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.

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.

The Idou will never be able to compete with the iphone… in fact none of these lame ass phones at this convention can.

Its neither Vaporware nor a concept. Its a real phone (they did have some on hand look at phonearena).

The thing I want to know about the Idou is whether it’s a resistive or capacitive screen. That could make or break a phone like this.

Take it from me, the only fruit involved here is the dude that posted this nonsense.

wow, someone is still sore over from being dumped on V-day…its ok steve, its just a phone.

This site lets us in the latest developments of phones whether they are concepts or not. It is still news and this sounds like good news if and when it bears fruit.

This is garbage, bullshit faux-journalism. SE did not unveil Idou — they launched some vaporware and you should report it as such. Did you hold the phone and/or take one home with you to review? No. And yet you’re reporting as though the thing exists. Shame on you! It’s vaporware for now and you should say so.

But no, your corporate cock is raw from all of the corporate sucking. And so it goes. Boo, BGR! Boo!

Whoops … I should always be careful of my keying. You should ALWAYS include the info that the number of megapixels is completely meaningless next to the size of the sensor. The amount of noise generated totally renders pixel increases meaningless.

Now this is a phone I will be covering on the Moxie Mo Show podcast – it’s beautiful. Good for Sony Ericsson.
