I'm still waiting for their 2003 line of phones to show up in the US. I've been waiting for the T630 or Z600 or Z200 for many months. I finally got the T610 which is outdated, but only because Motorola couldn't deliver on the V600.
I'll believe Q2 or whatever when I see it.
I dont think any of that is SE's fault. It was the carriers choose not to adopt them. IMO Cingular and ATTWS didnt adopt because non of those 3 have 850 GSM band, and I think they are starting to make 850 an madatory feature on phones. and since USA's...

T637 + K700!!!
😁 And I was all excited for the T637 finally coming to America. I guess I i'll be getting the K700 instead. Sony makes the sweetest phones! Come Cingular don't let me down!!! GET ME THESE PHONES NOW!!
K700 is smokin hot. Best lookin mobile in my opinion and smart too. Though i also like the S700 as you can have 1.3MP pictures with that phone. Wow this is really great. Now i have to wait though till next quarter to get my hands on one of these g...

I really like what i have seen of this phone. And there is 3DJava! Saw a demo of a tennis game and it looked awesome and i hate tennis. Go to sonyericsson's website and it has a whole flash presentation of this phone.
