HelpAs some may already be aware both Paris and the G702, otherwise known by the codename BeiBei, have both been cancelled. Whilst this might not be news to some of you we have a new twist on the story that might be. There is the suggestion that both of these handsets were cancelled due to a large volume of criticism from reviewers and other industry watchers, including recent articles on Mobile-Review.com
The story doesn’t end there because we are hearing that whilst Paris and the G702 may have been cancelled in Europe, they might still make an appearance in Asia.
I think they should also cancel C905, and change its video capture quality XD

wow…kinda sad, but i think is fair, p5i is highly anticipated, but it turn out big let down, using old hardware, not so nice design….beibei also doesnt look nice, too much button, n its target market not so clear, coz SE already hv g700 n g900…nway, for me, mobile-review not biased…coz most of ppls (except those extreme SE fanboys) think p5i n beibei kinda bad…most of review also critised it…

Paris cancellation sounds wise to me. But please remove UIQ and some unnecessary keys from Beibei, add a bit more floral pattern, power it with A2 then release it in small volume as an emotional design phone. It will sell!

The general belief at esato seems to be “cancelled” is not the right word, rather that the p5i hardware was not impressive enough and so will be superceded by the newer hardware spec and released as p10i.

That’s partly correct. Paris has, however, been cancelled. The phone model will still be developed and released, though, just by a different codename. This is normal procedure after having changed major hardware parts, etc. I personally doubt it’ll be released as P10.

Hope the UPCOMING SE phones will feature VGA video recording or better ;D

I want SE to take UIQ away from symbian and use it for another platform. UIQ on linux or windows would be grate. Cant they do like HTC, change the interface, but still have the same platform as the other companies to ensure software support?

I don’t know why people think Beibei had too many keys. If you actually look at the phone, it has just as many as any other phone available. Sorry it just pisses me off when people obviously haven’t even paid attention to something, then they insult it.

If u think that paris will be released as P10 then why did they use the world “cancel?”

Didn’t I just say I doubt they’ll release it as P10? I think I did. Anyway, “Paris” (hardware) has been cancelled, but the phone itself (P1 successor / next smart phone flagship) is still in the works.

Good thing they dropped Paris.
But do they have new models in the pipeline that replaces Paris?
Xperia symbian ersion?

Hyped and non-announced several times it turned out to be mediocre, then non-announced again. And now it’s canceled. Wow. SE never fails to fail us. Probably sensible though.
Each product segment aspiring to be taken seriously must define a high end to establish confidence. For example, though most people won’t buy C905 it’ll probably boost sales of cheaper Cybershots, because it makes people confident in the product line.
If Paris would have had a top-notch sibling proving that the business part of SE Symbian are serious stuff, then – but only then – Paris could have been a standard-issue tool of the common collar worker, but on it’s own it’s just a dead end.
Look at the car market, where most brands with any self-esteem have some impossibly expensive top-of-the-line models almost nobody buys. In themselves these top models must be financial disasters. But they do work as sales tools for the lesser models.
Hence, once (if ever) SE gets a groundbreaking business Symbian out the door, then a refurbished Paris-type device could follow en suite, and find a market, but only then.

I’ve always been a fan of the P-series phones, so I am a little unhappy that the P5 has been cancelled. I realise that it’s underspecced and not very powerful but, from what I’ve seen, it has some potential: the OS has been improved and what the P1i was lacking is present in the p5 – 5mp camera, GPS, new media player, widgets – the things that I would have loved to have on my P1i. It could have made a descent phone for the transition from the current hardware to the next-gen hardware of, say, the iPhone. I guess I’ll stick with my P1i until 2009.
The features the P5 would have had are better than what the iPhone and many other rivals offer, although, yet again, the hardware’s low power does lower its capabilities. S-E are not actually far off beating the iPhone and similar devices, if they follow on from their development of the P5. S-E simply need to up the screen size, put in some more powerful hardware and use UIQ 4 with a new Symbian version and they would have their perfect iPhone/N96/W420-beater.
I hope that this is the end of S-E trying to squeeze out every last little drop out of their old ARM9-based hardware and moved on.
