Sony Ericsson 'Jalou' next in company's Symbian lineup? (Update: maybe, but this isn't it)

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 href="http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=177537&start=5385">
this one, a heavily-modified concept based on the W995. In other
words, if the Jalou exists, this isn't it. Thanks, synn!

Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X2 demoed on video

href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs4OWMQ4NMw">src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_xAKFjBMEg-Q/SnDI-ZwhwjI/AAAAAAAAAH4/HdiofpYQqu4/jpg20F5.png" />




You know what frustrates us? Someone with their hands on a totally
sweet piece of gadgetry who clearly doesn't know what to do with
it. Such is the case in the video below, which seems to depict a
gentlemen fondling sony Ericsson's next XPERIA installment,
the X2. While there's
not much to see of the device itself, the phone is apparently
running a fairly recent version of Windows Mobile
6.5, and the company has clearly taken its skinning team to
parts of the OS, as the user in the video manages to stumble past
some pretty magnificent looking UI trickery. It doesn't seem as
dressed up as the X1's Panel interface does, though this likely
isn't the final product. Truck on after the break to see the X2 in
action, and try to quell your anger as the phone is repeatedly put
to sleep during the demo.

Sony Ericsson "Twiggy" seems to leak into the wild

Sony Ericsson has a world-renowned reputation for being unable to
keep a lid on its stuff, and the trend appears to be continuing
with the "Twiggy" -- a
phone that seems destined to replace the aging W350. This bad
boy was actually first spotted way back in March -- curiously
leaked in Sony Ericsson's own marketing materials, no less -- but
this time around it looks like we have a unit somewhere out there
in the real wild ("IRL" as those particularly internet-savvy folks
out there might say). No word on specs just yet; regardless,
though, we're just pleased to see that the company appears to still
be committed to this niche form factor most manufacturers won't
touch with a ten-foot pole.

Sony Ericsson intros T715 slider, VH310 Bluetooth headset

Sony Ericsson's pushing its Walkman and Cyber-shot sub-brands
harder than ever these days, but there's still plenty of good stuff
in the regular range, too -- take this T715, for example. The newly
announced slider features a 3.2 megapixel camera with "photo light"
(don't call it a flash), sunlight-viewable 2.2-inch QVGA display,
3G, an impressive claimed 20 days of standby time, and a compact
shell -- SE says it's the size of a credit card when closed.
Launched alongside the T715 is the VH310 headset, available in your
choice of silver or black with three different earpieces and two
loops to fit your screwed-up head perfectly. Look for the phone to
launch in Galaxy Silver and Rouge Pink (isn't that a
contradiction?) in the third quarter -- and yes, both global and
North American 3G versions will be available.

Sony Ericsson launching something at ComunicAsia this week -- XPERIA X2, maybe?

Nokia certainly took its launch lineup seriously ahead of CommunicAsia's grand opening in Singapore this week with the launch of the 5530 XpressMusic and E72, and considering that, we're willing to bet that Sony ericsson would want to make a similarly big splash when it holds its press conference on Wednesday -- but what could it be? The Satio and Aino are already out there, so it seems like the odds-on favorite for announcement here would have to be the well-leaked XPERIA X2. If the leaks turn out to be spot-on accurate, we're definitely not sold that the phone's any better-looking than the X1 it replaces, but then again, it'd be awfully hard to argue with an 8.1 megapixel cam and OLED display running Windows Mobile 6.5, even if you're not a WinMo kinda person. The action kicks off at 4:30PM Singapore time, which works out to a torturous 4:30AM for you New Yorkers -- so just how badly do you want to see it possibly unveiled, eh? And more importantly, how peeved will you be if it isn't?
