New Low/Mid-End Slider Leaked
Posted by Michell | February 24th, 2008 
SE4m has leaked photos of a new Sony Ericsson slider phone. It’s supposedly going to be a low-end phone with a 1.3 MP camera without auto focus. The display seems to be of QVGA resolution (if not, then 176 x 220 pixels), and boasting a diagonal of about 1.9 inches. Design wise the phone is covered in brushed metal with a tint of glass like material/glossy see-through plastic. It’s a tiny phone, measuring about 8 centimetres in height and about 4 centimetres in width. It is however a bit thick - about 15 millimetres.
I could see this as being a generic version of an upcoming Walkman branded music phone. What makes me think so? The speaker around the navigation d-pad… Furthermore, Sony Ericsson might boost the camera resolution to two mega pixels, and call it a style-minded mid-end phone. Some might think I’m crazy calling this a potential mid-end phone, but the large bump on the back might indicate a special feature, and the soft key layout as well as the call and end buttons could indicate the presence of the A200 platform. One thing to notice is the lack of buttons on the sides of the phone.
I’m guessing this will be announced at CeBIT.
Lots of photos after the jump.

i’d like to take a guess here… the bump on the back will hold a bluetooth headset?
i dunno if i’m alone here but it looks pretty yummy… gimmicky but still scrumptious. =D
6:55 pm on 2/24/08It’s certainly nothing I would buy, but as a low/mid-ender, I guess it’s OK.
7:30 pm on 2/24/08I think I’d buy it, if it’s priced properly. Just to have it, I mean.
7:45 pm on 2/24/08yeh it’s a good phone if priced fine as a second emrgency phone, I always had a candybar phone, and the next will be candybar too, but I think I may have a slider as second phone !! this will be fine as it’s small and nice, but still need more info about it
