It’s quite a busy day since first Shiho (C905) got leaked and now we are presenting Alicia.
To say it plain, it’s quite the same thing as the already known W980i with small differences.
With emphasis to the animations that appear on the outer and hidden display it’s another phone that could be seen as an emotional series phone. Depending from your local services the animations on the display will show the current weather or some nice walkman animations.
The display will also show changing themes depending on the time of the day.
Thanks to phoner @ esato for that nice leak



This is probably the first picture without seeing Paris in a hand with fully slided out keypad.
As you probably can see the keypad is illuminated blue

In cooperation with the German Sony Ericsson forum, se-world.info, here’s another picture of the upcoming Paris. Looks good, doesn’t it?

Sony Ericsson is going to change its old nomenclature of their entire product range. Some among you were surprised of the funky and weird namings of the latest Sony Ericsson products. This scheme will answer almost all of your questions regarding the new namings.
The future names won’t carry the typical “i” in the end of the product name. So the R300 and the R306 are the first phones that follow this new nomenclature. It isn’t really new, since we know the same nomenclature from the Japanese phones already. And here we go:

To get the whole story completed - a brief explanation of the upcoming series and their lower end parts:
• XPERIA vs. G-Series (G stands for: Generation Web)
The G-series is the lower end series compared to the XPERIA series. Both are determined as dedicated smart phone series.
• Cyber-shot - Series vs. Snapshot - Series (new S-series phones)
Cyber-shot has become a well known and well beloved series within the Sony Ericsson portfolio. It will get a new “sub-brand” called Snapshot containing new stylish phones in different form factors poorer equipped than the Cyber-shot models.
• Walkman - Series vs. Radio - Series (new R-series phones)
The smaller brother of the Walkman line will be the poorer equipped Radio line. It will be a nice extension regarding the music department of Sony Ericsson.
Some examples on existing phones:
• C902 - High-End Candybar (Cyber-shot)
• C702 - Mid-Range Candybar (Cyber-shot)
• R306 - Low-End Clamshell (Radio-Series)
Successors will be indexed for example C912… C922… C932, and so on 
As you can see, there are a lot of varieties and combinations… so SE won’t run out of new names that soon 
Time for new codenames to be leaked
• Linda
• Alicia
• Shiho (also mentioned long ago) also mentioned by prudent
• Paris
• Ying (Yang)
• Oceania
Those are 100% sure to come 
There’s a high possibilty that we’ll see an UIQ-powered Cybershot phone. It’s also likely to have some more megapixels than current devices
. A lot of new innovations are waiting for us - more to come later.
P1i will stop shipping from September. You can imagine what its replacement will be 

As you’ve probably heard, Sony Ericsson will present some nice handsets at the MWC (formerly called 3GSM).
The press conference held under the motto “Big Ideas” at this year’s MWC will not only show us SE’s big achievements, but even a hell of a big amount of new great phones.

Since Sony Ericsson focused last year on low/mid-range phones the emphasis this year will be placed on high-end walkman and cybershot models. Among a flood of really nice fashion phones powered by UIQ there’ll be of course some nice feature phones running the A200 platform.
Here are some release dates of yet unannounced phones:
• Angelina Q2
• Tyra Q3 (UIQ-Low-end)
• Emilie Q3
• Josephine Q3 (UIQ-Mid-range)
Besides this Sony Ericsson plans to expand their accessories as well. A walkman phone called Madonna in one package with a hifi-system (of course also from SE) will be out during this year. This will be also a fashion phone (maybe P5i sister) stated to be very expensive but nice to look at. You probably all know ‘pebble’ (MBS-100) - as it seems to come out in a bigger and more powerful version with incredible sound.
Apart from that some more codenames of yet unannounced phones:
• Ellai/Lai (Cybershot)
• Shio (Cybershot)
