SE phones

Sony Ericsson just keeps pumping out new phones every 6 months. The latest group to make the cut is a foursome, Z250/320, K530, W910/960, and he K850. They’re all pretty much updates to the current crop of SE phones but manage to squeeze in EDGE and HSDPA in all save for the clamshells.

The K-series updates the current K790/800 with more internal storage, better screen and a 5 megapixel Cybershot camera. The W-series continues the Walkman branded slider design but updates with 8GB of onboard storage. The Z-series will probably be one of those free phones you get when you sign up for a service plan. Noteworthy tidbits are the 4 OLED icons that indicate waiting voicemails and messages.

Se W999I

Sony’s mobile division is smart, probably one of the smarter Sony sectors. The M600 was an awesome smartphone but obviously jealous of the W580’s clean interface, camera and dedicated music/video controls. However, the jealousy was a two-way street since the W580 was equally envious of the M600’s unique QWERTY keyboard. So what is Sony doing to appease both camps? They’ve squished the best of both phones into a new one dubbed W999i.

Purported specs are 12.5mm thick, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, 2 megapixel auto focus camera with flash, 2.4″ 320 x 240 screen and the M600’s QWERTY keyboard all in a slider form factor. Not exactly a Nokia N95 killer but definitely a contender.

Let us hope and pray this is real.
