As more and more spy pictures of the highly rumored Sony Ericsson P5, codenamed Paris, are released, it seems more and more likely that the P5 will be released sooner rather than later.

Though there are no official specifications, from the pictures, it can be said that the P5 has a QWERTY keyboard similar to the P1, and is very obviously a slider type phone. Other features might include a 5 mega pixel camera with sliding lens cover, as well as a secondary video camera located in the front for video calls. There also seems to be a dedicated music key on the right side of the phone.

The P5 is also supposed to be running the latest UIQ 3.3 UI for Symbian, as well as having a built in GPS receiver, WiFi and HSDPA connectivity. Hopefully this will all be true when its finally announced.

AT&T has just officially launched the Sony Ericsson Z750a clamshell phone. It will be available in pink, grey and purple, and will be Sony Ericsson’s first phone to support dual band WCDMA(850/1900mhz) on AT&T’s high speed 3G network.

Beneath the smooth mirror finish, lies Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, along with A2DP support for Bluetooth stereo phones, FM radio, as well as Memory Stick M2 support, which will be great for those who love music. The Z750a also supports full HTML on its 2.2” QVGA display which supports 262k colors, which will display web sites quickly on the HSDPA connection.

On the exterior, aside from the beautiful metallic color, there is also a hidden OLED screen as well as a 2 mega pixel camera.

The Sony Ericsson Z750a is available now from AT&T Wireless, priced at $49.99 with a 2-year commitment and mail-in rebate.

Sony Ericsson's latest 3G handset, the G502 has just been launched, bringing HSDPA connectivity to the masses without having you to break the bank in order to own one. Underneath its candybar exterior lies a 2 megapixel camera, an integrated MP3 player, HSDPA, and pre-installed Google Maps for you to move around easily. There is no word on pricing, but the G502 has a tentative release date of sometime this Q2. It will be a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 phone, coming in Champagne Black and Brilliant Hazel colors.

Sony Ericsson's G502, also known as Emelie, will be officially announced on the 23rd of this month but for those who can't wait, here are the specifications (they might vary in the final product, but the probability of that happening is lower than an asteroid hitting the earth).

• 2" QVGA 260K color screen
• HSDPA connectivity
• Exchange Activesync support

• Netfront web browser
• 2 megapixel non AF camera with 4x digital zoom

Well, with this much clearer image of the Sony Ericsson Z780, there is no further doubt about the status of this handset making its way into public domain. The only question that remains now is this - when will it be released, and how much will it cost? What you see above is the Z780 being compared with its predecessor, the Z720. I like the slimmer Z780 from this view, but somehow the Z720 is more elegant and has a design which is more timeless. This is tipped to be a mid-range market handset.

Here's a screenshot of the upcoming Paris slider handset from Sony Ericsson - it will run on the UIQ 3.3 operating system while boasting a minimalist form factor. Word has it that Sony Ericsson will issue an official announcement for the handset before May, and will roll it out at retail stores by September. Will you choose this over the iPhones?

SE has not released any official information yet in terms of pricing for their upcoming hot-shot device, the Xperia X1, but a few retailers have already offered some pre-order pricing, giving us a look at what sort or pricing we can be expecting. The prices seem to have a $300 margin of error so we could be looking at a few price alternatives.

Don't panic. There is nothing wrong with your W700 battery or device. Police in Nottingham England recently seized a Sony Ericsson W700 which appeared to be a normal device, except had an added "stun" button. Closer inspection yielded the appearance of two small metal prongs projecting from the device, which were capable of delivering 900,000 V of electricity into a human body.

For a concept with so much ambiguity, Sony Ericsson has been trying their damnedest behind the scenes to bring phone capabilities to the PSP, or even develop a new PSP-esque device. A recently filed patent reveals another possible PSP-phone design to the table, with a new sliding touchscreen device, complete with gaming-centric controls.
