jplacson,
Dude, calm down. It's a good upgrade to the outdated P910.
Take a look at this pic. It looks pretty nice!
Also, the camera button will not call the camera accidentally. You'll have to rotate the cover on the back for it to work.
I've seen it. The features are good... as always. The design however... well, since Sony got into the picture... man the designs have just gotten fuglier and fuglier. I have no doubts about the features of this phone...which is why I'm so frustrated and disappointed since even if the features make me wanna buy the phone... the execution of the features and implementation of them in the design is absolutely horrible.
The useless internet button is still there... I hope they at least allow it to be remapped without the need for a 3rd party app... or allow browsing with the flip closed... otherwise, it's still a useless button that just looks ugly.
The thumb board alone is enough to keep me away from this device. It's ugly, poorly incorporated, and will have repair issues since now, to change the keypad, the whole phone must be opened in order to service the keyboard.
The ONLY thing that would make me forgive them for moving the thumb board to it's current idiotic location, is if they added a trackpad at the back of the numeric keypad... as something that would allow cursor control within UIQ3, and double as the pen input pad since they shrank the physical size of the screen.
I'm not gonna buy a Nokia instead. I may complain about SE, but that's only because I hold their products to a higher standard than the other brands. I just think SE's current set of industrial designers are either retarded... or heavily on crack. I have no complaints regarding the features they included (or even those they chose to exclude) in the new P990.

Without the flip (for those who haven't seen it)
I'm really afraid that there won't be a view for upcoming appointments on the standbyscreen!! And I really need that. Let's hope it is possible.

I'm horrified - I was truly hoping that the earlier pictures with the built in keyboard were fake. That keyboard completely ruins the look - it compares in no way to a p9xx with the flip removed
They upped the resolution but shrunk the screen size to fit that monstrosity on there too - someone needs sacked for that.
64meg MSPD is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Sack whoever thought that was a 'Selling Point'
3 way jog? Sacked for that too.
By the time this thing comes on the general market it will be outdated anyway...

Definitely Blackberry influence there. I guess they must have deemed it necessary to sacrifice screen size and the previous "flimsy" qwerty for the on-the-body qwerty. This will definitely feel sturdier.

david... Nokia isn't even a consideration... I've seen their best... not even close to the P910 (they may come close to the P900... but nothing worth good money) so that's not an issue.
I think most of us are disappointed with the incremental improvements SE has made... personally, I'm disappointed with the backwards move they made with the thumb board. There was nothing wrong with the P910 thumb board. It was thin, removeable, and easily repaired/replaced. The only flaw it had was the lack of a backlight, which could've easily been addressed had they tapped the numeric keypad lights.
Moving the thumb board to the main body doesn't make it much easier to type with, at the same time, you sacrifice screen size (physical), ease of service for the keypad, and over-all design sleekness (something Sony was never good at)
