it don't seem to mentioned anything in the release note about video call
well it suit for some people who just don't want to get video call for some reason
hsdpa with gaming function and walkman fuction...it just seem this is more as a phone for fast data download or data usage.

the phone has 2.4" LCD. basically enough since Nokia even have N82 which had 2.4" screen too 
bart:
basically you're wrong about AF. yeah AF maybe give you better results most of the time but it is not generalizable as what you are saying "a thing that makes your cam take good pictures"as some AF enabled phones takes crap pictures and Sharp's GX30 and SE's S700 proves that you dont need AF to make good pictures
this is the coolest phone i have seen yet to SE i'm glad we now have two phones with Stereo Speakers(W890 and this) and GPS (Z750 and This  ) and a big 2.4" screena with an extra i.e. it's japanese look
