Well I think you’ve cracked it on the head regarding the huge range of models, save yourself some money and make a dozen models!.

Having come from a SE K850i and then a C902 I’m not stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to upgrading my handset as they’ve stopped doing the C905.

What manufacturers like SE & Nokia must realise a 5 Mega pixel camera are now pretty much basic requirements for any customer.
If I wanted a 3 Mega pixel I’d go back to the early 2000′s

I personally couldn’t care about touch screen features but regardless the screen must be either glass or scratch resistant.

We want nothing to do with these flexible touch screens!.

Apple has continued with simplicity and has dominated their market.

Its the old story give ‘em too much choice and they wont make any decisions. Far too complicated. But, give it to Steve Jobs one thing does it all! Why waste time finding out about stuff you may or may not want or need?
As we always say 2 choices, Maximum! But make sure you know what to pitch!

@Dennis: Very good point. It’s a total paradigm shift.

They are accomplishing feature variety through hardware while Apple accomplishes it through software. That’s why it took a computer computer to shake up phone companies.

Brilliantly Right! Confusions, and just more confusions in the end. Besides, I have a feeling, by year 2020, most of us would be having an iphone but with various skins for covers and home page?

You are right.
But not totally.
There are a lot of us out there who dislike apple because we dislike a phone with touchscreen. And the need to use itunes and to buy all applications and music from appstore.
I like buttons, smooth but a bit larger than the smallest.
I like SEs menus, nokia gets me confused nowadays.
But even though I dislike a slide phone, I would like to see a E75 from ericsson, working fast as hell.

SE’s problem is that they don’t concentrate. Try to keep up 5-6 models, maybe have a standard model that are there year after year, for those who only want to make a call now and then.
And have a see to it that almost all models have the same spec.

as for now, the difference between w995 and c905 are very much alike, BUT:
3.5 mm jack is missing on c905
scratch free glas is missing on w995
there are a better camera in the c905
WY?
they could have made just one phone with all in it…

[...] Pingdom looks at why Nokia and Sony are getting woopaged by Apple with regards to mobile devices. Apparently it has to do with Sony offering 1,910 models of phones while Apple forces their customers to all carry the exact same device. [...]

True points, Apple only has a few devices and then they really screw consumers big time with each of their ridiculously overpriced products.

You are it seems actually suggesting that Nokia and Sony-Ericsson need to copy the Apple model, of making exclusive distribution deals to sell an overpriced gadget with a $2000+ 2-year contract. There is a financial crisis, people are short of that kind of money. It’s just plain evil from Apple to take that from those types of gadget addict geeks.
