Nah that phone is unmistakably a SE K700: http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2004/image/se9march/k700/k700front.jpg ...that might explain the dual shock like joystick, maybe this is the PlayStation phone we were meant to get all those years ago?!]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/
Perhaps it would be best for their marketing dept to learn how to market better :D]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/Feb 8th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/
Maybe because touchscreens suck and offer up no feedback, nor are they accurate enough for delicate input. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/
And lets not forget that if you are touching the screen for input, that means you are blocking a large percentage of the screen surface itself. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/
Yeah, but for the most part, you're using the on screen keyboard, which you'd be blocking anyway if it were a physical one...

What you're saying (I don't totally disagree with your lack of physical feedback comment by the way) is that you'd rather have a smaller screen, and have it never blocked, than a screen twice the size and have it sometimes blocked (and when you're spending long periods of time looking at said screen.. you're going to be watching a video, or playing a game.. in the video circumstance you'd not have your hands on the side, and in the game, you'd be covering a small part of the screen, still allowing a larger image than on the hardware-keyboard biased variant..

People realise this, which is why the iPhone, and Android phones have been so successful.

And with a tremendous improvement on input pick-up on touch sensors these days (mostly thanks to capacitive..) there's little room to complain...

Yea your right, it's that too, it's a W810/K700 hybrid = top/bottom lol]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/Feb 8th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/peratechs-qtc-sensor-technology-headed-to-your-next-cellphone/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8504373.stm for a better idea of the actual phone...]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:15PM
