Spy shots of touch Sony Ericsson Kurara smartphone pop up - read the full textSony Ericsson obviously feel pretty good about working with Symbian S60 touch-operated UI as they are about to launch a second handset running it after the Satio.

the camera position is awkward

no camera can be located where it is now
i.e at the center
but really hope sony gives out better phones at justified prices

8mp cameraphones are the future, better optics and flash. There's little point in making a 12mp one at the moment.

> In reply to Nokia hater @ 2009-11-04 16:56 from SuA5 - click to readi doubt that this phone will record full hd and if it does, it wont be released within a years time knowing how long it takes se. to record at a higher frame rate than omnia wud be fairly pointless in my opiion. the human eye probably cannot differentiate between 24fps and say 30fps which is the amount of fps most phones use. especially on a phone, noticing small things is hard. if se decide to go beyond 30fps (gr8 for slo mo replay) then they r gna need a really fast processor - which as far as i know they dont hv currently. also imagine the amount of memory that the phone wud need to hv if its gna record at a lot more fps. u might be able to get a nice but very short clip. it will be easier, better and probably cheaper to buy a full hd video recorder and a decent phone. cos if u really care about recording video, a phone is not gna be at the top of ur list.

Im a person who has used only nokia phones so far. I must say that sony ericsson have really woken up this gen with their phones. I am really impressed with their lineup and am actually considering to swap over.

Fake. The front you could kind of get away with it, but the back makes it obvious that its fake

its a bit late if u ask me. samsung has had an amoled 8mpx hd recording phone for a while now. wat will make this so special? y shud ppl switch over to this or even w8 for this to come out wen there is already a phone that does everything this one does?

Okay, let's not get worked up. Omnia HD offers these specifications with a 3.7" display.

Symbian S60 is not what I want. It means the maximum display resolution is only 640×360.

Damn, a phone with those specs with an AMOLED FWVGA display is definitely my perfect phone if is get released early.

If this is real, I hope that it will run Android OS.

I don't know what to say if the display turns out to be a 3.2" 262K TFT and the HD is photos capturing in 1920×1080. With Sony Ericsson, I am always ready to be disappointed.
