Could this be Sony Ericsson's "Sophia"?

Yay ... more über-blurry goodness from some cameraphone wielding person out in the world. While we always enjoy a peek into the future of mobile devices -- it pains us that said pics are always out of focus and taken in dark rooms; aren't spy-types supposed to be hooked up with cool James Bond-like gadgets? Sophia is touted as having a 5 MP camera, HSDPA, and maybe even WiFi. Of course all of this is pure speculation - we may learn more between now and CeBIT -- or not. We will leave it all up to your imagination at this point, though all signs seem to point to a very strong not likely. As per usual, if you have a ~~believable~~ better pic, please send it in.

Again with the stupid keypad from the W880. Wtf is wrong with the standard keys like on the W810i, they worked well...this is just intentional horrible ergonomics.

Elias have you even used the keypad from the W800? all of the people who have actually gotten their hands on one said the keypad is amazing.

@ jabar
On the other hand....
"CNET.co.uk judgement:

The W880i looks fantastic and is so slim you'll barely notice it in your pocket. It comes with a 1GB card that lets you store about 240 of your favourite songs and a music player that sounds great. Unfortunately, it features a tiny and very fiddly navigation key and very small keys on the keypad, which make using it very frustrating."

I've also heard more than a few reviews complaining about the keypad.

Of course it isn't an iPhone . . . If this "Sophia" really does have a 5 megapixel camera, I'd gladly buy it over the iPhone (which only has 2 megapixels).

the keypads are still dependent with how enormous your freaking fingers are! I didn't had any problems typing! Funny, SE keeps on making bar phones while Nokia is seriously experimenting with different forms unlike in the past where nokia ruled the bar and SE made lots of flips. SE should try producing slides and flips that are seriously great and that has big wide screens with 240x320 resolutions!!!!!!!
