Yeah, come on, we're only 3 months in! And yeah, the K860i in my opinion won't be called that. I'm quite sure we've seen the last of the old nomenclature with the Z770i and W980i. I doubt the K850i's successor is the C902 though, cause it has a smaller screen and a not as good flash. More of a fashion Cyber-Shot.

Well if SE are going to stand up to the likes of Nokia, etc. They need to keep expanding their portfolio and have more than one option in each level. For example, Nokia have the N82 and N95 and N95 8GB (soon to be the N96) all catering for the same kind of user who want the best of everything in one. This gives the user a choice, they can choose a candy-bar or a slider. So SE need to have more than one phone to give their customers more choice, and to draw in more customers. They have the K850i (or its replacement should it be released soon), which is a more dedicated camera phone with proper flash, and the slim and fashionable C902 which caters more for the crowd that want something to show off.
If SE don't keep releasing a good range of phones, they'll fall into a trap like they seemed to in 2007. Already this year we've seen SE expanding and expanding, so the outlook looks good.

I think that SE has a good iniciative of creating unique phones which cover several different user needs. However, it is obvious that they need to widen the range of choices, as users are very limited when buying a new phone.
I talk for myself, I am a SE lover since I had my first T610. Sadly enough, my next phone is likely to be a Nokia (N82). The fact is that I tried to wait long (I still have my W800i) for a phone with VGA video recording and Xenon flash to replace both my digital camera and my phone. But the G900, though is a quite astonishing device, has QVGA-video camera with no lens-cover and LED flash.
Therefore, I guess many users are in my situation, loving SE for their beautiful and neat designs with perfect user interface, but then if I need certain techology, I have to go to the dark side, and give up beauty and usability, just because I need a good camera and a full-featured phone all in one.
Hopefully SE starts to widen their range of phones and include Wifi and better cameras (no megapixels, but optics and VGA-video) in the near future. It would be a dream for me to soon replace my next N82 by a better SE.

K850 successor will be probably named C905 (European version of SO905iCS/W62s) or C910/C912(candybar).
SE has still alot of things to show us for sure, the inbuilt radio antenna, AM radio, Clear Stereo/Bass, Photoflash, Face Detection and etc which are features usual only with SE Japan handsets(although face detection is already seen in Samsung G800). by that thing i think that Mr Dicky seems to be integrating Japan Tech with the new SEs for European market. one clear evidence is the new naming convention akin to SE JP phones. by the next we may probably see A200/Symbian phones with WVGA displays besides X1.

well, here it says :
Une quinzaine de mobiles et smartphones verront ainsi le jour dans le courant de cette année mais tous ont déjà été annoncés ces six derniers mois à l'occasion de communiqués de presse ou de différents salons internationaux
Which translates into:
About 15 handsets and smartphones will see the light of day in the course of the year but all have already been announced during the past 6 months through press conferences or various international shows.
Personally, I quite doubt that as well, sounds like the journalist mis-interpreted the message in the press conference. I was just citing the source, thinking it would trigger some discussion, and it did !!

it's a bit sad that the k860 wasan't announced yet.....the k810 was annonunced in february last year so i was hoping the same thing for the k860......Mizzle any news on thi subject?
But remember, the K810 was a facelift of K800m which was announced in 2006 february, so a year after the K800. Everyone was waiting the flagsip of 2007 to be announced in february but that was only a facelift. I think the flagship for this year will not be announced more sooner than the k850 last year. But after the delayed announcement of K850 it's quite hard to follow SE's polotics in this domain.
