Sony Ericsson announces the 8 megapixel W995 and the 12 megapixel Idou
Sony Ericsson had the first press conference of MWC 2009 and used that opportunity to announce the W995, previously known as the Hikaru. The W995 is an 8 megapixel slider with 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, 2.6″ QVGA scratch-resistant screen, 118MB built-in memory, A-GPS with Google Maps and Wayfinder Navigator pre-installed, Wi-Fi and full PlayStation 3 compatibility. The phone also supports Sony Ericsson’s new Media Go service which allows you to easily transfer music, videos, photos and podcasts between your mobile phone and computer. This handset will be available in Progressive Black, Cosmic Silver and Energetic Red in select markets starting at the end of Q1 2009.
Sony Ericsson also unveiled the 12 megapixel Symbian-based Idou. The Idou will feature a Xenon flash, large 3.5″ 16:9 touchscreen and will be capable of “full media consumption”. The Idou does not have a model name yet and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009. Hit the jump for the press photo of the Idou.
smh @ ihpsta
yawn? how about that shitty iphone? yea *yawn*
idou>>>
The iphone is a joke. Seriously, it has the same bland design as its predecessor albeit the back casing and size.
I’m sure their next iteration will use the same design cue *yawn* and the sheeple will get it because it says Apple and being pro-Apple is the cool thing right now.
The iphone has never impressed me in the slightest. Especially with the lack of copy and paste and dumbphones could easily complete the task and not having MMS on it on the get go was an insult for the price.
I hate to sound anti-SE but, will we actually see a true ‘a’ version of any of these anytime soon. By that I mean one that works with a US 3G frequency such as at&t or T-Mo. I mean if not who wants to run to a McDonald’s or wait ’til you get home to blog with a cell. That defeats the purpose. Might as well just use a digi-cam.
And will it be released anytime soon. Nokia and SE are starting to be like old fogies just waiting to be sent of to a retirement home. Slow releases on handsets, No SUPPORT in US, and high prices.
At least with the iPhone you can walk into any Apple store and easily get it looked at or replaced. That’s one thing all other pixelated and functionated manufacturers are missing. Good old customer service and support.
I bought an N95-3 and the support that I got was why don’t you buy the N95-4. I already bought the N95-3 are you gonna take it back? No! You just need to upgrade! Phone wasn’t a year old. I used to love some Nokia too. I’m not a fool for anyone by anymeans.
Kool phone,,, can any1 tell me which is da best in sound????? i mean with the loudspeaker…. the w995 or idou !!!!!!!!!!!
idou or w995 would be better if it’s a touch screen phone.
kindly notify me once idou was release here in the philippines. it would be higly apprecaited if the price is also included. thanks a lot!
