< Esato Forum Index > Sony Ericsson / Sony > General > when is SE new 5 or 8m.p. Candybar-shooter coming ? Bookmark topic

Samsung are hoping for world domination, and when I was in Korea and lucky enough to meet the VP, we got chatting for a while - and she asked me what I thought about things!

We then concluded that one thing Samsung wasn't doing well was having a natural upgrade path for consumers. Sure, they'd like the XXX model - but then Samsung goes and changes everything a year down the line. People then can't see what they want to upgrade to, and start to look elsewhere.

Nokia was always good at bringing out obvious upgrades. Same old product (more or less) with new features. Bang, N95 owners see the N95 8GB or N96 and the choice is made.

If Samsung start to do this next year, I'll be very smug, but I think Sony Ericsson needs to ensure they do this too. Don't keep coming up with amazing 'one-offs' and hope the general public will keep swapping and changing. Most people like stability, so they should have at least 2 or 3 handsets that barely change from one year to the next.

Rather like the old Ericsson days, when handsets barely looked any different at all. The problem then was that this was ALL they did. SE must offer choice, but not fall into the trap of releasing the C902 that everyone loves and then axing the design completely next year.

just to add a comment, i think anyone who has owned a nokia 8800(myself) would agree that slider phones CAN be very very solidly built phones( although the rest of the 8800 is quite average and it is a "luxury" cellphone)

As for my take on screen sizes, i've always bought feature phones so i'm used to big sizes, and yea a 2.4" screen compared to 2.0" screens....for me the overall user experience is improved(still not suitable for movies though-do that on my ipod touch). i don't know about plank but i'd b happy to sacrifice the touch sections for a bigger screen on the c902 since it doesn't bother me too much to flick through a few menus for my settings

You just contradicted yourself in the same statement. Feature phones have always had smaller screens - think T610, K700 etc. Only during the past 12 months have Nokia and begun shipping dumbphones with 2.2" and 2.4" screens. On the other hand, smart phones have always had larger screens, right from the days of the P800 and 7650.

My T Mobile contract is now up & there's no decent Sony Ericsson handsets to upgrade from my K750I to so im sticking with it.

Gone on to the Solo 20 sim only deal now so im only tied in to 30 days at a time.

I hate slider phone's so no C905 for me, im waiting for a decent candy bar camera phone from SE ( so that's the C902 out the picture then ha ha )

T700 seems like a nice candybar, it have a great aluminum finish and a good 3.2 camera. its a good choice to c902 if you looking for some cheaper phone with steel(alu) casing.

a sample from gsmarena by T700, really good picture actually.

Good choice, but I think your C902 already has a good build quality on par with T700, and a not bad camera unit.

yes, you misunderstood little. Im aware c902 have very good buildquality. I just mention T700 is a good choice if you want a cheaper metal-cased phone. (though, i get the feeling that T700 have lighter buildquality then c902 because of its alu casing, steel is little more solid)

Alu and Steel are as strong as each other at that thickness, but Alu is more flexible. (Sorry, I sell Alu And Stainless Steel, just had to say that )

If you don't like the small screen of the C902, don't forget the W902!

Also, I wouldn't worry now you've made the sensible move to go on a SIM-only contract. Now you're probably saving a fortune, and you have a phone you're happy with. Sit tight and wait for the right phone. At least you didn't upgrade to just anything, or carry on paying loads of money on a contract that had paid off the subsidy.
