We've yet to see a Satio or XPERIA
X2 or X3 at retail, but
it looks like Sony Ericsson have yet another full touch phone in
the works as it tries to revitalize and reinvent itself with a
renewed focus on Android, Symbian Foundation, and Windows Mobile
for its smartphone lineup. What we're looking at here is claimed to
be a spy shot of the Jalou -- that's a retail name, not a codename,
by the way -- which is said to run S60 5th Edition (just like the
Satio) with WiFi, GPS, and some form of HSDPA on board. The Sony
Ericsson fan base is pretty notorious for crafting beautiful, very
believable concept devices using nothing more than Illustrator and
an overactive imagination, so we'd urge caution here -- but other
than a display that seems to have been blacked out, it all seems
believable enough. The bigger question might be whether the world's
ready for two Symbian-based touchscreen smartphones from
Sony Ericsson in the next few months.
Update: Yep, sure enough, that "notorious fan
base" we just mentioned came out swinging with
this one, a heavily-modified concept based on the W995. In other
words, if the Jalou exists, this isn't it. Thanks, synn!
