Could we dare hope for the real thing?

Sony Ericsson might bring a bold and fresh phone concept for their Cybershot line of handsets. The Sony Ericsson CS1i model looks beautiful and also manages to pack a wide range of evolved performances, with a stress on the image and video capture ones.

It would most probably be a shame to leave this CS1i phone model at the concept level and not try to actually make it come true and give to the world to enjoy. There are few specifications known about this handset, as people at Sony Ericsson are still thinking of what they could cram in the slim case of this phone.

What we do know is that Sony Ericsson CS1i is meant to be part of the Cybershot line of phones coming from this company and one of the best ever made, actually. They promise it to have a 7 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom as to be able to compete with many evolved cameras.

The design is superb, with smooth, shiny surfaces and edgy corners and nothing rounded or curved. This makes it look elegant and manages to add a certain shine to the entire concept. Buttons have been reduced to the minimum, as the phone actually relies on a touchscreen for receiving commands from its user.

There is a display screen capable of a resolution of 320 x 416 pixels, one of the highest, which will double the phone's skill on the way it manages to handle images. In order to make this mobile phone concept a true success, there should also be a considerable memory space available for storing the high quality images that this phone is capable of.

The Sony Ericsson CS1i is still at the concept state. The phone's image has been recently published on a forum by its developer. Actually, Sony Ericsson has very little to do with the idea, unless they would like to apply it any time in the future.
