I tried to make a better translation of the M-R article about N95 camera and the comparison with Sofia:
"As for mobile phones the closest analogue to the camera of N95 will appear only in September in the Sofia, a product of Sony Ericsson. It will have the same size of the body, several improvements for the CyberShot series, and an emphasis on the musical part (Walkman 3.0 and it's not a smartphone). The two products are scattered in time and even in the future the comparison of the two will be pointless, due to different positioning, price and abilities. The product from Sony Ericsson will not be as expensive, but it will also appear later. It is understandable that the magic number 5-megapixels will make many comparisons of their cameras, but in my opinion ther are not many reasons to compare them."
BTW there are also comparisons of photos taken by N95 and K800 which show that a lot of processing is done after taking the picture with N95 (for example the one with the tomatoes). This is probably due to: small phone = small lens and small sensor + 5MP = less light/pixel = lots of noise = lots of processing = blurred details

Based on what Eldar said:It's obvious that SE has broken their cycles k700-k750-k800 sofia will have nothing to do with the K philosophy ,it will be a sort a mega-phone by SE ,even far more expensive than a k800 and even not a smartphone,release date also is an insult for the loyal customers!!!
SE also dont want to do any improvement before that n95 clone,so even if a walkman or M phone comes out those 3 months it will only have obsolete tehcnology and screen size.
ok SE now I am seriously considering samsung,motorala or even the hideous nokyas

@semo
From the review, does it say that Sofia will be
and Cyber-shot? It's quite confusing.
And I've added a new "updates" section to the first post. No more blue text, just the updates section up top with the date last updated.
May add some other things later.

Septembers too late for me - I guess I am going to go out and see whats on the market just now.
Also the "automated" lens cover - its sounds nice but i think i would prefer the old style manual version - with the old method its easier to switch to camera mode and there is less chance of you taking photos accidentally.

try to keep the DSP and cybershot enhancements discussions separated
they're also shuffling some of the Q3/Q2 release dates
so look out for another announcement in individual markets when they're ready (individually)

@shaliron
it's hard to tell what he means by that, i translated in detail but it can mean different things. The way i understand it is: it will be a CyberShot with some new features and it will include the new generation 3.0 walkman player (not necessary with the Walkman brand). And he emphasizes on Sofia not being a smartphone.
Does it have to be a smartphone to have a walkman 3.0 in it?

Sony Ericsson published a press release earlier this morning stating there will be a media and analyst event after the Q1 results on the 20th. Maybe this is a day whe should look forward, or not. Fingers crossed!

They don't usually announce handsets on the same day as their Q1 results but I'll be alert on the 15th or thereabouts as this is a date thats been bounced around a bit.

Q1 looks good
money saved from R&D
since market uptake is slow (that's something they won't tell you explicitly)
blame the general European consumption pattern
blame vodafone
