Woah! They are really catching up to Digicams.
Megapixels arent a very good indicator of quality, but 8mp from SE should be damn good.

it will be great if it sports 16 million colors display.....and 3.5 mm jack......then it sure rock the market segment in all aspects....

one simple question is that why dont the SE people are still sitting with 262k color screen.....they should pack lcd screens that are used in SONY cybershot digital cameras....it should be well enough to beat all the rivals....leaving others to dust......

Price could be set to $700 unlocked in USA

It will definitely be much more cheaper in India.

Sub-22k price should be perfect keeping in mind K850i

It does not have optical zoom.
the Shiho aka the C905 comes with a censor with a focal length of 5.91 and supposedly carries an Exmor sensor as used in the mobile phones in Japan and Sony DSLRs..Has multiple face recognition and can lock upto 5 faces at once.
Has a new feature called smart contrast.Works more like photofix..but this one would keep turned on when the pic is being taken such that the color saturation increases.

If properly taken, the pics will be breathtakingly clear. Afterall, its 8mp. :)

actually its a prototype with alpha firmware...the phone has not been announced yet..and the exif data says that the pics were taken 3 months back..am sure with the exmor sensor SE will hit back..but the details at full resolution are really good..the number plates of all the cars can be seen pretty clearly..

The samsung one is crap...who would want a phone with a lens coming out...

The C905 will cost around 23k...my next phone.. :D .. in the meantime will get the G900 and dispose of my k850

This is surely the beginning of the things to come. Hey SE do something on the Walkmans and make people forget things like Xpress music etc.. :cool:

Not a big -ve as SE phones are the *smartest* amongst the java powered.:)
