DO we know if anymore new handsets are being released with WP7 something preferably 4G for tmo or sprint
we don't know, but there may be some announcements at CES in a couple of days
I know that the Asus phone is being released pretty soon and the HTC 7 Pro on Sprint (most likely it will be 4G).

Highly doubtful it would be 4g, since WP7 currently doesn't support it.

I am buying ASUS phone the day its getting released.. its by far the most professional looking WP7 so far.. maybe after Dell Venue Pro..
I regret not buying ASUS P750 every single day of my life.. I went for HP Ipaq 614C which was a miserable choice.
Can anyone tell me what model, what company this Phone is???

Its the phone they use in a lot of their marketing materials, I don't believe its real.
Omnia looks closest though.
I am guessing that they will releases the Asus phone at MWC, which isn't too far away. Oh and Toshiba is releasing a WP7 phone sometime in the future, maybe an Acer phone.
Well CES came and went and WP7 was barely a blip in the radar besides the update confirmatin coming this month. im starting to become a little dissapointed as MS, to me, is unfortunately not being aggresive enough following WP7 deployment
Yes, CES was a failure for WP7, not much news, very upsetting in my eyes, Android really showed their azz. Putting Wp7 to shame. I was expecting to see something.
what were y'all expecting to see??? The OS just released, a little early for a huge showing at CES.

It was CES!!
The reason why there was little to no announcements on the mobile front from anyone (even the Android announcements were majority tablet based) was because MWC is just over a month away:
http://www.mobileworldcongress.com/
It is here where they will announce more phones, what's featured in the update to come, new games etc etc.

I kind of think tablets were the main focus. Even though AT&T and Verizon released a boatload of phones, not many phones were released for Sprint or T-Mobile and even those phones weren't so hot.
Well, last year they did unveil Windows Phone 7. I would expect something big this year.

Rumors are going around that Samsung could announce the first 4G WP7 at MWC next month. I'm not getting my hopes too high though. This is only a rumor which is based on 'hints' from a Samsung head.
http://wmpoweruser.com/samsung-hinting-at-4g-windows-phone-7-smartphone/
Besides that, I'm expecting Sprint and Verizon to have their WP7s by April and the second generation of handsets sometime between August and November.
I agree with MWC being next month where we'll get more WP news, and maybe new form factors (chassis 2 and 3?)
In the end, M$ needs to push really hard in getting the word out, I don't think much people even know about WP7 and what advantages it has over competing platforms. Once M$ can get more public awareness, will we see OEM's have more confidence in the platform, and produce more handsets.
We will see a lot more at MWC from WP7. CES is about a lot more than just phones, and is really a bad place to for a company like MS to focus on their phone platform. MWC is the proper stage to do that, and they will.
I think we see the big news being CDMA phones; and secondary to that will be the first update (either just released or to be released very soon), hints at the next update(s), and a glimpse of WP7 phones to be released this summer. Anymore, phones have about a 6 month cycle, so by summer the first release of WP7 handsets will be due for updates.

I'm not sure why people think MS will announce anything CDMA-related there. MWC is an international event and for the past number of years, almost every single phone announced there was GSM-only (i.e. requires SIM card).
MS could just drop some general info about when CDMA phones will be available, but I seriously doubt they will go into any further details and will instead launch more devices for international markets.

This coming update will provide drivers for the new snapdragon chips. The ones that are capable of 14.4 mpbs down. I am guessing we will have HSPA+ really soon.
So I have been checking the web constantly for the Ion release date. Though I have yet to find something concrete, something caught my eye yesterday. I did a google search for Xperia Ion and when the description came up for Sony's website, it said "Coming in June only from AT&T." Well I did the same search this morning so I could take a screen shot of what I saw and now the description says, "Coming Soon only from AT&T." I bet what I saw was accidentally put in the meta description then taken down. Hope this is correct. I'm due for upgrade in June and I really want the Ion. The One X is my second choice, but I really want that HDMI out!
Hope someone here has some inside information.
I figured out if you continuously hit refresh, the ad description updates. Here's the screenshot.

I disagree, partially. I really wished Sony would learn from previous experience and wouldn't be late to the quadcore party or at least come up with a 2012 SoC during 2012, but in the other hand some people will prefer the design and camera over other ubiquitous phones by other manufacturers.
Glad to see someone out there cares about this phone. I honestly expect the 4.0 update to be ready within a month of the release of the phone. I can't stand touchwiz or sense. I'm using a captivate atm. I immediately flashed a rom to get rid of touchwiz. I however have my x10 running wolf breaks tweaked stock 2.3 rom because I actually like the Sony UI. Besides, no phone on the market will have a camera comparable to the ion. 1.5ghz dual core seems like plenty of fire power for me. My captivate is smooth with ICS and a single core, don't see how the Sony won't do just as well, especially after the ICS update. The One X is my backup plan, but I really want that ION!

I wouldn't recommend HTC, their build quality and service are not comparable to Samsung, Apple or Sony.
Sammy always has the hottest hardware but their phones look plasticky and Touchwiz is not my taste. Matter of personal choices.
I'm currently using the Arc with ICS update.
Wow. That phone almost makes me want to go back to AT&T. GBs not that big of a deal, hopefully devs will jump on that phone pretty quickly and get some custom ROMs going...

Hi Orb3000, nice to see you again
You must reconsider your decission because the OP is NOT a question but a statement. The guy found an interesting slip in google advertising system which confirmed a June release date for the aforementioned phone.
Whatsmore, many recognized tech blogs acknowledged his finding and published notes about it, some even linking here to xda-devs as the source of the finding.
Just got my Xperia Ion! Here's a couple of photos next to my Xperia S, along with the Antutu benchmark!
Where did you get it from?
I'm hoping they announce it's release on AT&T very soon!
U got an S and an Ion??? SHOWOFF!!! eb

It's amazing to me how little AT&T is pushing this phone. You go to the AT&T website and you have to dig to find it (whereas the one x and the sgIII are on the front page). I understand those are higher end devices, but it seems as if AT&T doesn't really care at all about what is a pretty decent phone. Even when I walked into the AT&T store, they looked at me like I was crazy for asking for the ion (maybe they forgot how to sell anything other than iphones....)

The phone is finally visible on the site, I find it interesting..I emailed Sony about that and a few hours later the phone magically appeared!
I ordered my phone online through the website the day it was released (like you said had to dig through the search bar to find it). Unfortunately I was unable to upgrade from my end so I had to call 611.
At&t must not have told many people about its roll out because the rep who helped me had no clue that this phone existed but had no problem searching it himself and ordering it on his end. I emphasize this because he flat out told me he keeps up with all the employee updates and me asking about the phone was the first he ever heard of it.
Long story short he ordered the phone for himself and expressed my order so we both can baste in its awesomeness asap!
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.

Hi. The post I put up earlier shows that Sony can't tell us whether they will update the smartwatch. Could someone find a way to confirm that the watch will be updated so that I could by one
Unfortunately until it's officially confirmed individual emails from various members of customers services are likely to say different things.
Even official posts on Twitter or other social media site still do not guarantee android 2 on the swr50.
It's just a waiting game and fingers crossed...love my watch as it is now and yes aw2 would be nice but I did not buy it with that in mind....
What I also find suspicious is that aw2 is already out in preview mode for other watch phones yet nothing for swr50.
Not a good sign....But enjoy your watch now.
No mention of Sony Smartwatch 3 in list for Wear 2.0.
http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/22/14057656/google-smartwatch-android-wear-2-0-launch
android central also posted the list, no AW2.0 for SW3..
http://www.androidcentral.com/these-are-smartwatches-will-get-android-wear-20

oh well, time to save up for something else and move on. It's been great SW3, but it looks like your time on my wrist is almost at an end. Note to self - you're not buying a watch, you're buying a phone accessory, so expect to replace it as often as your phone.
i think they will manage it somehow, why they would confirm it on twitter, support etc.

On one hand. Getting AW2.0 would be good to keep the device alive. BUT... All or most of the AW2.0 Dev Previews were for ROUND devices and the UI looks to be made around that form factor. And the SWr50 is Square... I think AW1.5 better suits SWr50 more that AW2.0.

Good point. Also, the sources that told you which devices are getting AW2.0 can't confirm anything... They can only go off what information they have. As Sony hasn't given anything, we just have to wait and see. Them not putting the SWr50 on the list is just lack of information for the time being.
I have written to Sony Support a moment ago and i'll see.

No, they added round screen lists, they didn't take square away. Square watches won't have round menus.

Yeah, I think it's best to get in contact with the technical department or something because I guess the people in charge of the commercial aspect (twitter/FB) will probably say something like that " Wait for the notification to appear " even tho they don't know much about current or future firmware developing of android wear.

Exactly
Just to add my thoughts.... The sony z3 had an android 7.0 beta but was never released with sony saying it couldn't because it did not meet googles hardware rules. Specifically support for opengl 3.0 or vulkon. I wonder if its the same for the smartwaches as they will be upgraded to 7.1. I know the sw3 has opengl 2.0 but not sure what each watch on the list has.(Apart from nixon and moto sport have opengl 3.0). Any way if its not that then maybe something similar.
Android wear 2.0
Bonjour
Voici la réponse reçu par Sony France...
The Sony Smartwatch 3 is fully capable of housing Wear 2.0 and has the same specs as half of the devices that are getting the update. Also, it has NFC which you could use with the new Android Pay! I'm not sure if the NFC on the SW3 is full fledged but either way, I think this device should receive wear 2.0 regardless of how old it is if the specs can handle it. If you think so too, email Sony and if a lot of us do it maybe they'll notice. Here's a copy of what I sent them:
Very disappointed that the Smartwatch 3 will not be receiving Wear 2.0. It's very unreasonable as it has the same specs as half of the devices that will be getting the upgrade. In fact, it has better specs than some! The SW3 has NFC which is now finally going to be useful with Android Pay! Just take one good look at any website that just posted about Wear 2.0 and you'll see it's not just me that's upset about this. This device is a great smartwatch and is fully capable of housing Android Wear 2.0.
Update!!: Sorry, guys! I haven't been getting any email notifications from this thread. I had no idea so many people have been viewing it! Here is the link to where you can send them an email: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/swr50/contactUs/mail/?region=en_GB
Hope this works, fingers crossed.
Update 2: I will be making a separate thread but here I see a link to a change.org petition I made because the other one wasn't very persuasive. https://www.change.org/p/sony-wear-2-0-on-sony-sw3?recruiter=680990369&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=share_email_responsive
Well stated!
Which sony email that you used? Can i have it too?
Hello SW3 users.
My concern is that the new app delivery model will make our watch a dumb watch. I bought this watch less than a year ago just for the fitness apps, and without them for me it's completely useless.
To the OP: if you share the email address that you've used we can concentrate on a single target!
http://www.xperiablog.net/2017/02/08/sony-smartwatch-3-not-on-the-android-wear-2-0-list/
This just makes me wanna crawl in a corner and cry. I dont think its Sony's fault I blame stupid Google because if it wernt for them all snapdragon 801 devices would have Nougat offically but because they dont wanna give them vulkan support they dont. Same with the SW3 and its a load of crap with the SW3 if we dont get it because most watches only have 2 cores enabled so if they enabled the other 2 wouldnt that count as extra power? Snapdragon 400 should be enough for wear 2.0. I will be really sad if we dont get wear 2.0.
Edit: Huawei watch doesnt even have NFC. Unlike some other watches we also have wifi too i cant see what would be missing to support wear 2.0.
I have sent a message to Sony via the Xperia Care email form.

Sony UK told me today on live chat that they won't upgrade
It's the same as with KK for the Sony Xperia SP, a very popular device. It was on their site and then suddenly it wasn't anymore and then the final message NO KK for the SP.
I really doubt it that SW3 will get AW2.0 for the reasons that all big companies are not interested in updating, only selling new.

Likewise, I assumed as much when I bought the watch late last year - very much case of "good price and I'm not going to expect much from a device over 2 years old".
Shame though!

OK guys we can't stay and just look, we have to do what we can.
The Asus Zenwatch 2 have A.W. 2, is a square watch like the SW3 the screen is just 0'03 ' bigger, the processor is the same, the SW3 has NFC an important features of A.W. 2 something that haven't the ZW2silly. There are our argument, you can had other if you want.
Now we have to create a polemic about programmed obsolescence we have to contact the tech press of our country. Google and Sony will not want to be in this case. In France programmed obsolescence is now an offence.
I believe in you, contact specialized press and consumer association.:fingers-crossed:

Does the Sony Smartwatch get upgraded to Android Wear 2.0?
Didrik F 10:40:21 am
Currently Smartwactch 3 is not on the list of smartwatches to be updated to Android Wear 2.0. There is however a possibility that it might receive it later.
Claus 10:42:10 am
Ok, but you are stirring up MAJOR confusion, since several retailers and articles states that it WILL be upgraded. And other users had that confirmed by your english support. Then all of a sudden you either say it wont (message from the english support) or says it might. Either way you are backpedaling from previous claims (and a lot of info out there confirming the upgrade)
So just be honest if you ran into unforseen consequenses.. (or are considering a Smartwatch 4) 10:43:03 am

We currently don't have any information about any possible unforseen consequenses or if/when Smartwatch 4 will be developed. You can however find more information about the Smartwatch 3 and Android wear on our blog.

The first link is confirmation from your own support. The other is a commercial advertising the watch with aw2.0 10:45:37 am
In the first post you can find several links to ad's, articles and other that hints the upgrade. Can you understand the confusion? 10:46:19 am
.. but the confusion start spreading around page 5
Didrik F 10:48:41 am
I can understand the confusion, but currently the Smartwatch 3 only supports Android Wear 1.5 and we currently don't have any information about it possibly getting the newest update to Android Wear 2.0.
Didrik F 10:50:48 am
I can see that you were in contact with the XDA-forum, which we do not have any direct contact with. So I can neither confirm or deny what they are telling you.
Claus 10:53:44 am
Those are dedicated users THAT IS QUOTING EMAILS from both your english and french support stating that the watch will get updated to Android Wear 2.0.. It is not XDA telling me that it will.. It is users quoting mails from your own support. Untill you suddenly backpedaled a few days ago.. Something tells me that you had unforseen beef with google, but you wont admit it.
We just want what was hinted to us in both support-mails and ads (which admittedly was taken down again, but well documented). Its not to be rough, but I smell a class-action lawsuit incoming. 10:54:52 am
You have some VERY dedicated customers. And it doesn't quite seem like you know how oustanding a product your watches really is compared to the market. You should really embrace this niche. 10:55:57 am
Didrik F 10:56:42 am
I'm sorry, but as I said, we currently don't have any more information about Android Wear 2.0 and if it will be released to Smartwatch 3.
Claus 10:57:17 am
Ok.. And the earlier mails from your english and french support was a mistake, or?
And one last thing.. I reached out via mail support several times, but haven't got and answer: The swr510c adapter, briefly on the market in japan, will that be back in stock? Either in japan or elsewhere on the globe? 10:59:14 am

A piece of plastic, currently going on ebay for same as the price of the watch.. So I think its sought for.
Didrik F 11:02:56 am
As we are only the support for the Nordic market, I cannot answer questions about the other countries markets. If you want information about when items will be in stock in our E-store, I suggest that you contact our E-store support.

The metal band sells for 300 dollars, this piece of plastic for 150.. You treat the watch as a foster-baby, and don't see how dedictated a user base and how well made a product you actually have.
But thanks for nothing I guess.. 11:03:31 am
Didrik F 11:03:47 am
Sorry, I gave you the wrong link. https://sonyestore.zendesk.com/hc/sv/articles/205363242-Kundtjänst is the correct one.
Is there anything else I can help you with right now?
Claus 11:04:53 am
Yeah... I might actually need some contact to the support/estore for japan, to get answered if it will be back in stock there.
Didrik F 11:07:27 am
If you have a market-specific question I can only ask you to contact that specific market. We have no direct E-mail adress or phone-number to them. The best I can do is to send you a link to the Japanese website, which is in japanese.
Claus 11:08:33 am
Ok.. Then again.. Thanks for nothing and have a nice weekend.. I have the PS4, Sony mobile, 55" TV and a watch.. Will consider my future engagement in the light of this.
Didrik F 11:08:46 am
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support! Have a nice day!

The most I can suggest is wait for MWC if Sony doesnt unveil a new SW4 then there is still a chance that we could get AW2.0. On most sites they only say that the moto 360 and lg r watch arent getting it because they are 2014 devices with no wifi or NFC but they don't say anything about SW3. Dont forget SW3 is Sonys only android wear watch. Either it gets the update or they make SW4. Lets just wait till MWC I cant see what the point of making an SW4 would be at the moment. Most if not all watches have basically the exact same specs as SW3. I even compared our watch with the 2015 Huawei watch and we actually have a bigger screen, mor mah on the battery and NFC. Yet the Huawei watch gets the Dev preview. I think maybe it could be because the SW3 isnt as expensive as most other watches and is seemed less premium and more as a sports watch. I dont like that because it can still be a nice looking watch with the right strap. Im just trying to work my head round it. Its really is like KK on the SP again.
Contacting Sony Support is kind of pointless because you will find in different regions they will tell you different things. In one place they will say yeah well get it and in another no we wont. Its the same with their bravia support because me and a few others have been contacting them about HDR which they now claim on their site our TV has but it only does something with the content through USB. So yeah its not Sony I think you should be blaming but Google as Sony wanna be first to issue 7.1 as an oem and theyre still supporting their 2015 bravias which is good. They also still support their own old consoles too. I think we should be contacting God damn Google not Sony. Google even killed off all snapdragon 801 devices by refusing to support vulkan with the chip. The snap 801 device are really good too. Google refuse to do the drives for them. SCREW GOOGLE!!! Theyre the ones to blame if we dont get the update.

Sign this maybe they might do something.
The main problem I think is the design of the SW3 Android 2 uses the crown ? wheel for many functions

Click to expand...

all the old watches that get updated don´t have a crown either
