This is just the tease, of the project of a prototype for a possible model of the next decade.
Poor Eriksson I'm really sorry for it, all its troubles started after the alliance with Sony, for which the cell phone division is not strategic and the last of its worries and that if it has money to invest in R&D it prefers to invest it in projects on which it does'nt have to share returns with the sweds.]]>Feb 15th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/
Sony needs to make this function more like an SLR, meaning it needs....
Manual Zoom. Just like DSLRs.
Super Fast Auto focus ( so I can get my shots off quick )
6 FPS with flash
F2.0 Aperature lense with an 16-105 range.
ISO 100 - 6400 min
RAW mode
Priority mode shooting ( Auto, A, S, P )
scroll wheels for manual shooting adjustments.

I want to be able to harass local celebrities without having to tote all my SLR gear with me.]]>Feb 15th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 16th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/To be perfectly honest, I don't really need it though.]]>Feb 15th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/
However when the next revision includes a new feature, it is suddenly a must have, and all competitors that have had the same features for years are suddenly get accused of copying Apple.]]>Feb 15th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/
though as an iphone user i would have to say the camera desperately needs an upgrade. the current cam is complete crap.]]>Feb 15th 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Make these guys even more slimmer and smaller. I'm gonna upgrade for my 3.2MP k790i once they touch the 20MP limit. would be cool recording HD vids on muh phone.

SE FTW!]]>Feb 15th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/ I'm excited because
1- They can still make the lens a little wider when needed, there's enough space for wider lens on the back of the phone (although i dont know any technical details about that, its not my field)
2- I love how my 3.2 MP comes handy whenever I'm out in a Park, or with friends on an unexpected visit to some cool place that's worth taking pictures at. The quality of this 3.2MP is much better than my 2MP k750. so even though the pictures wont be comparable to real cameras. Mobile phones still win my heart because you have them everywhere, in school, in the office, at home.
3- I'm an SE fan :)]]>Feb 15th 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Just trollin' . . .
Nice phone though, don't expect it replace my DSLR but could be useful as long as the price tag isn't too scary.]]>Feb 15th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/

I have to say, having mini-usb rather than their edge connector has proven to be a godsend many times (most people have a mini-usb cable lying around, nabbing the car's tom-tom cable for a quick charge for example). Makes no sense to me for them to go back to edge connector, insane.]]>Apr 14th 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Honestly, this is the best reply I've ever seen in Engadget.]]>Feb 16th 2009 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/I bought a G900 too, and a few months later, UIQ gets killed :(]]>Feb 15th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/Feb 15th 2009 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/

Even the X1 , when it was first showed as a tease, more than a year before the final catastrophe made it to the market, looked impressive; SE qickly managed to burn out all the goodwill the device had accumulated by producing what the scandinavian press almost unanimously (when unbiased) defined "The worst Win Mob device on the market at the moment and probably ever".
I really, really hope to be wrong; in the late 1980' I bought 2 Erikkson mobiles, which at the time where top notch, highly desired, devices, if SE manages to deliver something like this and whitout major flaws (like the ones afflicting the X1) I may even be tempted to give it a chance.]]>Feb 15th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/sony-ericsson-idou-first-eyes-on/
