  • Everyweek i am asking SE showroom and they say not available or not come,or we have not heard about this model. In india mumbai when will be available,as sony must be in touch with their showrooms to guide them. I was surprised when they said there is no such phone.

  • tis phone got wifi or not?? and now in phone shop see is in wat price?

  • sony i have requested you plese use ccd senson in our mobile phones

  • sony dont care our costumers. I am true faan of sony ericsson. I like cybershot series sets.the color of this phone is simbel of love. 12mp camera gud. I am waiting for this fone for two months . Sony plese relese this phone in india . In our city there is no store of sonyericsson or no service center sony plese provide this

  • OMG. battery 870 mAh. ==

  • nice pink,lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i like it

  • is it available in india

  • dang 26m colors...... i'm sure nokia would be buying one,, dissassenble it and learn the technology to put it in their phones.... most the new tech's in mobiles r by sony ericsson like the optical zoom,face detection,mega bass.. and now the .flac playback too in zylo

  • oh: a good radio - tv - camera - big and beautifull screen -16gb memory....i am going to buy it.thanks SE but why the talk time is lower than other SE

  • In Japan , the CDMA network is sufficient for the net too . I should think CDMA and WiFi are the same standard there . Japan's technology is more or slightly more advanced then the rest of the world

  • ah. hope it will be released in the philippine market

  • Such great specs, yet how can Sony Ericsson not include the wifi option. ITS A SHAME!!!

  • what is its price and can u find it in kenya

  • i like it so much

  • awesome colour .......

  • hey its for Japanese market only :)

  • what an awesome phone!! anyone knows about the expected release in the philippines?!thanks

  • For Japanese market!!!?? T.T

  • the phone can be compared as the c905 and about the battery durability.... god save sony ericsson

  • cool colour :)

  • shoot! thought it has wifi! tsk!

  • Tell us about this phone...good or not? What about camira and speaker?

  • no WLAN ? but they put an Infrared port... who the hell need that ????

  • well i think the phone looks pretty but its kinda missing a few things that are important. hey the battery life just dont suit the phone period....

  • the 1ghz processor is OS for surfing net not for pictures

  • Ive bought k700i,P990i,W995 &X1 coming soon S003 go go SE the best of all

  • Great phone but lack wlan.....And also not listed in their official Malaysia website.

  • Similar to satio, but front look is not nice bz more button options, but having more features than satio.

  • beatifull

  • what is the POINT of a 12megapixel camera if you have NO XENON FLASH!!!! Does it even have basic Android?

  • any body know when its being released ?

  • i like it its nice the color is nice also do it have a wi-fi a free games because im looking for a phone that has a wi -fi but this one is fine and i like it

  • some how beatifull but if it where with a differant colors the rose is so silly and wouldn't suit every one

  • 26M colors on this shit phone SE stupid

  • erm....maybe also

  • it's simply wow..

  • it's available now! i bought blue one from japan ,it doesn't have enough features but it's really beautiful and handsome, i love its skin and color

  • Standard battery, Li-Po 870 mAh????

  • I'll get this phone as soon as it's out cause i like the 26M TFT colour.

  • mobile is good

  • hope it will be available also in the philippines...

  • quite good! love the color..good cam

  • did you get the amount of s003 sony ericson?

  • is it a double card phone? :D wooooww....i think SE just want to made a gsm phone, not a cdma phone like this...

  • Who needs infra-red port Instead of Wi-Fi ??? SE is so stupid about that !! This phone will be a waste for money....

  • Is this phone double side speaker????? pls any 1 reply

  • omg phone is looking great! black and white looks amazing!!! when this phone be able in Europe? :) sorry for my english

  • I think I want buy this phone...but where can I get and get the top discount...more important,I want colour pink

  • LOL its best my c905 whit the xenon falsh

  • i wanna ask..if this fone is good efficient...and does it just work in japan...!!

  • S E going Back day by day , they are fools, who will by this phone with out WiFi? throw it wase bin,

  • good features are this phone and good colour

  • I agree, should have had wifi

  • Here is specification of Sony Ericsson S003 from au by KDDI, the cellphone operator who launched this phone : You will see that the actual color depth of screen display is approximately 260,000 colors.

  • The depth color is not 26 million colors, but it's 262,144 colors.

  • i dont even know when the hell this handset will be luanhed

  • very cool, got the pink 1

  • why this phone dont have wifi one?

  • is this phone going to be on sale in uk if so when thanks

  • This phone is waterproof!!! That's amazing!!

  • All features are good but the only thing which making us worry is 3G option is setup for CDMA only... But it would be BEST if it's for GSM. And the other is, Max. High end mobile are coming with 16 to 32 GB expandable memory or atleast 4 or 8 GB internal memories.. For this kind of model i expect 32GB as the expandable memory to Survive the competition in the market...

  • wonderful!!!!!!!

  • awsome phone cant wait for release

  • Do you even know what you're talking about? Go learn some Japanese and read the comprehensive reviews, because it kicks the pants off any other SE phones released in the West.

  • as per camera: 12 MP, 4000x3000 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash?. Its not really good to have that phone for just an LED FLASH. WORST PHONE. Good to have SE C901 much worth it. Big failures Sony Ericson if you will released this phone for unreasonable price.

  • actually this phone uses plasma led flash which is 48 times more powerful than normal led....and can me be comparable to xenon flash.....

  • This is my first time setting sights on this phone. It's sucha beauty! But heard that only Japan has it.. But guess it should be able to import to all countries. Does anyone know the price-wise? It seems like a gr8 phone to me with awesome colours too !

  • I like the phone very much. And waiting ths phone with great interest realy

  • is there any were in england that you can purchase this phone ? please someone tell me ! much love xx

  • i luv tthis phone

  • this has been out in japan for over a year

  • if this phone will be release in India it will be come in black and white.

  • why S003 no wifi, it's more better if got wifi.

  • really nice!!!!_i really love it!!! but i dont know if how much is dis phone...

  • Hello, Can anyone tell me if this phone will be release in the UK and wether it'll come in other colours. I am due to upgrade 2 of my phones but will wait if this will be released. I would like it in black or white. Thanks

  • wow so cool but i wish i had money to buy .

  • I would purchase this beautiful handset if it were available in europe. it's a worthy replacement for my W995. I personally do not care for wifi on this phone i've never used mine on the W995. deliver it to us Sonyericsson even if it's a limited edition phone. also Sonyericsson we want watchphones, team up with Nixon or Freestyle watches.

  • I read no wifi?? That sucks the phone is not as good as I thought!

  • This phone would be very cool with a 3.5 jack, and I realy like that it has 1Ghz chip.

  • if this had a qwerty keyboard i would be the first to buy it lol :P

  • also i want 2 know it's colours .. and which is better ? this phone or aino ?

  • helloo .. i want 2 buy this phone .. is it gud ?? and i want 2 know the prise .. please

  • Is it true??

  • I heard this phone is waterproof. Lol

  • This is perfect! The 26M olors, the highest pixels w/ keypads... ah, i got u this year, promise!

  • req to chg the colour

  • woukd be a better mobile if has a wireless lan option in it,but it lacks it that is why I don't buy it.

  • nice color.. but no wlan.. ):

  • From what I read about this phone : > Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot(TM) Keitai S003 is actually 3G handset, but it uses CDMA 1X WIN (CDMA2000 1X EV-DO Rev.A) network, not UMTS or HSPA. CDMA 1X WIN is a brand service of au by KDDI. For global roaming, it features GLOBAL PASSPORT service (GSM & CDMA). Nor GPRS and EDGE are supported. > The depth color of this screen is 262,144 colors, not 26 Million colors. It uses TFT display, compared to the previous model S001 where it uses AMOLED display. > About flash, it's true that it uses Dual LED PLASMA(TM) Flash, which 48x more powerful compared to ordinary LED flash & with maximum distance about 9 m (if set to High Sensitivity Mode Configuration), as they mentioned it. > For CPU, it doesn't mentioned in their official site that it uses Qualcomm Snapdragon. Based on Wikipedia Japan, it uses ARM11 & ARM9 (if used as modem). > For OS, it uses KCP+ (KDDI Common Platform+), developed from Qualcomm's REX OS and newly KDDI platform. > For battery, it uses Lithium Ion 870 mAh, not Lithium Polymer 870 mAh. Many Japanese mobile-phones uses Lithium Ion battery for energy, based on what I read, even for hi-end models. I don't know the reason why they uses Li-Ion type.

  • Hello GsmArena! Operating System, please! No wi-fi:(

  • this phone is okay

  • wat OS? Android or wm?

  • i am from SA too & would also love to have this :-(... wish there was a way

  • wifi please...... :) a phone that is close to perfection. :)

  • i really really really want this phone! but i stay in South africa, will it ever come here? is there a way that we could send the phone here? contact a shop in japan and get it sent here? plzz someone help me!!!!

  • I really like this phone.please send it to south africa.my sister really want this phone.

  • Thks i thinking to change to iphone..

  • Wer to get tiz hp in malaysia??? it looks cooll

  • This phone is 90% perfect. The only problem is that it hasn`t Wi-Fi, don`t record HD videos, and the biggest problem (I think) is that it hasn˙t Xenon flash, it has dual-LED.. With these 3 things it would be the best piece of technology!!! Ofcourse, if it`s worldwide :D

  • i realy liked this phone

  • i realy liked this phone

  • very good phone

  • I also want this phone. The design is good though i prefer an orange or a white or a red one. The color of lcd is one of a kind. 26m color! And the pixel resolution is the same as most touch phones. But there is one question i've been dying to ask. What OS is this phone using? The availability of third party application is a big thing for me. If it does not have any platform, How am i able to install platform based applications. Java isn't enough. But if it will satisfy my needs, i might not search for any third party extensions. I doubt that. I'm a smartphone freak. Eitherways i have a feeling that i would continue to like it. Maybe use it as a regular phone for calls and sms. And a music player. I am still hoping for its release outside japan. Like here in the philippines. Will it ever be? :( If not, sony, please make more slider or flip phones like this one and bravia, i'm a fan of these types.

  • 3G network - CDMA Is that a big deal, because most are UMTS!

  • why this phone dont have wi_fi give justice to this wonderful handset-alaric james hilario

  • Why is it only available in Japan.........Why don't it come to my country i've been waiting for such a phone.

  • my auntie have this phone in japan and i ask to have one but i is possible to use it in the philippines i wish it is applicable-alaric

  • omg... this phone would be close to perfection imagine 12mp cybershot... but then it was set to a limitation... it doesn't have wifi... and worst it will be available to JAPAN only... I hope sony would bring it around the world esp here in the Phil...

  • This is CDMA device. Sony ericsson should bring this device with same specifications in GSM as well.

  • Why would SE bring this wonderful device only to Japan? This is discriminatory, in my view! There should be a law against such discriminations!

  • Pls, pls i have been waiting for this phone since my contract ended with singtel now you are telling me this phone is available in japan only. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII reallYYYYYYYYYYYY want to cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... PLS make it available worldwide......plspls.....

  • This phone looks gorgeous and I realy wanted it but then I found out it's only coming out in Japan, which is devastating. As far as I can see this will be the best non touch screen phone on the market, esp cos of the large 3.2 inch screen and the awsome 12 mp camera. There are plenty of people that don't like touch screen phones and/or can't use touch screen phone, so I reckon there would be quite a large market for this phone and that probably quite alot of people in the UK would want this phone, so I realy can not understand y sony ericsson would not be bringing this phone out in Europe!? Sony please bring this phone to the UK!! P.s. You should put track id on cos that is an awsome app. Lol.

  • Why have all those good phones gone to Japan? Sony Ericsson should have these phones go world wide! I live in the United States and i want this phone... Japan has already got all the Sharp phones to itself and now their hogging the Sony Ericssons too!!! sigh~~

  • SE, please hear what's people want.. we want this phone sells not only in Japan, but also around the world!!

  • Hi Koss.. dont feel to bad man.. Im am a South African & 1/2 these great fones dnt even it us... Njoy ur day

  • Why sony ericsson don't came to europe to other great phones.. like these :(.. :( only for japan :(. I wished i lived there :(

  • I Guess this phone will be lame It's great to finally have 12MP camera from Cyber-Shot not like the satio but no HD video record and no flash xenon?? that's mean and the battery is baaaad only 4:30 hours talk time come even the K800 can beat that and why the hell there is a new phone without WLAN?? i guess it's pretty important for most of us I gusse the software isn't a problem that it's not symbian or android i guess it'll be like the k800 soft ware or the c905 I love this software simple fast no virus no bugs it's better than the symbian and I hope the sound will be a little bit louder on the speakers than K800&C905 i'm not saying i want the loudest and purest sound ever but just a little bit louder than the previous cyber-shot mobiles

  • hey..y juz sel it at japanese market? so dsapoint!!!

  • launch it soon yar

  • Only got pink colour ar??To pink...

  • wau.., wau 12mp+1ghz+tv tuner=perfect phones averrrrr,,,

  • we want good phones too. who doesn't let sony to sell this good products in whole world?

  • Why only for japannes market????? :(

  • close to perfection but its a crime for a phone like this that has no-WIFI? why oh why sony, why no wifi?

  • where is Wİ-Fİİİ&­#304;İİİ sonyericsson will continue to lose his customers... SE every time makes one thing lack. if they would put wi-fi then they would make camera without autofocus... hereafter I go for any other brand.

  • it's a awesome set. i like it soo much:*

  • lovely!! :))

  • hi is there anybody who can help me to buy this s003 from dubai?

  • mind blowing phone!! if sony ericsson will launch this phone on the market, this phones will make up all of sony ericsson's loses, this is exactly the kind of phones that we,, sony fans are waiting for,, because we believe that sony ericsson dont compete on the market with samsung, lg, and ,, Nokia,, sony are the benchmark,, then others just follows,, so pls,, sony,, launch this phones worlwide and set again the bar and let others follow, this is the phone the world craves for,, and show the world what SONY is all about

  • can i use this in Philippines?? i need a feedback on my question... please....

  • why this coolest phone only for Japan's(with due all respect on Japan) domestic use.....we want to use this phone....:)

  • Am i wrong? or do you need a 1GHz processor for a camera phone? unless it's to process the pictures...let me know. but it seem unnecessary

  • why this fon doesn't have WLAN ?

  • Pretty fail phone ... but you can use it as a dildo on slide

  • one of the best phone i have ever used..

  • This phone was released in Japan for au by kddi. Its a Cybershot phone and waterproof. This phone is very cool. I got Sony Ericsson's premier3 (manufactured on for Japan) which was released a year earlier.

  • What Were U Thinking Sony Ericsson When U Made Dis Fone?????????

  • WLAN is not Not Added a new generation require use wifi mobile design is good and more value for mobile is necessary wifi.I hope for development you do better next time.

  • its design is best color is grt

  • again the design is so china-ishhhh......

  • the phone is pink. and for japan only. go away

  • can some one tell me when is phone come out ?is will be how much ? thankyou!!

  • weak battery life.. get Satio instead.. :)

  • I can say that maybe this phone will work fine in the philippines cause i think Phil. and Japan got same telecom or whatever they are calling that :)

  • does S003 work also in Philippines?

  • it says for japanese market. Does that mean it will only be available in japan or will it come to other countries later????

  • soo1 and soo3 both of them has 26m color display according by SE japan websire

  • that 26m color should be a typo. that's 16m colors

  • it is sooo beautifffful i wannnn to buuuy soooo muccch

  • lol I also want this phone in Malaysia, but it doesn't have wifi. I'm impressed with 26m colour.

  • wow 26m colors

  • This phone is good but lacking of WIFI with this kind of unit is a bad decision. a High end phone like this should be complete. With good price need to have complete Specification like the W995.

  • Why For Japanese market only? How about Malaysia? The BRAVIA S004 also!!

  • this phone is 150+weight so heavy is it bec it hav a tv tuner . Tv tuner for ?

  • It says for japanese market only on the top lol

  • Status Coming soon. Exp. release 2010, 3Q !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! read the specs, dude!!!!!!

  • cool phon but satio is better it has no wifi and its java os and its pink come on satio still number 1 in my opinion

  • It looks like a c905 with a few modifications a a higher camera

  • does any1 no where i can buy this phone in the uk?

  • i love this fone,i don ever have mobile with 'Li_Po' battery type before this ,can anyone tell me 870mah Li _Po is enough?thanx

  • TFT, 26M colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!

  • only in Japan? i think it would cost a lot,,

  • The design is like a combination of X1 and C905. And also looked a bit like some of the sharp phones. Still a very cool phone though.

  • in most countries yes there are analog programs but in one town I'll doubt you'll find a lot more than ten of them

  • oh God, this is so crazy.. i love japanese phone.. if they arent limited. LOL

  • Probably not gonna be outside of Japan. But is it a regular thing to bring Japan only phone to S'pore? Just wondering. And S'pore can use the Mobile FeliCa too right?

  • BTW, wiki up FeliCa and 1seg to know what it is all about. 1seg -> Japan & some South America countries FeliCa -> Asian countries.

  • From my personal opinion and experience, with these spec: - 3G on CDMA - TV tuner (pretty sure it's the 1seg tuner) - "Mobile FeliCa" payment system (strong indicator) it is strongly promoting itself as a Japan only phone. Most non-Japanese people who studied or worked there will agree on this.

  • no. nobody broadcast on analog signal anymore dude.

  • i can't imagine se coming up with a phone of this magnitude without wlan.

  • It says that it has a TV tuner. Does this mean you can watch tv on it?

  • whats the difference between 26m colors and super amoled???

  • Nokia has made up N8 with 3.0 bluetooth standard,why this new coming soon S.E. model doesn't have at least the 2.1 standard?And...I hope it will be present on the market not only in this strong pink colour but also in black and/or silver...Good for S.E. that brought finally the MicroSD-s on their handsets,I was wondering when the hell it will happen...Promising CPU frequency for fast reactions and slow latencies,promising camera (does it supports HD video at 720p?...),but I have the impression that 3,5 mm audio jack is missing,too bad!At least hope that its ringtones sound loud...I am sure the display is good or maybe even fantastic-it has big size,26 Mcolors (finally an innovation brought by S.E.).But why S.E. doesn't want equip their top handsets with AMOLED displays?Cannot say TFT-s aren't good,but the AMOLEDS are unmatched at colour deepness,brightness and contrast...But who knows,maybe the new 26 M Colours will come in balance.Hardly waiting to see and try it!

  • SE is always making the same mistake,there is always some crucial element missing in their phones,they are continously losing market share, but what i can't understand is, so much loss and they are still bringing another phone with less than satisfying features! in this instance it's missing "Wifi" we are in the year 2010 nearly every 4th house hold in the industialized countries have wifi routers !!!

  • What is the "OP SYS" on this handset ? Feature wise it's very promising,the screen is specified as "26 million colours variety" screen & camera i'm expecting awesome quality & best in market from SE,they had started to fall back especially in the last 2 years !! Come on SonyEricsson

  • The thing i like the most is only the colour of set & after all sony is sony.

  • it has 26 m colors??? is it true???

  • downgrade more like it. no xenon. no wifi.

  • yo! i have this phone. im from japan thats why. but sorry to say, the picture you have there is an epic fail! the back part of that phone isnt like that. the front looks exactly the same. anyways, please do clear this up. thank you.

  • SE 2010-i strongly agree with your post

  • i love the color! :)

  • What's a 1Ghz snapdragon doing on a feature phone. This will probably the fastest phone in existence.

  • 26 million colors WTF ? not possible

  • No WLAN ????????? Why? I liked the C905 so much that I won't change it until I find something better, even it will take me years. Cybershot was very usefull for me and I,m looking for similar level of technology or higher.

  • How can IPX5/IPX7 be use only in Japan. The meaning of IPX5 is water resistant and IPX7 is waterproof so there's no reason you can't use that feature outside of Japan.

  • How can IPX5/IPX7 be use only in Japan. The meaning of IPX5 is water resistant and IPX7 is waterproof so there's no reason you can't use that feature outside of Japan.

  • really its waterproof hah??

  • the phone looks like an upgraded version of the C905:)

  • One more important thing, SE is the only company that makes real updates not upgrades and I'll tell you the difference!! When a company like htc or samsung make an upgrade let's say from andriod 1.6 to 2.1 they only upgrade the whole system and the people who did the job is google not htc or samsung. Get the Idea? But what's special in SE is that they have updates which means they add more things like games + themes + more features and apps. Also, they change the UI which gives you the feeling that you have a new mobile! And let's not forget the improvements of the sound and camera! That's why I love SE, because they really make a difference. It's not like copy/paste the os and ship the new one. No!! It's about being different and unique.

  • I think someone is spamming the polls, btw this phone reminds me of c905.

  • gads...such a horrible pink colour, kill it with fire quickly!!!!

  • it's waterproof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • er... surely processor and tasks performed will affect the battery life more than the size of the screen...?

  • ur rite

  • if you do get this one and use it outside of japan.. that might just frustrate you... notice some hardware keys there are for japanese oriented services...most features won't work on your country...e.g. Mobile FeliCa payment system, IPX5/IPX7 certified, etc.... maybe SE got sick of those people who can't appreciate them (look X10 thread) LOLOL...

  • Battery life looks attrocious ! for a 3.2 inch screen 270 hours is pathetic.

  • oh! Y dnt u mke it international? I thnk it wud b bettr to sell dat fone intrntnlly. And besides u can earn more than u earn b4. Ryt?

  • come on sony u r best

  • oh no.... japan again?!! why all monster phone goes to japan?! i want in indonesia market

  • Another beauty for the japs...! Why agen se why not international... Evrybody wil go crazy... i need to get a ticket for japan im getting this 1! 12mp plus 1ghz proceser an 22m screen this would out sell nokia an samsung an the rest...why sony why?

  • Man,they are on their way to sharp,its cheating,japan already got heavy phones,sony should launch it internationally.

  • anyone know video is full hd or 720p or regular?

  • Do you know guys, human eye can see upto 20 million colors, so this phone display is clearly better than 16M color display.. But extra 6M colors..??

  • 26 million colors.. Wow.. This should be on the homepage of Gsmarena.. Why they dont show this news..?

  • gr8 phone see the pics cybershot 12.1mp and also 1ghz snapdragon processor but whats the os so happy tht it can record hD videos :D

  • for japan only. pls read the review

  • Why is sony making phones with infrared again??

  • this is bigtime!!!!

  • Looks a well spec. phone, but what an awful colour, it looks like its be used at a gay pride day lol

  • 26M colors. They've invented another ten million colors.

  • wow monster phone again by SE 26million display color wow wtf!

  • check the specs this phone has TV tuner maybe its because of TV tuner

  • errrmm.. is it reaallyy 26m colours?

  • wonderful spec!! 26M TFT.. and large screen but ouch!! without wifi... it is very painful..

  • I believe this is a very good phone for people who don't like touch phones, but prefer a good phone with nice specs and a normal keypad. The screen would be good too. It has a 12MP camera and a good disign. I would buy it.

  • 26M colors is that real?

  • sony ericsson going to kill nokia

  • erm... it's WATERPROOF folks. waterproof.

  • hehehhe...damn sure...pretty sleepy design

  • For those who dont know.. -12mp Camera uses EXMOR sensor -It is a cyber shot phone -It got dual led "PLASMA" Flash *Plasma flash is 48 times brighter than ordinary flash. SO GUYS, it is basically CyberShot TX1 + Phone but not touchscreen. i believe it will be one of the most powerful camera phone today.

  • nice phone,but the battery is so weak

  • new SE phone with windows 7 will be announced in early q3

  • News flash people this is only for japan they dont even need 3g and all that stuff there.

  • Wanted for a New high end from SE in Europe. LikeN8. Vivaz Pro or X10 are not "new"for me. when an announce ?

  • Looks very cheap yuck!! color selection for body is bad 12mp camera no xenon flash no wifi Looks like RnD department of SE are addicted to alcohol!

  • the spec of tis phn nt bad.. luk good.. bt y no wi-fi? is tat SE forget to put d device in??

  • It has no xenon, but it has 'plazma flash' which is 48 times brighter.. Search the google..

  • Well I would say, certainly not the "best phone" in the Japanese market but "face detection continuously tracking" is cool (although not essential...). Wifi service is not really required in the Japanese market as the mobile 3G network is very solid there. Have to agree... no xenon flash? I think none of the manufacturers have come out with that in japan yet... I suppose, just to protect the digi-cam sector, namely Sony, Casio, Panasonic, Sanyo、Hitachi, which are all also phone manufacturers in Japan,,, I hope GSM would also introduce other Japan market phones here.. :)

  • hi mate tanx me 2 i hope ntt docomo inter in global market because they are best in mobile phone because they use from high quality sensor for camera and use very hight qualty display my w900 made in japan and it is awesome if ntt docomo inter in global mobile industry they will kill evrybody in global market

  • japanese best? how can a 12 mega pixels with out hd video or hd record. with 5 mp you do hd video record. no wifi, no open ms office

  • Hi Hamid! I am very happy that you posting comments on the Japanese phones too! They are the best! I follow the Japanese technology since 2007, and they are very advanced now!! The W44s is nothing, the new Bravia phone is much better than that old model, but that was their first dual open style phone. :) I really hope, that one day Ntt Docomo will enter in the global markets, Ntt Docomo is my favourite Japanese carrier, they are the biggest, and the BEST! :D

  • There is something wrong with the voting system here. This bad votes are obviously somehow generating automatically. GSMarena, fix this!

  • japan made best phone for him w44 is amazing phone i see in 2 years ago

  • I don't like the colour of course, but it would look good in black and silver! But seriously, 12mp feature phone? 3.2 inch non-touch screen? Infrared port? whoa... I would seriously get one if it WASN'T CDMA only! Why did SE not release a 3G version?!?

  • it was always like that even past SE Japan phones perform better than newest european and american phones

  • so many haters. I think it is nice!!!

  • looks like a c905 mutation

  • why the soni ericson is trying to kill their own company???

  • Is sony ericsson really gonna mad !! they juz making phones so good but only 4 japanese market n even it is CDMA real mess that sony ericsson is making?

  • Is it really a cybershot? wat's wrong? why xenon flash not included? wat a fool... How bout the video? was it hd? atleast not touch screen i hated touch scrin phones a lot i had a red satio not contented wid it's features... I thought sony ericsson learned from all the imperfections satio revealed??? My gosh sony ericsson...

  • both of s003 and s004 have snapdragon cpu related to SE japan website gsmarena please mention cpu too

  • TFT, 26M colors it have exllent display

  • There is something wrong with the voting system here. This bad votes are obviously somehow generating automatically. GSMarena, fix this!

  • Damnn No Wifi in 12mp phone???huh....Disappointment from Sony Ericsson!! did not like it cheap looking!!!

  • I think the 26M is a typo .It should be 16m coz 8 bit colour display ie 256 Progression 3(rgb),for 9 bit it should be 512 progression 3 ~133M

  • vote down

  • The battery is a shame...!no WLan either....!SE disappoints this time...

  • everything is ok except battery is bad.

  • nice voting rate 2.3 2.3 2.3

  • 26 Millions colors?

  • The lack of wifi can be related to the Japanese market. This phone is awesome! IPX7 certified! I want this badly!

  • umm any1 saw it was pink?

  • Good to know that gsmarena is including exclusive se japanese phones now. I kinda felt they were biased when they showed exclusive samsung korean phones.

  • so bad no wifi

  • 26M color in mobile phone is it possible ? I think this phone cost more than 35000 when come to market.

  • Waw great phone ...always fresh

  • 26 M colours.........what's the world coming to? top it with a 12 MP camera, n all other goodies, great job, but what on earth does sony ericsson wanna imply by lack of wifi, sounds crazy!!!

  • 26m colours.... Is it true?

  • wow

  • for JDM only , it is nothing special compare to the competitors in Japan domestic market .

  • 26 M

  • is it 26M or 16 M

  • only 4 japan.??? sh*t

  • whoa dats really nice.!!!!!

  • mama mia 3.2 inches nad battery 870mAh???????stupidity.

  • when SE was slept in 207 and 2008 and made low end phones and mid end phones the votes was between 8.5 and 9 because only SE fans vote to SE phones but now that SE is waken up and is making really good phones ,SE haters are waken up too and keep SE scores low because they know SE is becoming a dangerous company for them

  • This beats the hell out the aino - bigger MUCH higher res screen, far better camera, waterproof..and has such low grades?? What is this??

  • if it gets released here i would buy it. amazing specs, aside for the wlan

  • what's that with the voting results here??!!!!???? are you guys insane?? this will be the best feature phone on the market!!!

  • why wlan no ????? why no wifi ????? mad sony erisson, (( sometime why no video call vivaz sony ericsson )))

  • lol. This is only for JAPAN you noobs. -.-

  • lowest mark in this web

  • 118mm long slider, this is waaaaaay to long.....

  • Only for Japanese?? Hello? for me this could be a feature phone for sony ericsson, 12 mgpxl,26M screen,350MB, IPX5/IPX7 certified they should have launched it worldwide, cos sony ericsson satio looks sooooo business/camera centric, not like this it looks hand friendly

  • OH.. this is the Satio's brother... The base side looks almost identical to Satio instead it has buttons... I wish Satio was THIS thing running S60 3rd rather than touch 5th...

  • best phone in 2010 ? LOOOL thats just a piece of crap with 12 mega pixel cam lol

  • wow i con't belive this

  • looks like xperia with slide aphabetical keypad :/ but 12mp. wow. and what is that 26m colors? o.o impressive i need to hear about this phone more. looks good. it's pink!! lol
