Yeah that seems likely, especially considering CTIA is an American thing. Which is also the reason I don't think we'll see much else announced... No offense to any American members, but it just doesn't seem like the place to announce a whole bunch of phones which will sell well in anywhere BUT the US.

I can't believe the Z780 is "for" America. AT&T still hasn't released the Z750 and won't until late April/early May. The K850 was canceled. SE is just wasting their time if they think American carriers are actually going to pick up their stuff in a timely manner. Or at all. There's at least a year turnaround.
But I agree--the P5, while I assume it will be triband HSDPA, is not "for" the US market because no one understands what UIQ is and would be confused. Paris will be announced at a Euro event. When's the next one?

I'm expecting a lot of hardware for the American market this year from what has been said previously.

Hmmm... Don't know about Euro events, but they could release at Communicasia or whatever its called. I think thats coming up.
I find it funny how you don't hold your fellow Americans in very high regard. Like you seem to imply that every single one of them know nothing of technology. Its funny.

Yup, very much... with the state moto is in at the moment, it is the best time that SE can make its presence felt in the american mkt. Even Rikko Sagakuchi, VP and head of portfolio and propositions said that this year they will focus on american market, when i met him at MWC in Barcelona.

Well, that's very well and good (seriously), especially for people like me who buy stuff unlocked, but that is not the way the carriers here work (and most Americans are brainwashed and rely on the carriers solely--only a slim minority is aware of what "unlocked" is). Just because stuff is made "for" the US market doesn't mean it's actually going to see the light of day outside online import shops. With the imminent release of the Z750, the Z780 won't be released for at least another year, probably more. And even then, it will most likely be canceled.
Again--Paris will probably retain all the frequency bands as the X1, which means it can be used in the US, but it isn't "for" the US, which made announcement at a US event illogical. The next Euro announcement is most likely at this point.

You get that vibe too?
No, I don't hold the US public in high regard when it comes to tech, especially phones. It's really frustrating when people rant and rave about their latest phone that is just a shoddy downgrade of a Euro phone released a year and a half ago (the latest news is that carriers are releasing--ZOMG!--LG Prada variants). But it's the carriers' faults, not the pubic.

It's said to be loosing ground in Europe, so it should focus there aswell.
Cuba is another open frontier.

That's just Verizon, which is CDMA and pretty much moot when it comes to "other" devices. The GSM carriers have always accepted any device, but it's up to the consumer to figure out there actually are other devices to have.
Any more phones for today? And for that matter, any pics? Or maybe the announcement hasn't happened?
