Everyone needs to cool their jets and just wait for the announcement. Whenever it may be. We're here to discuss credible info and rumors and leaked info not waste page after page of bickering about what phone is better or any other speculation. Se will do whatever is in their business plan. They will release phones at their own pace and include features that they deem fit. Just like any other company out there. Fact is if you don't like what they're doing or are uninterested then by all means pass this thread by. Cause i frankly would rather read about se phones and specs than read whines and disappointments.

I just want to remind everybody that since the announcement of the Nokia 95-1 in September 2006, Nokia has been pretty static in the top end. In the last 2 years or so, they have not changed it much. They released a 8GB version with slightly larger screen, then the US equivalents, then this Fall they will have the N96 which in reality isn't too different from the N95 8GB. They also released a similar candybar version of the N95, the N82.
SE with their UIQ onslaught this year could possibly take Nokia head to head. This Paris phone will keep up with the N95 while the P5i could take on the N96 and beyond like the Nokia Tube. Plus all the other UIQ phones planned could take on the mid tier S60 devices.

Considering that Nokia easily has the financial resources to mass produce several S60 top end models I'm inclined to believe that SE's manufacturing plants or hardware design engineering team cannot release more than 5 new UIQ phones (and I mean 5 different models not segmented models; ie G700, G900)! Nokia has been HEAVILY focused on Touch S60 platform so thats the reason for the lack of top end phone models. Shit they announce a new phone in ANY level or segment every 4(-/+) months.
I'm hoping you're right and I'M wrong in this ... but remember that SE expected to take HUGE loss this year due to focusing on emerging markets and new platform development & research. This is just not the best environment to release several UIQ phone models within a calendar year. Again I hope I'm wrong in this.
And where has SE official stated anything close to a UIQ Onslaught? I haven't come across anything remote to this, only Nokia stating a more US marketed focus as they're lacking there. I'd like more UIQ phones, but I don't think we'll see too many with good solid specs or variations. And catering to the Europe only GSM bands is a stupid thing. The G-series is a wonderful platform, but with Euro only GSM bands they've just killed half of potential sales to the North/South American potential market.

I hear what everyone is saying and I am going to ignore some of what is being said. I like technology and phones etc. as much as you people do but I was hoping people would be realistic and honest in that Paris isn't going to top the charts and put every company out of business. Bearing in mind that the N95 is old, what makes Paris that much better? Touchscreen yes, qwerty maybe but what else? It probobly will be better but is it £xxx amount of pounds better or not. Like I said before, price is important so is it justified? Just be honest.
N95 + touchscreen + qwerty = my dream phone.
If paris can provide it (as it already did in its form factor) then I won't ask for anything more. How lets wait for the specs...

Besides qwerty and touchscreen,
completely different harware,
out of everything current on market.
There's nothing more to add.

X1 - P5 x (N95 / iphone)²= a dying thread...
I though it was the rumor section but in fact it's the "mathematic" one. hahaha

Amen to that!
People are taking a rumour and treating it as gospel and setting themselves up for an inevitable disappointment after which a dark cloud hangs over the thread - like the supposed Z780i announcement and the '1st week of April!' 'Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed' should be the moto of this thread.

You are...
And where has SE official stated anything close to a UIQ Onslaught?
Is UIQ Technologies enough???

Not direct...but the hints are all there (UIQ roadmap info, "expanding to mass maket", etc)...then if you choose not believe inside information confirmed by several important sources (Eldar, Eomer, etc), its your choice. Just wait

Any ideas about the model x, which Eldar talked about in spillikins #1?
- pocket friendly slider
- sports aluminium accents
- comes in a variety of colors
- 2 inch touchscreen
- 3 buttons on its surface
- somewhat odd design
- dubbed as music-minded offering
