What are you feelings about new products?

[who]

well SE is going for the all round market and I kinda like the S600 funky look

[helmchen]

:sad:I've been expecting a new smartphone ...

[vanquish]

I wasn't, the smartphones are for the end of the year. The K750i and W800i are top end phones which are just coming onto the market now so i'm not worried.

[Dyce9984]

I have to admit that the w600 is interesting, how ever I still feel a little dissapointed that they haven't so far announced a high-end device.

Maybe I'm just greedy for me, while I'm holding my K750 after the announcement of 4 high-end models earlier this year

there was a lot of speculation on all SE pseries related forums that there would be a p series phone on show today, i think there are going to be a lot of feadup people out there, this phone has "going to be released" since before christmas! getting fed up of waiting, did anybody ask where and why it was not on show in the press conference?

[jimbo87]

Sadly my vote goes to somehow unsatisfied.

The fact that they introduced another variant of the K600(the best looking in my opinion) somewhat dissapoints me.Also there wasnt any smartphone and that is bad cause SE is absent from a growing market.Personally I cant see any success for the J210.
The Z520 although it reminds me of Alcatel I really like it.
I dont really like the S600 but I suprisingly like the W600.

Eldar from mobile-review said that we can expect new smartphone(s) in september.

[MikLSP]

I've put unsatisfied because a new smartphone was essential and it's not there!!!

[frikova]

I wanted a p series phone to be presented, but the w600a saved the day!

[MikLSP]

I wouldn't exactly say it saved the day:

1: it's not a smartphone
2: no external memory
3: only for the US

SE, you're not listening! We NEED new smartphones

You people in Europe get ALL the cool phones. Give us in the US just one.

And SE would be crazy not to have a w600i, they should have made it quad-band like the z520a/i

[MikLSP]

I've no problem with it being available to US but there's no way it should be US only! As u say they've got to do a W600i but we shall see

[staiano]

I have to ammend some of my comments about my love of all these phones (in this an other threads).

I just realized than none of the s600i, z520i/a, w600a have a memory slot. I just assumed they all would :sad:

I know that SE released mid-range models today but I guess I never thought a memory slot as JUST highend now

I don't feel so bad about geting my k750 and not waiting for the quad-band zoe now. I almost had some buyer remorse.

[ added ] Totally MikLSP. By releasing zoe they showed they have the quad-band ability/technology. Unless they thought the w600 wouldn't make it in Europe with no memory slot ?

[Pallister]

This was far from impressing by SE. I know the marked needs mid-range phones, but this won`t do at all....

I had high hopes and was again dissapointed. I know that SE probably will launch high-end and smartphones later this year, but I`m way to impatient for that....

I try to thing logically why SE don`t launches a new smartphone (s) but I`m stuck. Can`t find one reason at all. I know after a launch there is always better modells, spec wise on the horizon, and we will never be fully satsfied, but on the other hand, other manufacturers throws out new handset who suits all....

I`m not saying that SE shoulg go "Nokia" on us, but seriously a upgrade for the Pseries is well due, and has been for a couples of months.

[frakker]

Meh! Can't help but feel it's been a bit of an anti-climax, even though I pretty much knew that an upgrade to their smartphone range wouldn't be announced, I had some hope.

Out of the phones mentioned today, the S600 is about the only one that interests me. Decent camera, proper HTML browser and two stereo speakers. The others are nothing amazing, more middle-of-the-road affair. Good, just nothing that stands out and makes me want it.

And nothing with Wi-Fi!

[Eggy]

No high end phones... :Pop:

I wonder why people should wait for a P successor this long. The HTC Universal will be out soon as well...

[helmchen]

@Eggy: The only possible reasons are not to want a phone with M$-operating-System and something like brand loyality.

[scotsboyuk]

I am reasonably satisfied by today's announcements because it has demonstrated at long last that SE can compete with the other manufacturers outside of the high-end segment and that they can do this with more than just a passing interest.

The handsets announced today are all aimed at the low to mid-range markets, whicg are market segments SE has been rather devoid of support in relative to the likes of Nokia or Samsung.

Of course we all wanted to see high-end products, especially a new P series, but one has to look at such an omission rationally. It could be that SE have been waiting to see what the competition were introducing in terms of smartphones this year and have waited accordingly so as to release a new smartphone that competes with these new devices in the best possible way. SE want to make money and I don't think they would be keeping a new smartphone back for the sake of it, there will be a logical reason for the delay.

By the way: uiq.com seemed to be down today for quite a long time. If they had to pull back a press release?
