Yep, if we look at the task bar we can see the similarities with X8 display - same size battery and net indicators and the same width of the screen. So i suppose either the screen is smaller and the screen resolution is bigger, or the screen is exact the same as X8 one - 3" 320x480.

It is an X10 mini/mini pro successor.

I can understand his point there. A 3 inches screen is fair big coming from the X10 mini's.

I'm more concerned about the device's side to be honest, the minis are more about the size not the screen. And what about the Vivaz successors? Are they going to get bigger screens, 3.5" should be the size or else its not going to be making much sense with 3" and 3.2".
I'm also guessing the X8 won't be getting a successor for a long time but will just stick around and become cheaper over time.

everything gets bigger
4.3" ANZU is a 4" X10's successor
if there's an X8 successor , I believe it will come with a 3.2 / 3.4 inch screen

MrCash...
Not necceary everything will gets bigger, the X10 Mini's are meant to be mini, this is why in the first place they had a small screens...
I think

thought and heard from thier customers, that minis are smaller than what they should be as a touch device... the screen has to be bigger coz the original was hard to use, that's why I think they decided to go for larger one..
but as the success of the mini series continue, I don't think they will become larger in every generation as they wont be mini's any more !!
now we have some 4.3 and even 4.5'' screens so do you think these devices next gen. will have larger screens ? and what about next ones ??
SE has a very nice strategy of thier first attempt of designing an android phones, Mini, medium and large...
and now they will continue this strategy with a little bit expanding to cover more markets.. some guys will love large screen but not that much spec. so we may see two mini's as usual.. 1 - 2 mediums... and 2 - 3 big ones... these will cover the market and gives more options... ofcourse I'm talking about the whole 2011 year not just 1H, and maybe 2011 and a little bit of 2012 too...
Now

has the perfect design from 2010 Android series...
I hope in 2011 they will have the perfect mix of design, support and market coverage...
Design with the perfect design phones, nice looking and touchs pro...
Support with always fast and up-to-date firmware, not just the first and sec updates, I hope they had fast updates and also makes thier products life span longer so they don't forget them when they launch thier successors after only 1 year !!
Market coverage I mean to design a phone that covers the market needs... currently the Mini, Medium and big phones are good but we need at least two for each of these sizes...
personally I hope

comes with a strategy that makes updates much better depending on age of the device...
1- First year : quarterly based updates ( every three months ), concetrate on fixes and feature updates and Android version when available...
2- Second year : thirdly based update ( every four months ), concetrating on fixes ( if found ) and Android version when available. features can wait for next update in the same year...
3- Third year : Only Android version update.. and maybe some very important fixes if found...
and I don't they will make it but it will be nice to open the platform after that so community can make thier own android updates... I don't think this will happend duo to some IP's in drivers and hardware they can't reveal...

The only thing that would surprise me from SE is if the pull an Apple and say, here are some phones and at least one of them will be available on sale within say a week or two max. Now that would be a surprise. Other than that anything they announce will just be nice.
I don't see the X8 getting bigger in fact I wouldn't be surprised if its successor was a 2.8" screen.

I don't think

will make such updates may be the1st year but not 2nd, 3rd. Its all about making money they would probably sell a new unit than update an old phone. Yes customer care after the unit has been sold is important but it would be more profitable if customers would buy a new

phone

lets face it hardware of phones get outdated fast.

Vivaz 2 is bigger than Vivaz in a good way as is the X10 Mini 2, the current Mini is a bit too small (I couldn't text on it at all). Don't worry though, it looks thinner than the current one and its still relatively small. There's one thing that hasn't been leaked and it would be best for them if it remains hidden until hours before announcement. Not sure if there will be '4' devices announced or released but I agree with Back2You that there are a few more that are close to being ready and it wouldn't surprise me if they were announced as well but at different times.
