I want a G900 as upgrade to my P1. That's all I will say here.

This is medium range phone.
They must have made market analisys, and I'm sure that medium range users are not HSDPA heavy users. Worst, I believe most don't even know what it means and if it is being used on their phones.
You internet-on-the-move addicts are fussing about a phone that was not buit for you! So why do you care if HSDPA is built in?
Wait for the P5. That's YOUR phone.

Yes but of those phones you mentioned, most have no touchscreen
So in one area atleast (in the post-iphone days remember) SE have a heads up on the industry leader. I think you will find the general public will get excited about the G series touch UI and won't even notice the lack of HSDPA
I never said G series will be a flop. On the contrary, there will be a high demand. But I highly doubt the absence of HSDPA will go unnoticed.
All I'm saying that they should have offered a phone just like this (G1000?) WITH HSDPA. Then it would be a new Nokia killer. This way it's just almost, but not quite...
So why do you care if HSDPA is built in?

I don't think so, what lots of customers want is a true k800/k850 successor, a candybar smartphone with WiFi, good camera, HSDPA and GPS. Touchscreen, even better. Now I think most of such customers can live without 16M colours LCD and without integrated GPS but the absense of HSDPA will hold us back...

Ok, point taken, but can you explain why HSDPA has not been in the last 5 UIQ smartphone models (G-series not included of course) but was important enough to be available for camera and music enthusiasts who are in this group you call 3G/HSDPA illiterate?

It's probably not going to be MY phone if it is built on UIQ3 because SE's just too lazy/uninterested to develop the platform further to support HSDPA and a kaleidoscope of other technologies after developing it since mid 2005. And since P5 has not been announced yet, after almost 2 years of waiting for an SE HSDPA business phone, I probably have to wait for another year (hypothetically speaking, of course there's no reason to wait for it if it takes that long)? So much for "a leader in mobile communications"

@mode, why have you contradicted yourself in the same post? You say the P5i is not your phone but you'll have to wait for it as a HSDPA SE business phone? Get an X1 then!
@saka, glad to see again your talking about the market as though you know exactly what thousands of SE users want. To be honest their probably aren't thousands of users that care less what brand their phone is. And will you please stop going on about the G series as a business phone. It's not, SE have said it's not. So please note the G series is NOT aimed as business users, it's a multimedia device for everyday people.
Everything you said you wanted has already been announced in the X1. SE like to make and aim specific models at specific markets, if you don't like that then tough, get a Nokia cause I doubt very much SE will be changing any time soon. The G900 is for people like me, I couldn't care less about the business side, about weather it has HSDPA, I want a smaller phone then my P1i that's faster and cheaper, I don't want a P1i business orientated device, so I want a G900. If was a business user I would get an X1 as that is aimed at business users. I really don't see the point in TV tuners in a phone but hey if that's what others want fine, their are phones specifically designed for this and it's the same with the G900 and the X1, specific phones for specific users and their needs.

Neither is K850, yet it has HSDPA. I never said G series are business aimed, yet it should have HSDPA, just as K850 and other c-s devices have.
And please stop with lame answers like get a X1 (a useless windoze brick with 65k colours!) or get a Nokia bull... (another brick btw).

There are 375 cell phone descriptions/reviews etc. on this site, and I counted 71 Sony Ericssons.
Given the already-mentioned idea that not ALL phones will have EVERY option, why can't we simply enjoy the technology without bickering about what SE should or shouldn't be doing with it's new model phones.
I am still looking for the perfect phone, and it looks like the G900 is it.
Everyone has their unique requirements and every country/market has their own level if technological infrastructure and at different costs.
There is no way to support the idea that what is good for one person is good for a different person.
What makes me so happy about the G900 is that there is only 1 negative thing about it, and that's the lack of HSCSD / HSDPA. However, my personal interest is to NOT be dependent on the internet, let alone a high speed connection - I want as much as possible on on the phone itself. Therefore the high speed circuit connection doesn't matter much to me, whatever my ISP would charge for it.
Therefore, it's the perfect phone for me. No negatives. As soon [as it's for sale and] it's price drops to below $400 or so, I'm going to get at least one of them.

I also think it would be nice to have completly direct equivalent to k850 in the g series with hsdpa...however these first g series are to be sold cheaper than the k850. I imagine the next devices on the series will have those features, but also be of a higher segment

The bare platform is from 2005. I am not talking about addons

Actually there are many more negatives. I mentioned 4 (in the order of importance):
- No Turbo-3G (HSDPA)
- No GPS (built-in, no accessories)
- No 16M colours display
- No Xenon flash
Now I can live with latter 3, but it's gonna be hard without HSDPA in 2009. If you can live with(out) all 4 great for you.
however these first g series are to be sold cheaper than the k850
I wish that would be true but I seriously doubt that.
