Video: Sony Ericsson’s Upcoming Multi-Device
Posted by Michell | May 16th, 2008 
I bet some of you have checked out the JavaOne conferences, but obviously no-one has gone through them in depth. In one of the videos, Rikko Sakaguchi at Sony Ericsson actually leaks an upcoming phone, well, sort of… After having showcased the video below at the JavaOne conference, Sakaguchi says “actually… you saw the device in the video? That’s something that we’re going to launch this year.” However! If we look closely at a few screenshots from the video, you’ll notice that there’s actually two devices, and not one. Could this be different prototypes for one phone? I mean, Sakaguchi did say “the device”.
Remember, Rikko Sakaguchi is the Senior Vice-President and Head of Product & Application Planning at Sony Ericsson, so it doesn’t get much more official than this.
I must remind you though that this video is almost 2 years old, so a few things might have changed. Now, feel free to let your minds wander.
From JavaOne video.

Actually if you look closer, you can see, that it looks a little bit like a dual slider, because the black/screen part looks the same in both devices
7:11 pm on 5/16/08u mean thats a 2year old video? I hope it’s not a discontinued prototype
7:16 pm on 5/16/08It’s not discontinued
7:17 pm on 5/16/08Looks great! Is it going to launch alongside Paris?
8:07 pm on 5/16/08Soooo…this device has been in testing for two years and will launch later this year? Did I understand that correctly?
9:03 pm on 5/16/08Is it UIQ or WM?
9:23 pm on 5/16/08Don’tcha think it’s a little too early to know?
I hope this is Xperia. I see good things coming out of that series.
9:37 pm on 5/16/08i didnt understand.. its similar to iphone ( and i dont like it) . so you are saying sony ericsson planned a touch device before apple did?
10:35 pm on 5/16/08@mizzle
3:23 am on 5/17/08did he say ‘this year’ or did he specifically say 2008? You’re saying the video is two years old, so I just wanted to confirm.
He said exactly what I quoted, so yes. However he said that at this year’s JavaOne conference which is just days ago
7:41 am on 5/17/08I am not sure if they will release this, there are ppl ready to call anything black and touchscreen as copy of fruit-company stuff. particular those two popular crap blogs! run by high-school drop outs! fruit-slaves!!
8:08 am on 5/17/08It seems to have a 3 or 3.2 inches screen or am I wrong?
11:37 am on 5/17/08@ theFanboy: “fruit-slaves” lol lol lol (I totaly agree)
I think maybe this phone is shiho!
3:42 pm on 5/17/08There has been some rumors talking about a new SE smartphone.
The P5i which is set to release this year according to the Esato’s forum.
And since the video is two years old, maybe the phone has been re-designed.
