Rumour has it that SE will not be entering into further agreements with NTTDocomo and will no longer be making handsets for this huge Japanese Operator.
More news as it comes.

Not surprised. I would really advise Sony Ericsson to continue the Japanese market by starting to design/produce phones for Softbank. For Softbank, Sony Ericsson can use their own software platform, as long as the platform can support the Japanese programs/network such as 1-Seg. Sony Ericsson Japan and Sony Ericsson can then finally work together in producing phones for the entire world, with a touch of Japanese design and innovation.

If you able to check out the RFID declaration letter put in FCC.
it seem to claim it will be disable when its at Canada
the statement does stated clearly this is OEM for KDDI.
Just maybe ...maybe it is regulation by FCC tht product tht can roaming at USA need to declare? of course i am not sure....but beside unique outlook or wide screen....RFID seem to be something new....but well we have heard Japan want to bring those thing into their phone for a long time....i guess its not unique to this SE product.
Exactly.
And on another note, the SH907i or now might be named as SH-01 or SH-01A has also passed the FCC. So the previous rumor of the phone having 8.1 MP AF CCD Sensor is now a fact: see below:
Of course, you can see a MicroSD (MicroSDHD presumably since the 905i and 906i already has it) slot placed in a not so convenient location. But nevertheless, it's there. Also take a look at the LED flash (sigh... but there are no xenon flash phones in Japan). The phone will also have Dolby Pro Logic II.
I'm sure the next Sharp phone for Softbank will have similar specifications, but perhaps, pretty different looks.
Now this is what we call the real killer, CCD and 28mm wide!

Agreed. According to DoCoMo insiders, the actual phone feels much thinner than the SH906i, even considering with the huge camera.
I hope confidence that this will become the best camera phone for a long time, just like the 903SH (best 3.2 mp camera phone). While it doesn't have Sony Ericsson's Xenon and Photo LED Flash and the gimmicks of Samsung, it has the a true camera lens. Hopefully, other companies will take note. I also hope that this will be the catalyst to better camera phones in Japan. After the 903SH, Japan has focused a lot on 1-Seg Mobile Television, ditching image quality. Let's hope that changes. =)

A lot of the Docomo phones are very similare, I hope SE can concentrate on making better phones for KDDI.
The Sharp lens look quite big. I bet the snaps are amazing.

Actually, that was more after 904SH, when Sharp got shouted at for using too much compression on pics(for a fast saving time), and of course, then went and messed up 910SH completely......
This looks good(from what's known so far, and this one pic) - Finally, they want their position back...go, Sharp!

I would prefer Softbank just because I would be able to have a chance to use that phone in Canada =)

Huge blob of new lovely keitais here. Just to let you know, operators will announce phones from Fujitsu, Panasonic, Sharp, NEC, Sony Ericsson, Casio, LG, Toshiba, HTC, & Hitachi. Announcement for the winter collection of phones varies on the operator, list below:
- Au by KDDI: October 27
- Softbank: October 30
- NTT DoCoMo: November 4
Let's start off with Au by KDDI. They will only be releasing 7 new phones (or 7 that we know of). They are Casio W36CA with Exlim Camera [8 megapixel phone race], W64SH from Sharp [3.5" slider "full-face" phone], W63H TV Phone from Hitachi, W65T slider from Toshiba, W62P from Panasonic [clamshell with flip button], W64S from Sony Ericsson, and W64K from Kyocera.
W64S is expected to be dual CDMA/GSM. We could expect it to be usable internationally (OOO I'm interested), though chances would be slim.
W63CA ELIXM
W63H
W64K
W64S Global Passport
W64SH AQOUS
W65T
~~~
Softbank will have a small winter collection. We only know of these phones at the moment:
830CA (Casio)
830P (Panasonic)
930SH (Sharp)
931SH (Sharp)
930SC (Samsung)
HTC Touch Diamond
HTC Touch Diamond Pro
~~~
NTT DoCoMo is releasing a family of phones: 23 to be exact. There's going to be so many we don't know to this date. So far, we know of the F907i which is actually renamed as F-01A, SH907i to be SH-01A, etc. etc. There will be a huge range of phones from standard clamshells and sliders to double-hinged clamshells, cycloids, Panasonic's W-Open horizontal hinge clamshell, PDAs and more. There will be five phones from Panasonic; four phones each from NEC, Fujitsu, Sharp and two phones each from Nokia, LG and HTC. Frankly I'd love to know how docomo can afford to finance the development of 17 phones and customisation of six more when the Japanese market is declining because people are stuck in two year contracts and the increasing cost of living is leading to less phone upgrades.
LG-01A
SH-01A
