At 6-7mm I'd bet the casing would be sealed with fixed battery and possibly fixed memory to save space and enable the thing to exist. Battery covers, battery connectors/casing are space wasters. SE with or without Ericsson should move this way sooner rather than later.

Though it looks nothing like

design, I'm all for new/different styling, as I think the 2 designs recycled over and over for 2011 was starting to get a little boring: Arc/Neo/Pro/Play & Ray/Mini/Mini Pro/Live/Mix/Txt. [Active looks like Samsung or LG designed it.]
Anyway, I'm sure this 'W23' will look great in official pics....
Once again, I agree with you! As great looking as the 2011 portfolio is it was starting to get really tired. They need a refresh and a new design language that will stand out from the 2011 portfolio. In fact, the design language of this year is a carry over from the 2010 one, the arc is an X10 given a make over.

Well, no, they had two design languages this year; the H1 phones were evolved from the X10 while the H2 phones had a new language. Honestly, I think it works out fine for SE if they do it this way, especially since, this year and last year, the H1 phones were large size and the H2 phones were basically shrunken versions of the H1 phone(s). So then we'd get shrunken packaging between H1 and H2 and then refined styling between H2 and the next H1.

Actually, you are right! There are two design languages for this year.
I like the Ray's style better along with the minis. I would love to see something completely different for next year though.

That is not just thin, it's emaciated. If the current rumours are to be believed 2012 is shaping up to be quite interesting already.
6-7mm sounds impossibly thin - look at how thin a 3.5mm jack is.
maybe its time to drop 3.5mm audio jack and bundle every phone with a stereo BT headset for free.
of course it is still possible to put a 3.5mm in. let see how it goes.

Not really.
I guess any improvement compared to the last report is good. Not bad.
On to the next two quarters, I hope they do make a profit by then.
I
f they managed to move from 7.6 million phones to 9.5 million I suppose they can easily get to 12 million by the next quarter.
I am glad there is positive movement forward instead of going backwards.

Yeah, that's a 25% increase in number of shipped units from Q2. Several phones were also not availible for most of Q3 so Q4 numbers are really going to be interesting (hehe, don't we say that every quarter?). Now I'm just hoping for an ICS announcement sometime shortly after the Google/Samsung event next Wednesday.

Well hopefully we can put the split rumors to rest now when the report is out. Analysts thought they would announce it today together with the report.
Safe for now

"Bert Nordberg (president and CEO of Sony Ericsson) said that they will
be shifting their entire portfolio towards smartphones in 2012. He didn’ t specify an
OS"
sounds to me like a company with a plan, not one that is about to part ways...
still hopeful this it's just a meaningless rumour
