The hardware is the same as the Kurara, but i'm sure SE will make a greater effort to fix bugs and introduce new firmwares regularly.]]>Nov 19th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Same internal specs as Satio, and mine doesn't fly...

Probably not. What I find surprising, is that the cost is more expensive than the Satio... It has the same processor as the ones you mentioned along with the Satio. My guess is because of the AMOLED...]]>Nov 19th 2009 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/I think it would be great to see more Symbian devices, especially Symbian^3 which - according to the roadmap - seems to come with new exciting features, regardless the move to Qt in Symbian^4. ]]>Nov 20th 2009 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/

Nothing new here, unless it actually delivers what it promises (HD Video recording WITHOUT frame loss and audio quality issues), UNLIKE the i8910 -- even with the latest firmware updates, the i8910 fails at HD video. By the way, if this has the OMAP3430 like the satio, and i8910, how the hell can it do 720p video?

Look on TI's site, it mentions D1 video at 30fps, nowhere does it mention 720p, which makes me think this (and the i8910) is hacked together 3rd rate HD recording code, hence the high frame loss and jitters.]]>Nov 19th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 19th 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/but i wish for maemo 5..

S60 is just the default user interface for Symbian^2, which is the underlying operating system. S60 as a platform may be showing its age, but Symbian has a long life ahead of it if the group would just get on the ball and publish something new and exciting.]]>Nov 19th 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/sony-ericsson-kurara-has-speedy-cortex-a8-powervr-purring-insid/Nov 20th 2009 4:12PM
