Very nice

re: C510 - this looks like an attractive upgrade for my wife's K800i. I wasn't too sold on getting her a k810i or even the K850. If the camera incorporates the improved Cybershot tech that made it to the latest SE phones, that 3.2mpx will be able to do stuff the older phone can't.

ps. the W model looks intriguing as well

Maybe, we'll see

As an aside, SE also announced a touchscreen X-series Walkman. It's got WiFi, an FM tuner & is also YouTube compatible. Hmm 16 & 32 Gb storage capacity, they're really trying to match the IPod Touch aren't they?

C510 seems pretty good and not so unfriendly glossy as many other phones in the market. But why to make three different version of it?

*
C510
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA 2100

*
C510a:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA 850/1900/2100

*
C510c:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900

- - -

It's enough to have only this C510a, which can operater in 4 GSM band and 3 HSPA band. Why to make two more version with limited network capabilities?
