The latest Sony Ericsson info and rumors

Lot's of info provided by m-one over at esato. Here is what he posted.

But I've some new infos:

First, the release dates for the handsets already announced:

K850i as well as the W910 will hit the shelves both on the first week of October (W40).

The W960i (Maria) will be available on December 3rd.
The T650i has just been approved by the FCC but a release date hasn't been mentioned so far. But it's just a question of time.

I messed of some things up about MOOI. I thought it would be the same as Maria.
But actually it turns out to be the direct competitor to the iPhone - similar or higher speced than the W960i.
Its announcement will probably take place at a press conference on October 11th. (UPDATE - It will be announced on November 15th). It's going to be released next year in W9 (Feb. 25th).

Unfortunately I've no more infos about the specs. I guess after the IFO exhibition there'll be more infos available;)

Maria is the W960i. But MOOI will be the new high-end walkman flagship.
Probably better speced than the W960i.

On Nov. 15th there'll be the last announcement date for this year:

AKIKO available in W9 next year
LENA available in W8 next year
Play Now 5.0 will be also introduced at this press conference on Nov. 15th

On October 11th some new accessories will be released:

A ball-shaped loudspeakersystem like the MDS-60 called Pebbles.
As well as the HCB-105.

thought so, too. The W960i will be relauched to be a serious competitor to the iPhone.
So I guess SE won't relaunch the same W960i again.
It has to be something completely new.

My guess is that MOOI will be speced similar to the upcoming P3i.
