IF this model also has wifi, then that's the end of the P series I think. Why bother with a big flippy P995 or whatever, when this little package already has the lot?

@Boinng- the p series has always been targeted at a certain market and it has established and to a degree destroyed it but it still very much is the flagship of SE's. Think slimmed down, sleek looking and technologically advanced p995. With the same old design I would still buy it. Look at nokia with the communicator series, the last one being 9500 and now e90. It's a company's trademark.

I agree that's how it's been in the past, but with UIQ3 now combining every feature (including one-handed basic phone operation) into "flip open mode", the old P series form factor seems outdated.
In UIQ2 there was an obvious and useful difference between flip up (smaller screen, basic phone functions, basic phone keypad) and flip down (much larger screen, more PDA functions but not such quick access to communicator functions) but in the P990 much of that has already been lost. The M600i already combines the keypads of both modes into one, and UIQ3 negates the need for a flip up "basic" mode.
Add in the missing features of camera and wifi, and I don't see what else a new P series phone would have to offer, apart from extra bulk and weight. Yes, it did used to be a trademark - but arguably the P990 has damaged the reputation built up by the earlier models, and it may not be a trademark SE want to maintain for much longer.

what? i looked at m600i and? no front cam! what a pity!
Ah, but those of us in the U.S., with our woefully behing the times wireless networks, wouldn't even notice. HSDPA is in it's infancy here and I'm not even sure video calling will be supported. Perhaps the M620i will include the front vid cam.

To be honest, video calling is in its infancy everywhere, because even where it's been available for years nobody's actually using it. I'm not surprised to see it being dropped on certain models, since it's a feature that won't be missed by many.

If the photos show "SE123" that's the designation for a prototype. The final revision could look exactly like it or radically different. No telling how many different prototypes of a model are made before choosing the final design. Unless somebody wants to break their NDA and spill, we're in the dark until the phone is officially announced, or until somebody like
Boy Genius gets a hold of one.
