they realized that swivel is not the only formfactor that can be used when it comes to digital-TV devices
SE japan has a really strong sense of SONY in them, that the product has to speak loudest for the company. as you can see from all of the SE domestic mobile phones, they all have a really strong wow factor
SE at that time considered the swivel as boring, the swivel hinge is a problem, but the biggest problem is that they thought the first SE digital-TV phone must have something more unique, in order to capture a larger fan base. so they waited for the digital radio to become ready, and shoved everything into the dual-hinge W44S.
that's the story
eventually the W43S settled for a 12LED flashy external panel with exchangeable facets. (yes, the swivel phone is supposed to be called W43S if it were to be released, and the 12LED thing was only used for marketing analysis)
the W44S went for the dual-open mechanism, trust me the final product is already looking much much much better than the old prototype (I think i've posted pics of that old proto on mobile-review before..)
both of them are (and going to be) bestsellers, the so903i is also really popular, just right behind sharp sh903i, but that's expected

What r the specs of ŽAiŽ?? It seems like a slim w800/w810 with probably worst cam (2.0mpx without autofocus). I didnŽt like the design... it looks cheap and unfinished and may i say what an awful keypad solution. What happened to the good old days when
still used to make really confortable keys like t630/k700? The ŽaiŽ is probably just an opportunity for
to cash on the same platform for the third time, using a diferent design. The only thing that would make these phones more than a simple grasp for money would be the presence of big internal flash memory (like 4gb), then it would have something new tech wise and it would look better for the brand and it would have a least ONE thing new. However, i believe this phone is adressed to the mid/low end market so it will probably be cheap and have no flash memory. K800 is still the best
mass phone at the moment and it will continue to be for several months if things continue like this.

i would like SE to make a phone in size of T66 or T600 with a basic specs.. i think if they could make it very small and nice looking for a decent price of cource it could be a hit. Not only top notch phones sell!

Ai is not ugly, it is extremely ugly. I really don't know how they could come up with this design.

So what was Ophira? Was that the cancelled device? Was it 3.2mp?
We can see why the cancelled device was flimsy as the pivot was above the at the very top handset.

@goldenface
if you remember the k800i had similarities to the already released at the time s903i (dont know if thats the right model number, jap phone though with 3.2mp) features wise, etc...
So i would have to say the Euro Bravia phone will be similar/based on the w44s, so should be either a flip/hinge, or even a swivel, even though
said no more swivels....

I'll assume you're referring to the SO902i. I am sure that was a smartphone but the K800i wasn't far behind in the cam department.
Its my guess that the W44s will be heavily restyled for the Euro market and it will have to have a hinge and/or swivel to accommodate that huge screen anyway.
That W44s is definitely a Sony.

Come on its not all that bad
They will certainly come up with a better design in the future, but as its a first for
with a thin phone, its not that bad.

Regarding the last pic, is it just me or is the phone curved at the top?
