K800i - the cell phone of year 2006?

After the success of K750i, Sony Ericsson seems to think about its successor.

K800i's technical performances are truly amazing. A huge 466MB of internal memory, the 3.2 MP camera, QVGA (240x320) LCD screen, Bluetooth 2.0 and EDGE/UMTS support make K800i a true high tech cell phone. The first pictures of the K750i's successor leaked last week and showed the new device called Wilma. It is clear from these pictures that K800i will support a complete change of user interface. The complete menu (a line with icons) shows the similarities to P990i.

This proves that Sony Ericsson will close the disparity between Symbian UI and standard JAVA phone user interface.

As a rumor, the size of the new cell phone will be quite the same as the old K750i. Like W810i, K800i uses the same new central key, and the differences between the two phones are the camera (2.0 MP W810i, 3.2 MP K800i), and the lack of front camera and video-telephony from W810i.

The device will be available most likely at the end of the year. Real time date and sale price are not yet known. Looks like 2006 will be a good year for Sony Ericsson fans.
