I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of moving your post to the frontpage (I also edited the formatting a little).

@all

I am not sure if the picture is correct or not at this stage, but the specifications certainly seem to be. More specifications will follow later today.

thats fine, i was searching for a post including it but suprised that no one had made one yet, Im hoping for wifi would be awesome, with that screen if picture is correct video could be a possibility on the side so theres always hoping, it looks awesome tho

@Tipex

Wouldn't the Z800 have been a good replacement for your Z600? Mind you I can see why you would want to upgrade to the W950.

[Ixalon]

Ah, this one might be the one for me... (I think I've said that 4 times already this year with all these announcements!)

Looks like an exciting new concept - will be interesting to see how successful it is.

If you check the link posted by ronnie, the news item is not there anymore.......hmm, i wonder why?

[rosswf]

Yeah i noticed that aswell! Also wheres the image gone? i just see "IPB Image"

[scotsboyuk]

Perhaps SE have asked for the story to be pulled until they officially announce the W950? Does anyone have a copy of the picture in their cache?

The specifications given for the W950 appear to be correct. I am not sure if the picture that was posted was correct since I haven't seen any other pictures of the W950, but this handset does exist.

Here is the pic

Number of downloads: 1437.

And here is the story  Story.txt (3.58K)
Number of downloads: 648 There seems to be no camera which is a little dissapointing but other than that this can surely be my next mp3 player/phone . This looks really good "it’s possible to search visually by browsing through album covers using the stylus and touch screen."

[mikhan]

Please someone, look at your cache!

@Paulino

Top man!

[Dyce9984]

more pictures will be coming soon, as soon we legally can

[skeet]

the picture does indeed seems to be a fake.
why ?
in the specs, there are NO mention of M2 memory stick in the device,
but on the picture, you can clearly see something that is the M2 port on the M600

What do you guyz think of this ?
