Our friend Eldar over at Mobile-Review has managed to get his hands on a Kurara, the much leaked HD video recording handset that we’ve being seeing so much of lately. Eldar revealed that Kurara is packing a Cortex A8 processor and 256 MB of RAM as well as a PowerVR graphics processor. All this corroborates the 720p HD video recording we’ve heard about and the Symbian UI is supposedly most responsive and fluid indeed. Eldar went on to say that in terms of price we’d be looking at around 500 euros and could expect to see it sometime in February.

Keep your eyes on Mobile-Review tomorrow as Eldar is promising a more full-on preview and more pictures!

Here are two new spy pics of the Sony Ericsson Kurara ( ‘U5′) , which was leaked a couple of weeks ago for the first time. The ‘Kurara’ will be launched under the Entertainment Unlimited banner and will be based on the Symbian S60 platform. It will sport an 8 megapixel camera capable of recording HD videos ( check out the words ‘HD’ imprinted on the back). Other features include a LED flash, face detection and smile shutter.

Contrary to rumors, the Kurara will feature a smaller 3.2 inch touchscreen although it’ll sport the same processor as on the Satio.
Other specs include a 1200 mAh battery, 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi with DLNA, HSDPA and HSUPA support, a built-in GPS receiver and a microSD card slot. Sony Ericsson has also decided to give its proprietary connector a miss and its been replaced by a microUSB port, which is covered by a protective lid.

Now that the X10 announcement is behind us, the focus is back on the upcoming Sony Ericsson ‘Kurara’, Satio’s little sister. The ‘Kurara’ will be launched under the Entertainment Unlimited banner and will be based on the Symbian S60 platform. According to rumors, the device will sport a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and HD-recording.
In all probability, the ‘Kurara’ will be launched at MWC next year and should be available in H1 2010.

Rumours are appearing online that Sony Ericsson are working on a scaled down version of Satio to be presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next year. The current chatter on the tubes is that it will also be S60 and feature a full touchscreen like Satio, but instead of a 12 MP camera it will sport an 8 MP camera. Apparently named Kurara (at least for the moment), the device is said to be part of the Entertainment Unlimited series.

Well here we go … only 8 days until Rachael is officially announced! Sony Ericsson have launched a teaser page with 3rd November given as the date of something new. Indeed Sony Ericsson pose the question “Sometimes there’s a thin line between the extraordinary and the magical. Did we cross it?”
Why is everyone so sure it’s Rachael? Well the source code for the page just so happens to mention Rachael by name. Sadly not the official desiganation, but it’s definitely Rachael. Actually, there’s more than one reference to ‘infinity’ on the page; an infinity symbol and the source code mentions “Rachael - infinity”. Hopefully ‘infinity’ is a tag line and not the name of Rachael … that just seems too cheesey.
So it looks like the long wait for Rachael is almost over …
