There's reason for eveything
why i put K810i in because,K810 is a upgrade of k800i,after all k800i is a 2006 phone ,and in k810i There are some greater flaws In usablility the highly inconvenient joystick and the hard soft keys. After all a badly designed navigation solution can spoil the experience of using phone.
If k800i was announced in 2007 i surely wouldnt have put it there.
K800 to K810i
Should bring more inutiative and more user friendliness
But instead it downgrades the user friendliness and usability which k800i had before
So i think k810i justifies that.
So k810 is nothing amazing for 2007 with a critical downgrade from k800

After focusing on producing low-end and mid-end phones this 2007, can SE guarantee us that next year we'll see a more interesting portfolio, especially the high-end segment?

Though i don't agree with all the specifics in arunvc's list, i do agree with the bottom line, that is we haven't seen anything really innovative from SE in about a year.
It's not that i expect them to engage in a spec race and cram dozens of features in a device whose battery will last half a day, but frankly i am also sick and bored with the releases of twins/replicas/clones of past successful models.
SE used to release at least one breakthrough model every year (T610, K700, S700, K750, and to a lesser extent, K800). Where's the innovation since then? I think they put the emphasis too much on widening their portfolio, but what good is 60 phones instead of 30 if so many of them are lookalikes? Reminds me of the Nokia lineup 2 years back, when they had like 80 models and you couldn't tell the difference, they were all clones. Now i think Nokia has streamlined their offer, and SE went right the opposite way.
Wish they got back to the rationale they used when designing outstanding phones like the S700 or K750, packing important features but not all, and keeping a high quality in each feature packed (i mean... the W880 camera... was it designed just to be on the spec sheet or what? if it's not good, don't put it in there, call the phone W720 and price it 100EUR less).
OK, i won't go into details, just that i kinda support the general idea behind this thread, though each particular phone debate would take thousands of posts leading nowhere.

"Sales, money, market share"! I can hear that coming from SE's boardroom. 2007 has been a sad year for SE. The title of the thread is actually appropriate. If you want more sales go for mid and low end sector and that's what SE went for. No innovation whatsoever, SE is lagging way behind in that department.

I can see that this year, there's no breakthrough innovation for
. Maybe that this year
are focusing to the low-mid segment (considering many of new SE phone is for low-mid market). It's marketing strategy or something.
I hope next year is better..!!

yes, I agree
I would love a 3'5 megap. walkman in clamshell shape- I think that is the most resistant shape.I don't like candy bars and althopugh I love sliders, the w580 was a fiasco in my casereturned two in days- and the w910 will be far too expensive for a 2meg non AF.

low range phones have higher markets and well allows everyone to have use of a walkman phone they dont have to be highspec to be useful a low spec phone is cheep ti replace and easy to obtain so i think SE are on the ball this year espec as the new iPhone is about due and who knows what samsung nokia and moto will answer with so hang back let them fight and then do ur research into what people think to the next gen phones then bang it all into 1 phone make millions, you have to also remember sony are fighting 3 battles witht he PS3, blueray and next gen phones + TV's PC's HiFis sound, walkmans so they cant just hope that 1 phone will break the market and everyone will have one unlike nokia did with the 3210/3310
just my 50 pence
