And why would you? No one is buying a new phone just to get a new graphical overlay and a few extra buttons, anyway... oh, wait...

Perhaps SE are no longer capable of competing with Nokia at the top level any more? Thus they are bringing out less handsets with new features and more mid range phones with old buggy features?

Have you been smoking? Give up what? And for the record, p1 camera was fixed, no green tint on my camera more...
Nipsen, i said it before, i appreciate your effort to end all bugs on uiq3 (s60 v3 needs someone like you, because they also exist, still, despite all the differences), but i hardly see how g series phones success will be affected for the issues you point...fact is, its firmware is already stable months before release

Not sure if this has already been posted but opening price and release date on play.com of the g900:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/M[....]cked-Mobile-Phone/Product.html
Considering this is the opening price and play.com are well known for reducing the price of their phones after 1-2 months (like the w960) it bodes well for SE. I can see this phone being a mass hit mainly due its touchscreen, size and functionality features.
Also I hear the n78 being quoted as a possible rival, however I feel the n78 doesn't differ enough from the n73, and the g900s touch screen, and greater megapixel count will make it a more attractive proposition. A more likely rival is the frankly excellent Nokia N82 and you can expect Nokia to try to put pressure on SE's new line up by reducing the price accordingly.

Wow 299???? What a rip off. You can get an N82 or N95 sim free for that much now.

ooohh woppedoo, an N95 that crashes and has a battery that lasts a day if your lucky or an N82 which has a lower quality camera, but I suppose the flash makes up for it, right? I like the N82 but I personally would NEVER compare it to the G900, not least for the fact it lacks a touch screen.

Both good points, ares.
That SE won't fix clear problems with the the UI behaviour, and leaves it in much the same state as it was two years ago - that's something people should be aware of, though.

So it may run the same software underneath but IMO it's now perfected and works properly with proper finger friendly input. Looking at videos it also appears to run faster(...)
Wow. You're as bad as the nokia- boys. Seriously, you don't know a damn thing about what's under the plastic. But we do know it's the same power- consumption, the same components, as well as the same manufacturer for the camera - none of which is a sign of quality. And judging by the pictures - it's also suffering from the exact same problems as the p1. Judging from testimonies about the test- units, the device also has the exact same issues with the firmware as the p1 still has.
Which again only proves that they couldn't care less about the problems with the phones, and are only happy to blame the customers for not buying their devices when the sales drop. Same old, same old.
We
fanboys.
Right, lets tell it as I see it.
1: All I know from what I've read is it uses the same hardware platform as the P1i, but others sudgest otherwise. I certainly won't take what you say as gospel. You have only refered to the camera.
2: The camera is the same as the unit in the C902, as that's targeted as a cybershot phone IMO that's pretty damn good for a cheap smart phone. Not to mention face detection and touch manual focus, oh wait Nokias have that too right????? And PLEASE enlighten me as to how you think you know who makes the camera in the phone?
3: One review shows good pics, one shows bad and I know for a FACT from experience on this website that it can have a lot to do with how the pictures takes, people on here can take blinding good shots, read a review and the phone produces crap shots. Go figure. And just for the record, the UIQ camera interface is an utter crap disaster, the G900 is the first UIQ SE phone to have a totally redesigned and brilliant finger friendly interface, so no matter how the pictures are, the interface alone makes it way better then any P1i.
So it's more stable, has a totally new interface, has a stable platform, is smaller, cheaper, has all the faults of the P1i fixed. Personally I don't really care what you think, I've had a P800, P990. P1i and I can see the G900 being better then all of them with many improvements. I'm not a bloody fanboy, I'm someone who has owned and used the actual phones and so can see where the improvements and changes have been made and how they will make it a much better device.
Why do people on here bitch and moan so much about SE on this forum, yet happily buy there products? Do you have a gun to your head? Seriously, I really don't get some of the comments.

I think you must the 1st person I have ever heard to say that.
And you can say what you will about the N95 or N82 but last time I checked Nokia were the market leaders right?
Yeah thats what I thought. The problem is SE keeo pumping out these mediocre phones with the same old OS and you all keep praising them for it. Nokia had VGA video how many years ago? And apart from the X1 which is WM, SE is still to actually use VGA video!
Just what does your argument come down to seriously?

He's right about the N95. I got an N95 3 months after it was released and it was the most frustating experiences I've possibly ever had. The software was buggy, the WiFi wouldn't work and the phone DID only last 1 day on a full charge. Returned it within 3 weeks.
I don't own an N82 but my best friend does and its a terrific phone, however its failed to become a hit due to its questionable looks(its ugly) and for whatever reason its still retailing for over £300 in the shops even after being out for 5 months, which is far too much.
Plus despite you making an average of 2 posts a day, you clearly don't read anyone elses posts or else you would know that there was general disappointment at the k850 and some of the phones that followed. The G series and the other ranges coming are a step in the right direction which is why most SE users are happy at the new lineup.
Its good to see a Nokia fan like youself post on a thread of the g series phones as it shows your clearly intrigued.
