Ntt DoCoMo have also recently announced some addition to its 7 series lines. Likely Symbian phones (given their manufacturers history) are the D702iF (Mitsubishi), and the SH702iS (Sharp). The D702iF (for female) is targeted at women. It is available in a range of pastel colours (inlcuding pink) and rounded shape means it can be 'opened withuot damaging your finger nails'. The SH702iS is the newest model in the SH702 range. It features a 2.4 inch QCGA screen (.4 inches bigger than the SH702iD) with a privacy button that reduce the angle of view to keep the screen from being seen by prying eyes.

Sony Ericsson p990 It has been a while coming, but the first UIQ 3 phone has now been announced in the shape of the Sony Ericsson P990. For developers it will present a few challenges, migrating to Symbian OS v9.1, but will certainly offer the rewards of its predecessors. The Sony Ericsson P series has been a significant success. While it may have not achieved the raw sales volumes of devices from rivals, such as Nokia, it has shone as a lucrative opportunity for developers. The three P models have consistently out performed every other smartphone in their ability to encourage users to add additional software. .
