No, that's not the phone the SE47 was based off of. the SE47 was based off of the Sky5400, and the phone you posted is the monochrome screen one (B&W).

Well, maybe it's it.

This is the Sky 5400....

that other phone was also manufactured by sky. That phone is called the SKY 5100. Looks like the 5400 has bluetooth. Is SKY kyocera in japan???

Ok i did a little research and i found out this......

The sky 5100 was the first ever sliding phone. It had a greyscale screen and i think monophonic ringtones(could be wrong) then SKY releiced 5400 and kyocera wanted to play ball, so they releiced se47 in North America, possibly makeing more money than the Sky 5400. The only questian remaining is why Sky didn't sue kyocera's *** off for stealing their phone?

They got permission... wait... I emailed them about this a while back. Hopefully it wasn't with my old email... yes, it was. I remember emailing them about this. they said it was just a coincidence.

A coincidence?????? yeah some coincidence it is that two different companys have the same exact looking phone. they person who e-mailed you back proabably had no idea what he was talking about.
