Of course there is no way in hell I could ever afford one, but the Roland MV-800 looks very nice indeed.
Folks have gone on about the Akai MPC for ages. A staple in Hip Hop production &c. Seems Roland want to have a go at making a box that does the same. I’m wondering what the price will be when it comes out. Probably enough to make my eyes pop.
Now, the Sony Ericsson P800 is a damn nice looking phone. I would dearly love to have one if I could afford it. But for those of us wanting a P800, it may be worth waiting for the new P810. You can see some pictures of it here.
Looks a bit more polished. More tecky and not so plastic. For one thing, the flip-down keyboard appears to be non-removable, unlike the p800’s, which makes it appear more solid. I reserve judgement until I have seen one for myself.
What I’m really interested in, is what changes have they made in the software? Is it using an updated version of the UIQ interface? Another version of the Symbian?
I’m a bit of a nut for mobile phones. I was excited as all hell when I learnt that Three had launched a 3G service in Australia. Video phone calls, cameras, mobile net access! For a geek like me, what bliss.
Sometime in the future I’d consider moving from using a GSM phone (a Sony Ericsson T68i), to a 3G phone. The phones offered by Three are quite nice. Especially the NEC e808N. Qwerty keyboard is pretty slick, and makes alot of sense considering how rarely I actually dial with the keypad on my phone. I only use it to add items to my address book generally. Since SMS is shit-hot popular in Australia, a phone like that would go down well.
What I really want, is a Sony Ericsson Z1010. I’ve been really happy with my Sony Ericsson so far, so I have alot of confidence in buying another of thier phones. The Z1010 looks slick. Flip phones are just wicked fun. Dual cameras for video phone and happy snapping fun. Lovely. There are some nice big pictures of it here.
