@PeterKay
I do think the design isn't too great, but most low end phones aren't very pretty anyway. It certainly looks better than the K310, so at least they are going forward.
@*Jojo*
Well the K310 looks very similar to the K700 anyway, so for a phone to be based on it, not much can really change.
And I think that this'll have memory expansion. 15MB is far too little, and adding a decent amount of flash memory is too expensive at this price level.

Specs are the same like k320i - only the memory will be increased (12mb for a walkman would be ridiculous)
It will be released in Q1 07 together with roundabout a dozen other phones in different ranges
Announcement will be pretty soon
Unfortunately no walkman-button on the front, but on the left side will be a button
And if you don't like the front, you'll hate the back side:
camera looks like a bullet hole - no silver surroundings as we normally know it from SE
But I think the front looks pretty nice for a lowrange - the huge display glass which also covers the speakers has a nice look

Thanks for that info. Nice rendering though, I couldn't have done any better myself; it gives us a nice look into what it will finally look like.
So the memory will maybe be 128/256MB, no memory expansion then. OK for a low end then, as long as it is less than the W300.

Sneff made a mistake. Melinda has a M2 slot and a 256mb card is added.

That makes more sense. It is cheaper to do it that way rather than adding non-expandable flash memory to the phone. As I always suspected.

And the Walkman button is positioned on the left side of it like on the W900i. Remember?

So that means that there isn't a play/pause button anymore? The W900 had one on its d-pad, but this one has a joystick.

UHH I don't know, because I never seen the proper firmware of this phone. The firmware I#ve seen is the one of the k310i

And what about camera? Will it have megapixel camera or VGA (640x480)?
