> Is Sony releasing a phone with wi-fi built in?
Bookmark topic
I Can't really be arsed going through all the different phones sony will be releasing over the year, so to sum my question up, is sony going to be competing with the N80 at all this year?
Im seriously considering upgrading to the N80....
And is it me, or has sony got FAR TOO MANY 'walkman branded' phones to be coming out soon. Just going on their website, and they all look the same to me, apart from the W950i which is a tad bit unique.
But as it has no camera (and no 3/3.2 mgp camera
), i will not be purchasing it for sure.
And if there are any major downsides on the N80, displaying it in this thread would be greatful too.
Cheers

Well that more or less answers my question lol.
Probably still going with the N80...the p990i is just not my kinda phone! (but who cares
).
If i was SE. i'd release this:
3.2mgp camera (K800i)
4GB internal storage (W950i)
Touch screen with stylus (M600i)
Symbian os with wi-fi built in for web browsing(P990i).
But don't think thats gonna happen anytime soon!
I'd call it the L1000i lol.

I've got an N80 and WiFi is, well, not that great.
My PC laptop, Mac iBook and even the Samsung Q1 UMPC all manage to get a fantastic signal from my router. The N80 starts to drop rapidly, and can even get to no signal, by just moving downstairs and through a couple of walls. The antenna must be seriously weak because the others, and even my crappy Wireless detecting keyfob, work fine.
This also creates problems in WiFi hotspots out and about, as you actually need to know where the antenna is to have a good chance of getting a solid and reliable connection. However the biggest problem is the MASSIVE drain on battery power.
I do still massively appreciate having the facility, but wonder how well it's going to work on the P990i when it arrives. WiFi is good to have, but even the 9500/9300 Communicator's weren't great. I can't recall Windows Mobile devices being great either.

I sincerely hope you are wrong about the P990. I've never used wifi on a pocketpc device, but I use the interenet via a bluetooth activesync connection - works flawlessly. GPRS also works flawlessly.
But wifi is a different beast. Nevertheless despite what you say, I'm expecting the wifi to work well, since SE phones in my experience always perform the way they are designed, unlike Nokia

@Laher: As far as I know Sony won't be releasing any phone in the near future.
