To me the G900 IS amazing. I had a K750i which as you all know is a stunning phone. But I fancied the P990i, so 800 years later I got one for free on an Orange 18 month upgrade. Fine I thought, liked it a lot, however I truly hate the camera interface, and then the iPhone came out and lets be honest once you play with it you think why aren't all touch screen smarty's like this?
But then the P1i came out about 7 months after the P990i so I got that sim free as Orange refuse to support it, I also got TomTom and then a bluetooth GPS for a Christmas pressy. And now I can't live without the P1i and Tom Tom. I don't use it often but love the fact I can just get my phone and use free car sat nav. But it still has the worst camera interface ever.

So now SE have released a phone with a smaller but much better quality touch screen. It's faster, will run my Tom Tom, has finger touch icons for main functions, is smaller and lighter and has an amazing camera interface. So as I just want a phone to run Tom Tom on, use for text and tel calls (amazing that I know!) and view my works rota in excel format on, then the G900 is exactly what I want and it's cheaper and with some luck Orange will support it. I'm without doubt the G900's target market as I DON'T want it for business use. I am very glad for the phone as i looks like the K750/700 and has a D pad too and a separate volume control.

So I guess I'm saying it's a MUCH improved P1i with all the faults fixed for less money, so I'm not disappointed at all with what SE have done.

Well, first of all, I agree that the thread is rather pointless. And I'll try to answer your questions, SE76:

-IMO the point of the C series is isolating the Cybershots from the regular K phones. It also has a point, because the K series is pretty broad, so they'd run out of indexes pretty soon, unless they'd change the number logic like with the P1i.
-G series has a huge point. As djin said, these are all rounders. Not only that, these phones should boost UIQ3's popularity. The P and M series are business meant handsets, and you don't see them as often as Series 60 phones. G phones are SE's take on accessible smartphones, and a response towards S60's popularity rise.
-I do agree with the W980i, I'd take the W960i or the W890i over it any day.
-I wouldn't be as sure about qualifying the X1 as a business phone. The marketing mostly focuses on the multimedia features, and remember that marketing means a lot towards the handset's classification. I'm not sure what does the US market think of the HTC Touch, but here it's considered a fashion handset first and foremost.

SE76 is absolutelly right about that. SonyEricsson can design beautyfull phones ex.
T610, T650, K810, K850.
Most of new ones are just dissapointment in design way.

I don't see a point of this thread too. If you are disappointed, then it's fine. You aren't the only one because I've seen many others complained. But you don't have to be wasting valuable space on the forums, starting a new topic, and expressing your love to nonreal Sony Ericsson concepts that are all fan-made. We do have a dedicated Sony Ericsson concepts thread should you want to discuss about them.

More importantly, Sony Ericsson is not going to change their phones because of you. I think the newly released phones are great and win over other company solutions, such as LG. Just because you don't like the G700 and G900 phones doesn't mean others don't like them, and evidently, the phone's not catered to your audience. Let's stop complaining and whining.

i have to disagree here. we have more then enough space here for discussions. so everybody should have the chance to make her/his opinion public, if its discussed already, it will will be locked and linked to a similar thread. if it dosnt fit anyway the forum, the mods take care of it.

Hi all,

Well unlike some others on this forum i will take form over function most of the time and sorry but how ever exciting some of you find the new G series is a smart phone launching mid 2008 with out HSDPA is just madness. Especially when SE has started putting HSDPA in some of it's non smart phones it really seems very illogical to say the least.

Marc

You are right, but these smartphones are not dediated for business users, its for normal users, and that may be the reason why SE did,nt put HSDPA in these phones, but i'm still going to buy G900 though
