new Chocolate phone concept for a Sony Ericsson,its a very thin slider with touch sensitive buttons.

This super slim slider,with its eye catching design and skinny dimensions, it certainly looks the part,With the upcoming release of the Sony Ericsson "Ai" we can only live in hope that the design is along the lines of this beauty. source:mobile-review

hmm. from experience, touch-sensitive buttons are a little difficult to deal with. i dunno if i'm up for the having most of the keypad touch-sensitive. it looks nice, sure, but it'll be a little hard to pull off.

but D*NG that's a pretty phone.

[Rekoil]

Thats impossible, you cant possibly fit a 3.2mp camera in such a thin shell.
And like epak said touch sensitive buttons are a real pain.

Nice concept, bit too shiny for me though.

It's a very nice concept, looks very professional and sleek. I'm not sure if I like the slider mechanism at the front though, it looks a bit fragile, and detracts from the overall look I think. The way the keys are presented in the first picture is better in my opinion.

[Rekoil]

Yeah, and in my opinion the first picture would be more likely if this were ever to happen...

which it unfortunately isn't

I should have said the way the buttons were implemented in the second picture, not the first. At any rate it looks very nice, especially the back. This is the sort of design I think people would really go for.

Sony Ericsson would never copy other manufacturers in that way, kinda fake.

BTW have you noticed sony ericsson never "leaks" with photoshopped pics but always with leak of abilitys of a phone or a spycam shot?

@scots

I agree with you.....it doesn't need the slide down lower panel........

@Rekoil

Samsung have already put a 2mp module in a phone(X820) <7mm thick; SE's 3.2mp module's no thicker than their 2mp one, so why not possible??

[e_p_a_k]

yeah. the way technology's advancing, who knows what is or isn't possible. has anyone checked out the i-mobile 902? its 5MP in a phone about as big as the k750i.

[ixmog]

i want one now !!

[CrazyJ]

Looks bloody sexy but I can see those getting scratched to buggery.

[gelfen]

can anyone say "fingerprints"

still, it's kinda purdy.

[Rekoil]

@Aware

Wow, that truly is amazing, 7mm and they can fit a 2mp camera in it ^__^

<_< I <3 technology >_>

[amnesia]

since it's brown, I'd imagine fingerprints don't show as much.

This phone is not fake guys i am working for Sony Ericsson from past 7 years this phone is for real there are two versions of it one is slider one and the other one is a non slider version thats causing the confusion in the above snaps.The phone will be out in mid Feb 2007 and will cost you $650 to $700 it comes with 2Gb Hard disk 3.2Mega pixcel andit also has radio in it. this cell would be the best creation from Sony Ericsson as there is alot of hard work gone in making this cell.

i can't say i'm a big fan of the italicized keypad fonts. looks a bit too much for me.

[Rekoil]

Doubt it, the pictures look too perfect to be real.

Must be a render.

[e_p_a_k]

can you say fingerprint magnet?

I thought sony ericsson was formed in 2001, so it hasn't even been 7 years yet. How could he haved worked there for 7 years?

Plus the pics look more like renders to me, and if the pics were real sony would have asked for pics to be taken down.

[brick]

I sure hope it's not real. Looks crap.

Plus:
1. The font of "Sony Ericsson" is all wrong.
2. The new phones since W810 rely on 2 extra buttons which are missing from here.
