Compact device size was always Sony Ericsson’s the ace in pack of cards, the manufacturer was not trying to present a device that would fit all latest achievements in one case, which would become unacceptably big in size. In case with Sony Ericsson K790/K800 manufacturer slightly steps away from this rule – the phones size is 106x47x18 mm. For comparison Sony Ericsson K750i’s size was 100x46x20.5 mm. Almost half centimeter addition in height is not very reasonable for announced models, there is space for placing all elements, their compact positioning. The explanation is different, these phones will become the basis for long-term platform, just like the one that was used from year to year in previous model generations, it gave congruent sizes. First phones based on this platform will not have maximal feature pack, but in future this will be improved. The case’s size allows installing screens with non-standard diagonals for intermediate solutions before VGA, and standard screens with VGA resolution. But this is not the case of upcoming months, life term for the new platform will be around 3-4 years at minimum estate, it will allow the company to activate development of various phones in terms of design in average and higher segments.
