If SE continue to enhance Java and add high featured devices such as this one, these will truly be compelling alternatives to more traditional smartphones with alternative operating systems. They do pretty much everything a windows mobile does, apart from the additional customisation and office suite support.
FINALLY SONY HAS OFFICIALLY MADE IT OFF OF MY CRAP LIST!!! 3.5mm on a walkman phone with a huge screen? Are they under new management? Is this a result of Obama taking office? Are their engineers children being held by terrorists? Whatever the reason, I'm glad to see it's here.
a very small display is really irretating..
very much lousier than rumored Hikaru. Sad..
Agree, not every one needs a smartphone. I currently have a SE G900, it is good as an UIQ device, but not as fast other Java-based SE phones. SE has the best JAVA-based interface, LG has crappy file managers, samsung slow response and can't install java apps and nokia is short of some features(in java, of course). This Hikaru is really good, hope this will have good video recording.
this one will be the best music n multimedia phone 'til 2010...
i love this phone, n make my love to SE increase in high scale...
love SE 4 ever, never want to let it go...
Ryo Jin, 09 Feb 2009Yes, this is nice phone. Best walkman phone ever. But, I think SE fans must grow up. Don't li... moreSE is what SE is, In my opinion Nokia fans are the worst!
This is Hikaru?? There were so many fake pics on the net... all of them made expectations go wild... but this is hikaru?? I´m truly dissapointed...Looks like every other SE slider... specwise is not that bad... but it could have been something more along the lines of the nokia 5800... NOW that would have been nice! Well, that´s too bad... SE is following Motorola down the drain...
this is the greatest phone. it should be WM OS but i still love it
Yes, this is nice phone. Best walkman phone ever.
But, I think SE fans must grow up. Don't live in just small world.
Sony Ericsson Hikaru it's beautifull bluetooth 4.0 stereo....
rsrsrsrsrs perfect
This will definatly be my next Walkman Phone, A BIG upgrade from my 3 year old still working W850
YEAH YEAH!
SE you have cracked the bubble us SE Fans were waiting for!
8MP, 3.5mm jack, Wi-Fi, GPS, Stereo Speakers, Music Keys, LARGE Display!
This Hikaru Will ROCK!!!!!!
finally 3.5mm jack...now where is the standard usb port??
It is the best feature phone. Simple fact.
I just tried to explain that it's not the Hikaru most of the SE fans wanted. But if I wanted to buy a feature phone now it will be exactly Hikaru.
Yes agreed that not everyone is looking for a smartphone. The are usually buggy, laggy and not user friendly. I hated uiq interface for it's lag.
Anonymous, 09 Feb 2009I tried to explain you that SE can't show any progress.
And don't run from my question - t... moreJust look at the incredible long battery life of this Hikaru-Phone. It will be better than the competiton. Even the display of color will be better due to advanced SE technology.
The extra personalized option will make it look like YOU want, in a easy to use-way. No other manufacturer has that.
Okay, the screen is not 3+ but please show me a post that we (SE Hikaru-Fans) ever stated it would have such a big screen.
And the new WALKMAN-Software is so much ahead of the competition, its unbelievable. Trust me, this phone is the onliest thing you want from MWC. Its a true uberphone.

Not everyone wants a smartphone. Some of us just cant get used to the dull, slow and drab interfaces. SE's UI is fluid and fast and it does every reasonable thing one asks of it.
smart phones arnt always the best, i love the sony ui, and i will always go with it, the alarms work exactly the way i want them too, so does the ringtones and pic and sms assigned to each caller. these are my fav things about se, ive used nokia 6220 classic and it couldnt do these things they way i wanted it too. symbian isnt easy to use, seems harder and more complicated. i have c702 and ive hacked it and added so many cool things to it, cant see u doin that to nokia smart fone. oh my other fav thing is the themes, i love my se bein personalised to how i want it, where as many other fones dont give u that choice at all, i hate the samsungs noise it makes wen pressin buttons. the older ones you couldnt switch it off, so annoying. neways i like so ui and i hope they dont change it. if u want smart phone buy xperia or buy samsung innov8 or the newest samsung, if thats what u like
