Hot!

I want one.

Looks fantastic. Shame that like the m600i I own (and every other UIQ3 phone) it almost certainly won't sync with iSync.

It's not that I'm a Mac fan-boy I just want my phone to sync to my computer. It's not a lot to ask.

The keyboard kind of ruins it for me too....

I would say the keyboard design isn't cool and all, but there's a 3.2mp camera. If I have something to say, I can just write a note and take a high res picture or something. Plus, this just turned me from creepy camera phone voyeur to high tech and charming pseudo-spy.

Why keep making the screens larger (now 2.6 inches) but keep the same resolution as smaller ones (QVGA). If your going to the trouble of upping the dimensions, up the resolution too please, pretty please....

I don't so much mind the keyboard, it was the OS that ruined the m600i for me. Finding good 3rd party apps is hard work. Does anyone know if this form of Symbian supports Blackberry Connect? Maybe I'd try it again..

Guys - the two-letter per button keyboard sentence is misleading: it doesn't mean that to get to the 'other' letter a button needs to be pressed twice (a la some of the Blackberrys) - it means that the buttons can pivot both ways and are slightly raised on both sides. I've got the m600 which has this system in place, and I have to say that once my fingers got used to the right spot to press each button I found it all rather comfy and fast.

Just makes me wish I would've waited with the m600 for this one...

Ditto on the pivot system. I have tried it with an M600 and it works really well.

thirded. I've got an m600 and the keypad rocks. I've dialled heaps of numbers and i've never heard the message
"the fingers you have used to dial are too fat. to order a special dialling wand, mash the keypad with your palm now".

my only gripes with the m600: no camera, no wifi.
i wonder if it will run uiq3.1?

My gadgetitis is causing some serious gadgetation of my wallet...must have...but don't need. May be the gadgetologist can help.

This would be a great BB alternative, but a lot of companies would never support a phone like this, so you would be stuck with desktop email redirect.

I want, I want!
The keypad from the m600i is misleadingly amazing. Pit against a BB for speed and accuracy, the keypad here will let you type well in theory 50% faster.

lol ironicly, this phone really looks like an m600i with all the features we'd been asking for since the m600i came out.

Now, as long as it comes in other colors, I'm sold.

Uh... It's just me that see this is a fake? A poorly photoshoped m600/w950. Look at the light reflections and color parts... Not like Sony to do a terrible layout like this one. Go into the Unwired link to see a bigger image.

2 things:
@gsnchz: I really think that the phone will look like that, even if the photos are edited - the same shell as the m600i will cut costs and emphacise it's the m600's successor.

@Louis and maevro:
Listen to m600i users (me among them) when they tell you the keyboard WORKS. Thanks to the original desing the keys are large preventing accidental typos, and thanks to the double-letter setting, the keyboard fits in a slim phone.
So, don't diss it until you try it for a day or two.

Indeed that key design is the best one I've tried yet. They are easy to find and give enough resistance that you're not going to be making a lot of typos at all. Plus you get most of the benefits of a qwerty keyboard in a small package. Yay.

I agree with everyone about the keyboard. I've got a m600i and after about a week I was a typing speed demon with it.

The p700i seems like everyone else is saying it's a m600i with all the missing features from the m600i. Hopefully they fixed the shitty uiq 3 os or went to the 3.1 and it actually works without all the memory leaks in 3.0.
