Pictures of a new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone have appeared, and it shows a slider phone in the same vein as the super-slim W880i.
The guys over at the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog have uncovered the pic, and we’re sorry to say there’s very little we can report in terms of specs.
Sony Ericsson Rika?
All I can say at this time is that it looks like it will have GPS, a 3.2 MP Camera and judging by the front facing camera, we can guess 3G connectivity is pretty likely too.
Again with most of my posts today, watch this space and see when becomes of this.

I’ve seen a lot of rumours in the past few hours regarding the above phone and now it seems to be popping up everywhere.
As yet there are no photo’s for the device and all I can tell you is that it has an impressive 8 MP camera, quad-band GSM support, tri-band HSDPA and a Touch Screen with swipe technology similar to that seen on the HTC Touch series & iPhone.
I’ve googled till my fingers and eyes are sore trying to get more info on this handset but alas all I could find is that Phones4U the UK based mobile phone seller had indeed created pages for this around 12 hours ago but they look to have been brought offline or deleted.
The actual market name for the Samsung Bresson M8800 is still to be confirmed, due to the low profile surrounding the expected explosive launch. The M8800 is the product code, whilst the Bresson project title is rumoured to be associated with Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer considered the father of modern photojournalism. Which given the handsets purpose and appeal, is very fitting.
Keep watching this space for more details

As you probably know, last night I attended the Global Launch Event for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. This gave us an excellent chance to get some more hands-on time with the X1 and to speak again with Magnus Andersson and the rest of the Sony Ericsson team.
I have to say, the more I see and use the Xperia X1 the more excited I get about it. Looking at the device on paper really doesn’t do it justice and I am now really looking forward to getting my hands on a review unit soon. I’ll be talking about this more later.
So for now I thought I would leave you with this video of Magnus talking about the design of the Xperia X1. I hope you can hear what he was saying clearly enough, it was a busy, crowded event and poor sound levels.

Coolsmartphone managed to attend the Xperia X1 launch last night in London and got a boat load of pictures of the device on their Flickr page here. Their early thoughts on the handset is that it perhaps didn’t perform as quickly as it could, although it could be an early ROM build (err its launched on the 30th). Screen-switching speed wasn’t too bad, although it is dependent on what you’re doing at the time – watching a video and sliding the keyboard out took a little longer. The music and video apps performed well and received praise. A few of the pictures after the break.
Good morning all, we have finally managed to get our hands on pricing for the three brand new handsets in the HTC range.
All three handsets are priced as "Handset Only" which means no contract, unlocked and no icky network operator apps loaded loaded in the ROM.
OK so without further delay here they are:

£514.99 |

£209.99 |

If there is anything specific you would like me to find out about the Xperia X1 or anything else to do with Sony Ericsson, drop me a line and I’ll try and get some answers!
