A friend just sent me these pics. The phone looks good it has a touch screen interface and a 12.1 megapixel camera built in. However, Sony Ericsson needs to pull them selves together. There last couple of phones were garbage. I'll still be chillinz it with my iPhone 3G until something better comes out.

only if they incorporated the ps brand into this, i might have actually considered it(also depends on the service provider)

Yea, i'd definitely be more interested if they launched a psp phone with a camera like that and a touch screen for better music playing. And most of all better hardware quality! I would buy if the price was under $600 w/o contract.

I'm really not a fan of touch screen phones but this is sweeeeet!

I've got an Xperia the now, and yes, i know, it's touchscreen but it also has a keyboard!

Is the Xperia any good. I was looking at it and then never knew the release date and also heard it was bad.

This phone looks sweet. If it is a good price with a provider I like, I might just get it when I get some money. That camera is crazy.

Yeah it's brilliant!

I've had mine since November, no issues at all!

My only grip is the camera, 3.2mp, but i don't use a camera on a phone anyway!

It's the best phone i've ever had any i've had a few phones!

I got it free on Orange on £45.00 per month!

It's great!!!

There are already many, many better touch screen phones on the market.

Me too, in fact I currently own one at the moment. And as for that new sony ericsson phone, the camera is tank, 12.1mp would be the best that I know of on any phone.

I am tossing up between the Sony Ericsson W595 or the Samsung F490. Will probably go with the Samsung because of the superior camera and video.

i wouldn't go near another Samsung phone, i don't know anyone that hasn't had problems with their samsung!

i had the V200 and the D200, loved em both but Samsung have sort of got lazy with design!

Sony Ericsson all the way!

Don't even go near Nokia!

One question, does it use Windows Mobile? Looks like a custom Sony one though. Also depends on service provider + price of the phone.

I got the Sony Ericsson W595 mate and I'd recommend it if you can get it on a sweet deal because I did. I pay $19 instead of $29 a month on a $29 cap because of the summer promotions which were available. Anyways since it's a walkman phone the music is great, it also has pretty much all the functions you want any phone to have (eg. bluetooth, camera etc). But yeah, since you desire a better camera the Samsung may be the sweet spot for you.

I have had the N95 for around 2 years and haven't had a single problem with it. Chunky as hell, but still one of the best phones on that market. From what see and read the samsung phones are amongst the most reliable on the market.

Yeah the 595 looks really sweet, but the camera doesn't have a flash, otherwise I would be all over it. Music playing isn't big for me because I have a Sony MP3 already which is awesome, quality wise.

The Samsung I can get for $330. So at that price I might take the plunge.

It's looks great! And I love the fact that they dropped using slow as hell Windows Mobile for open sourced S60.

this phone looks sweet ... can't wait for my contract to end so i can get something new

[MrFenwick]

Looks great and the video I saw of them demo'ing the software was smooth as can be and it was pre-alpha. Nice phone.
