I like it!
thanks for this new pic
ps: Bider’s photoshop was very close.

Its difficult to tell about the colour of the keys, theyre too blurry. Its looking great though
April 9th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
…wow…from the side it looks like N95 :)….nice looking though
April 9th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
:O how can you say that!! This makes the N95 look like a phone booth, never mind a brick!!!
April 9th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I think, I expected a lot.
Keyboard is not strictly qwerty, it shd be called either rocker or half-qwerty, isn’t it ?
April 9th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
You do know that QWERY keyboards get their names due to the key layout, right? If you’ve got a European keyboard, there’s a large chance you’ll notice the letters Q, W, E, R, T, Y at the top left of your keyboard.
This is a full QWERTY keyboard, not half or whatever.
April 9th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
lol
April 9th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
wow! the screen looks big here!!
But the keys are blured
April 9th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
The Qwerty has invaded Europe, but a village still holds out against them. Its name? France! With its “proud” AZERTY keyboard. lol

Thank you, waiting for the picture of the back
April 9th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
It is difficult to tell whether the keys really black and white, or if it’s merely reflection.
Regardless, looks great.
April 9th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
here we can see that the keyboard is COMPLETELY black ((SO MUCH COOLER))
the white sides are reflected light, look closely at the area around the tumb….
this is the way i like it …. FULL BLACK.
also there is another pic here that confirms it

and thank you Mizzle for the pic…
screen looks amazing and definitly 2.8″
April 9th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
You’re right. Definitely a reflection. While the black/white thing wasn’t bad-looking, all black is definitely better.
Also, the screen in these latest shots looks gigantic! It’s puzzling why the others don’t–but doesn’t matter. Definitely 2.8″ and probably VGA.
April 9th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
yes kevin…
in the previous shots; the screen LOOKED smaller but the fact was somthing else:
have a look here: i did a little messurments.

Yup, I remember.
(I’m laurenke on Esato.)
Now your calculations have photographic evidence as well as mathematical evidence.
April 9th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Great, but if the screen isn’t VGA, they can forget about it. I get the impression that this is the view held by most other potential users.
April 9th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
wow….. i was surprised…
48 hours to the next pic from Mizzle
and hopefuly 1 week to the full video.
April 9th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Hopefully the video has a full spec-sheet at the end.
April 9th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Well, I would prefer double colour keyboard and it seems this kind of design also exists (at Esato forum under Rumours thread PeterKay confirms that).
Anyway, the keyboard disappoints me.
April 9th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I dont want it to be double colour! Itd make a business man look like a fool! Besides, itd just be confusing to look at.
April 9th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
when i first saw the n95, i said i wish they put a keyboard on to it to make it usefull–> i really hate typing using t9/numberpad.
this phone does it all for me, the d pad is what i wanted on my p1i, and it has a good key system,, i mean using the p1i keyboard proved to me that its simple and effective / saves space to make the device smaller.
again i like what i see, but i will miss the jog wheel
April 9th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
I agree with the all black keyboard.. Black & white combo isn’t very business looking, especially since the P5i is supposed to be a business phone…
But i like the screen, it definitely is a 2.8″ & i have to say that the call & end keys must be touch sensitive… & the navipad must be similar to the touchpad found in the X1… U agree?
April 9th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
There’s more and more noise on forums regarding this product…
And the lastest sentence from Easto claims that (quoted from Mobile-Review’s Eldar) it’s more of and mass-market, non highend device.
Is that possible? Are we talking about Pnext, SE flagship here??
April 9th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Michell: What do you say to the people now claiming Paris is some mid-end device? Personally, I don’t believe them because it’s you, m-one and ares I trust, but do you have anything to say to allay concerns? Maybe just a wink? ;-D
April 9th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Well, I was told that Paris will be an all-round high-ender.
There’ll be some more high-enders at the end of this year but that’ll be the first interesting one of the upcoming UIQ flagships. Besides this, a rocker keypad in this layout is never intended for mass market. It’s clearly an high-end business modell.
April 9th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
So they’re talking about another device assuming it’s Paris.
Makes sense to me.
Thanks!
April 9th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
m-one,
Uffff…
April 9th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
doministry, where did Eldar say that!?
April 9th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I’ve found another photos of the phone. http://uiqmania.cz/index.php?page=clanky&article=551
It’s from yesterday.
April 9th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
hey michell i was wondering do you guys have any idea what the resolution will be looking like? because after looking at that hard that looks like its greater then 320 x 240 :D…or maybe im wrong what’s your guess?
April 9th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
@Tigershark42
Well, check the vivid Esato Rumours thread
It’s quoted by one poster.
BTW X1 was advertised more like a media device, not business….
April 9th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
i think black/white buttons looks great. i hate the ’stereotype’ that a business phone has to be black and mainstream. as for the slider, i hope this doen’t make the phone too chunky.
April 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I bet the screen will not exceed 2.6″. there will only be improvements on contrast and brightness. just look at the progress p800->p900->p910->p990->p1 the screens got smaller! I think it will be 2.6 VGA
April 10th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
why do they put the fastport on th side of the phone? shure, looks cool but it is uncomterbale ( sorry for the spelling, i’m a swede
)
April 10th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I hope the screen is still not crappy QVGA 240×320…
May 9th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Numeric keypad is much better.
