It will be running something *based* on S60 5th Edition, at least. Nobody would say at this point other than it will be running on the first version of the official Symbian Foundation OS.
Well, they are different. Though the trend is towards capacitive screens, resistive screens are much more accurate. Some companies are working on hybrid screens that use capacitive's light touches and sweeps for navigation, while relying on underlying resistive tech for accuracy.
Which led us to asking, repeatedly, why this isn't an Xperia device. It's been a year, and the X1 is still the only member of what was said to be a family of devices.
i feel exactly the same as you do. Depending on the battery life though, i may carry an ipod in my other pocket. I do hope this phone comes out soon. Was thinking about the tocco ultra, but i will prolly go with this one.
hey Michael. What are your thoughts on the resistive vs capacitive argument? Does resistive have any advantages in this day and age? it seems like we, as the society (me including), link high quality device with capacitive while low quality device= resistive. I mean, you can't deny, even though it's not the most functional phone, the iphone is built pretty nicely. And thats coming from a former 5 time user. On the Bold right now, and the build quality is meh at best.
it will not cost more than xperia as in one of the interviews the guy frm the company said that they want this product range to fit between xperia and the low end models(the ones that are only walkman or cybershot type)
damn people understand this is just a prototype and the retail version might come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and if it doesnt come with a built in jack there will be an adapter that comes with it if you knoe wat im talking about
i am comparing this phone to motorola zn5 i know its only 5 mega pixel but its from kodak so i am little bit confused which one i should buy... so please guys suggest me .....
This has little to do with what Americans think. I don't expect to see it released in the U.S. Our carriers, quite frankly, are not very interested in Symbian OS/S60 devices. As to the resistive screen, I've had a few dozen of them and have never seen one damaged. A capacitive screen is more likely going to crack than a resistive one. Both types can get scratched, but the fact that the resistive has give means it won't crack. Not saying I wouldn't rather capacitive, because I would.
I really like this phone, however, I hope that it's performance is as good, if not better than the current Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.. Judging on this vid, it looks a bit slow- hopefully it won't be like that when it's out..
the only thing that i see working is the photos sliding, all the others ar to slow and i dont see a GPS in the menu . and menny things more. sony ericsson on the old phons had a time and date on the photos thay took that off now on all the new phons , and the new phons dont have video calling. the cam is not in front.
dude were near to july man its like 6 months from this preview video, they havn't released it anywhere. WTF sony u better release it or i'm gona buy something else like iPhone 3G S or HTC TD2. Release the god damn phone.
ive heard this phone will come with a stylus - if it does it will ruin everything because this is such a good phone and i really wanna buy it i hope they dont put a stylus
Hmm, They had to release an update days after the Iphone came out, just to get the 3g technology. and it has a 2mp. camera, nothing to brag about. The Iphone is a real flop over in Japan, because, it dosen't really have anything new when you think about it¸ only the gimmyck touch screen. Now The Idou, this looks like the next gen type of phone for me!! Danm me for living in Canada!have to wait a full year to get it
wth? dont u guys think its kinda stupid making a quick preview about a full TS phone which has a 12 mp camera then not showing what the camera looks like? i think its 1 of the main reasons why this phone got this "ultimate media phone" title..
LOL ME TOO! i love this phone. atm my k850i (fully modded) contract ends in 2 months. But Idou wont be released until october :( So i gta wait, but worth it
people~~! its not out yet, there still workn on it so thats why it''s so slow and why they didn''t show how the camera this phone will be in store late 2009 ( in the 2 half 2009..they say) Writt'n by, Ricoo0o XD
you should better wait for the phone, than, you will get a better software. (So I hope better then the K 850i software. My K 850i takes a time sometimes to make a reset. Damn thing.)
yeah ur right! nobody likes stylus! and 1 more thing it doesnt have a multi touch... and i havent actually heard that it has accelerometer! but camera is nice tho
x2 =D biggest drawback IT NEEDS A 3.5MM JACK !!!!!!! i hate SE fast port and their adaptor, so troublesome ! was a lover of SE phones, but their fast port really ticks me off.
this phone goes beyond the iphone in almost every category the only thing i like of the iphone is the app store and many downloadable apps not to mention the amazing touchscreen other than that i hate the iphone and cant use it

Awesome!!! This mobile rocks!! I'll buy it when it will be sold in France!!!
Which led us to asking, repeatedly, why this isn't an Xperia device. It's been a year, and the X1 is still the only member of what was said to be a family of devices.
In 5 days I'll maby get to buy this phone :D I'm looking forward to it a lot beacuse I love Satio
i feel exactly the same as you do. Depending on the battery life though, i may carry an ipod in my other pocket. I do hope this phone comes out soon.
Was thinking about the tocco ultra, but i will prolly go with this one.
The idou is great, I'm surely buying one
i love sony ericsson ^^) Remains the best in the world sony ericsson it is technology GO!! GO!! To the future. ( I am chamsi from Algeria )

one of a few phone that i get excited about.
it will not cost more than xperia as in one of the interviews the guy frm the company said that they want this product range to fit between xperia and the low end models(the ones that are only walkman or cybershot type)
I'm talking about the main menu, which is what m2uk550 was talking about.
since this runs on symbian OS, does the mean that the menu won't be a flash menu?
oh just after finding this phone but the samsung omina hd or this phone what would be best advised to get.
did u guess the price or is that how much it's actually going to cost?
i have a Questions ,,,
who is better , Sony Idou Or Xperia ???
is the video files of that phone is clear???? cause in may iphone its very clear
where can i get this phone my previous experience with sony ericsson is flawless
@alleermed are you from norway?
woah that's still hella just for that phone, when the iphone came out it was around 600 right?
is it compatible with 3.5 mm headset jack?
damn people understand this is just a prototype and the retail version might come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and if it doesnt come with a built in jack there will be an adapter that comes with it if you knoe wat im talking about
ok or does there come one with it?
how many MP for the camera?
looks pretty good.v responsive although its only partially functional
WHEN ISIT OUT WORLDWIDE?
well i want even better quality than that, its a multi media phone so you should have the best audio possible right?
I also wanted the Xperia... but now, looking at the Idou.... damn... i think I'm in love with a machine.....
best cell phone ever . i really love it . its better than i phone and 5800 . just Idou
Is the screen capacitive
Hey I was wondering is this a global phone and how much would it cost and do you know if it compattible with verizon!!!!! Please help thanks!!!!!
nice thanks
3G??
and how much would i cost?
Bah, you're right, as long as you're happy with what you got, that's fine!
Thank you very much.
awesome!!! love this phone,, expected to come Q3 2009,, don't know the carrier
first day buy for me
im so waiting for this phone ..
Second half of the year, probably towards Christmas I imagine.
Can you use it as a phone also (lol), I have the c902 now and I love it but this phone looks awsome.
i am comparing this phone to motorola zn5
i know its only 5 mega pixel but its from kodak
so i am little bit confused which one i should buy...
so please guys suggest me .....

Anyone knows when this phone is going to be released in EU? Please reply :)
logically yes...
i have been using sony but not this one. you can do that with the usb port or with bluetooth if your pc has one
Damn! gotta have this!
I really like this phone, however, I hope that it's performance is as good, if not better than the current Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.. Judging on this vid, it looks a bit slow- hopefully it won't be like that when it's out..
no it was around 575
best mobile I ever seen .
you will need to get an adaptor for it
its not yet available in USA...
none of the american networks have it :(
yea gonna be awesome
the only thing that i see working is the photos sliding,
all the others ar to slow and i dont see a GPS in the menu . and menny things more. sony ericsson on the old phons had a time and date on the photos thay took that off now on all the new phons , and the new phons dont have video calling. the cam is not in front.
dude were near to july man its like 6 months from this preview video, they havn't released it anywhere. WTF sony u better release it or i'm gona buy something else like iPhone 3G S or HTC TD2. Release the god damn phone.
It's 12.
what really? en serio no te creo aun no han dicho que cantidad costara ese celular lo diran en noviembre.
3.5 mm ??????
ive heard this phone will come with a stylus - if it does it will ruin everything because this is such a good phone and i really wanna buy it
i hope they dont put a stylus
i heard that the X1 is reeely slow, which is y it's off my list (otherwise, it would have been number 1 on my list)
Hmm, They had to release an update days after the Iphone came out, just to get the 3g technology. and it has a 2mp. camera, nothing to brag about. The Iphone is a real flop over in Japan, because, it dosen't really have anything new when you think about it¸ only the gimmyck touch screen. Now The Idou, this looks like the next gen type of phone for me!! Danm me for living in Canada!have to wait a full year to get it
Pretty much the same as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
why you need that jack ,? just use the headphones that sony give you , they are just as good ,
i agree, this is much better then iphone
Yea. you're right especially when we think about iphone's ridiculous 2 mp camera
wth? dont u guys think its kinda stupid making a quick preview about a full TS phone which has a 12 mp camera then not showing what the camera looks like? i think its 1 of the main reasons why this phone got this "ultimate media phone" title..
GREAT Video for a great phone.
The price won't be great I think .... :'(
Price in my country is 430 Euros!
Hell yeah.
LOL ME TOO!
i love this phone. atm my k850i (fully modded) contract ends in 2 months. But Idou wont be released until october :(
So i gta wait, but worth it
i like it
Good phone-very good.
it seem kinda lag...
people~~!
its not out yet, there still workn on it
so thats why it''s so slow and why they didn''t show how the camera
this phone will be in store late 2009
( in the 2 half 2009..they say)
Writt'n by,
Ricoo0o XD
i want to buy this cell phonee
Surprisingly it is jst an lcd.
you should better wait for the phone, than, you will get a better software. (So I hope better then the K 850i software. My K 850i takes a time sometimes to make a reset. Damn thing.)
no its noot
im a SE fan but... its not as sensible as iphone`s screen :(
None so far.
yh...so unlike sony ericsson
but im sure its customizable, like all sony ericssons.
yeah ur right! nobody likes stylus! and 1 more thing it doesnt have a multi touch... and i havent actually heard that it has accelerometer! but camera is nice tho
x2 =D
biggest drawback
IT NEEDS A 3.5MM JACK !!!!!!!
i hate SE fast port and their adaptor, so troublesome !
was a lover of SE phones, but their fast port really ticks me off.
i like this one
similar to symbian nokia
want to buy :D
ohh dude!! same problem is mine ^^
better than x1
wow the touchscreen looks responsive compared 2 samsung n other fones
dude that phone will cost a fortune man, more than iphone and xperia :|
are you sure?????
the nokia looks so ordinary...
this one looks packed with features
it could be the iphone killer
i prefer this to the iphone
this phone goes beyond the iphone in almost every category the only thing i like of the iphone is the app store and many downloadable apps not to mention the amazing touchscreen other than that i hate the iphone and cant use it
end of 2009
I know this is a awsome and a great phone but i like the w995 better.
word.
I think that this phone is not better than iPhone 3G
lol no matter what you say this will never outsell the iPhone
Notice how the guy has long finger nails and is only touching it with his finger nails.
not that great looking main menu . but i will buy it
adding tax and all those it's estimated to be around 600 , well in my city xD
same here. this is my first winmo phone and i dont like it.
same :P
same to nokia..s60..
*chuckle
OMG best cell phone ever (12 megapixels). That can surely challenge iphone
Look at his thumb.
