SonyEriccson new mobiles

SonyEriccson has unvealed its new mobile phones: two so called Walkman phones and two Cybershot ones. I liked so much the last generation of SE mobiles, especially the K800i, the W850 and the W950, but this time I was a bit disappointed.
This looks like sort of a transition release; in other words: there's nothing really noticeable in these new phones.
Let's take a look at the new K810i (photo), and compare it to its ancestor, the K800i. What's really new in it, with the exception of the awful keypad?
Both have a 3.2 Mpx cybershot camera, and are quad-band GSM and UMTS phones.
The have the same heap, both support Memory Stick up to 1 GB, same browsing capabilities.
What about the Java ME programmer point of view?
This is the list of the supported JSRs:

• CLDC 1.1 (JSR 139)
• MIDP 2.0 (JSR 118)
• Wireless Messaging 1.0 and 2.0 API's (JSR 120/205)
• Mobile Media API (JSR 135)
• Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JSR 185)
• Java API for Bluetooth™ (JSR 82)
• PDA Optional Packages for J2ME Platform (JSR 75)
• Web Services (JSR 172)
• Advanced Multimedia Supplements (JSR 234) (camera capabilities)

Mobile Java 3D

• Mascot Capsule Micro3D Version 3
• Mobile 3D Graphics API for Java ME (JSR 184)

Same as the "old" K800i.

If you'll read carefully the available specifications you'll find out that K810i supports WMV, while K800 doesn't. Nothing noticeable.

The only useful new feature in K810 is the POP and IMAP client, which can be useful sometimes, anyway it's too little to justify a new model.

If you're interested in buying a new SE phone, take a look and the Q3 2006 models before doing it, you may realize that you can spend less money, get the same features, and be satified to avoid the latest "marketing trap" models.
