Sony Ericsson Released the P910

So what's new? Nothing much, except for the updated screen colors and thumboard. It still looks the same, the camera resolution is still the same, well some softwares were added. But a friend of mine was wondering in his column (blog.m-ph.com) why SE would release a "new" product when the product it was suppose to replace is still selling like hotcakes. Well, SE is know for this, overlapping products, and instead of launching them all at the same time, they would do a piecemeal launch.

I first noticed this attitude of SE with the T610. After the official launch, they came out with the T616, so what's the difference? Nothing! It's just that the T616 uses the 850mHz frequency while the T610 uses 900mHz. Still Tri-band but works out totally different. I realized this when I got a T616 from the US, after travelling around Manila or the country, it keeps on giving me the No Access alert on the screen. What baffled me was that my friend's T610 got full bars of Network signal on his, considering we're using the same Operator. Then there's the T100 with the T105, the T630 with the T637, the F500 with the K500.

So, I wouldn't be surprised with this move from SE. Besides, just take a look at the separate launch of the S700 from the S710. Basically the same, in fact identical in features, only the location of release is different. Posted by Hello
