloads according to sales info in the UK

What's this about V640i being a 'low end phone'? Since when did a low end phone include 2.0 MP camera, A2DP and HSDPA 3G?

V640i is a stylish upgrade of the simply superb and excellent value V630i (I own a V630i, I should know!) The Havana Gold colour is awesome, the rounded edges echo the highly successful V600 (K600) of 2004 which is quite appropriate IMO. Find a model from another manufacturer that offers such quality, style and value at the price!

Edit:


I agree. N95 has me tempted and E65 too since Vodafone NZ reduced the later to NZ$649.00 (from NZ$999.00) NZ's cheapest Wifi phone!
needs to add Wifi to V640i/K770i/W910/K850i mainstream style phones and pronto! N95 and iPhone have raised customers expectations of what a multimedia phone is, and multimedia is 's territory!

@truewor

w580i
The camera lacks autodocus and flash,which a phone released in same price in 2005 had,sliding mechanism had little flaws and is shaky
and then comes fatures like walkman player 2 (Theres nothing speical in it)and all other things which doesnt bring any improvement.

w660i
Camera lacks autofocus and LED (Why it is being degraded ???)and the price remains as high
Mediocre display resolution
Heavily over priced
Sony Ericsson W660 brings no innovations; it's the good old applications and functions

W880I
Sony Ericsson W880 has no dedicated macro mode, everything closer than say 80 cm from the lens will be out of focus.
How come a high end radio may not have a fm radio even which phones as low as $50 manage to fit, and more important thing is
its a "walkman with no radio"
No AF and no flash(why is it being downgraded?)
How can u call a phone which even doesnt a featurea basic fm radio,a good camera a high end phone
W880i was highly over priced when released throughout the world"it may be high end for only because of price)

Wht r the things that justify the hefty price tag,how do u claim it a high end phone"no way"

The main reason for the lack of auto focus and no radio was because of the size. It still had a better spec than any other phone of its size when released. It was a bit overpriced when released though.

@jcwhite_uk

samsung bought x820 phone with just slimeness of 6.9mm, it does have 2 mp camera
shoot videos with sound in a resolution of 352 x 288 pixels
Document viewer adn tv out function
IT was released in 2006

samsung u600
240x320 pixels
3.2mp camera
fm radio
flash(10.9mm)

How did samsung manage to squeeze in 2 and 3 mp camera and radio in slim phone.Is it not Possible to have good camera or is it not possible to have radio in slim phones?why does se doesnt give this option even for heavily priced like w880i .I dont understand they dont want to give or they "dont Know to engineer"
