Guys, if ever that you'll be in the market for this type of industry...what you will have to target are the different levels or tiers/range of people that will use it.

Such as this, the phone is meant to target low-mid range, meaning that the features might be the same, design may vary at some point but to other people, this is already like hitting a jackpot for them.

If you are targeting high-end phones with 5mpix cams, touch screen or wlan or what have you...try looking on other models that would actually fit your taste! and from there you can place your opinions, don't expect that if SE, nokia, Samsung, motorolla releases new phones, just expect that each model are meant for different tiers.

If still, it doesn't suit your level, then wait for an upcoming model!

Not all NEW releases would fit everybody's needs/wants.

@razec

thanx for replying,
I m not a camera addict, but I like the cool finishing of icons and menu buttons. I m using 6120C and I like its 16M colored interface.
However I like G502's simple bar shape, and am thinking to buy it as well...

that test of display cuality don´t say anithing, because the cuality is subjetive,ex: the 6120 have 16M of colors, but the display sucks, but you can see the display of E61 and the SE sucks, for this reason, this point is only subjetive, the cuality depends of the people who uses it.

wherever, nokia rocks!!!

Who cares if it comes with Google maps installed or not, especially if there is no GPS receiver? You can just install it yourself unless you're too lazy or something. It's not hard.

@Aatif:

you won't know how good are SE's display unless you've used/tried one. SE produces one of the finest and best displays in the market. even GSMarena and Mobile-review commented on that ;)

Take a look at this: (it requires registration to view it btw...)

Sony Ericson G502;


Specs and an image of Sony Ericsson's newest phone, the G502, made it out a day early. The EDGE-enabled G502 features a 2-inch LCD with 320x240-pixel resolution. Software-wise, the G has the ability to display Google Maps for Mobile and supports Exchange ActiveSync for synchronizing Outlook contacts and e-mail. Sony Ericsson's NetFront browser can access the internet and download RSS feeds on the A2-based device. Unlike the company's G700 and G900 announced earlier this year, it doesn't have the 3G support, making do with three-band GSM.

The G502's 2-megapixel camera will have the ability to record movies or capture still images at up to 4x digital zoom. Internal memory is rated at 32MB, and externally expandable via Memory Stick Micro cards. Transferring images and other content can be accomplished via a USB 2.0 plug or wirelessly thanks to Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR.

Two color choices are expected: hazel or black.

The G502 is expected to launch by the end of June in selected markets, although nothing is yet official.

@Marsx
Why would you ever buy a phone with cheap arse features? why dont you just go with the phones on the street?It doesnt make any sense, because you're wasting your money on SE phones made out of cheap China labor and materials.

The G502 is a HSDPA-enabled phone targeted at the business & youth segment with support Exchange Activesync and built-in Google Maps for Mobile. The phone is supposedly ready for Web 2.0 with the built-in Access NetFront web browser, and it shall be easy to set up e-mail accounts on it by using the e-mail wizard.

It will feature a 2 mega pixel fixed focus camera on the back with 4x digital zoom and video recording possibilites. Apart from that, G502 features Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR as well as USB 2.0 support.
