The latest Sony Ericsson rumors
A new member under the name arunvc over at esato have provided lots of info in the rumor super thread. Since he is new, his credibility is in question so it's up to you whether to believe it or not. Here is a round up of all the info he posted. Before that, here is a big update post by shaliron.
"BIG UPDATE:
Symbian Cyber-shot phone planned for the near future.
Movement to Windows Mobile OS (to be released by the second half of 2008) perhaps alongside with their UIQ phones.
Severine is the Cyber-shot with 3x optical zoom. Cancelled because Sofia was so badly delayed.
Jie
To be named V640. Vodafone exclusive candybar. 2 megapixel camera, 176x220px screen, and about 16-17mm thick. Successor to the V630. Will come in three colours: brown/gold, black/orange, and white/orange. Very much like a K530 with JP-8 and HSDPA.
Slim Walkman Phone
Could be named W770. Could be a Walkman version of the K770. No visible frontal camera, 2.2" QVGA screen, non-AF camera, and made of plastic. Could be like a W580 in a candybar form.
W890
W880 successor. 3.2MP camera with AF but no flash, 2" QVGA screen, light sensor and made of metal. Will come in at least 2 colours. Will be JP-8. Should be available soon after announcement (to make the Christmas rush).
The low end candybar is the K205a for the American market. Looks to be a redesigned K200.
MBS-100
A bluetooth speaker system shaped as a ball.
There may be an announcement on the 15th of November, 2007. The P3, Mooi, Akiko, and Lena may be announced.
The W54S is for AU KDDI. It may not be Cyber-shot branded, and if so, another one will come out with Cyber-shot branding.
The SO905i is not Cyber-shot, although there is a phone codenamed SO905iCs, which is Cyber-shot, and may or may not be announced in November.
...another UPDATE:
The P3 will be announced in November and released in 2008.
Mooi will have six keys plus a navigation pad and no keypad.
UPDATE:
The gaming phone will have dedicated gaming buttons and motion sensors. It may be announced on the 11th of February, 2008.

The SO905i will not have a 2 step slider design. That was only a concept."
