New Sony Ericssons coming tomorrow, plus an iPhone competitor in Nov?

Se 75pxThat’s according to the often-reliable Esato forums, which were updated over the weekend with several juicy bits of Sony Ericsson gossip…

  • Possible for tomorrow is a new Cyber-shot cameraphone, codenamed ‘Victoria’, which will have a 1.9″ QVGA (240 x 320 pixel) screen, and come in five colourways, including mocha and purple. It will potentially ship with a 128MB Memory Stick Micro card (seems a bit small).
  • Also possible for tomorrow is the clamshell that was recently spotted in the wild, plus another phone which Esato calls ‘Veronica’.
  • The P1’s big sister, the rumoured P3, will have (as previously rumoured) a 2.8″ VGA screen, GPS, a 5MP camera, HSUPA, run the UIQ OS version 3.2 or 4. Expect it to be announced sometime in the autumn.
  • Before the current version has even reached the UK high street, an update to the K850i Cyber-shot may be on the way. New features are said to include DVB-H mobile TV support, a sliding lens cover, and GPS.
  • ‘Mooi’, a direct competitor to the iPhone, may appear on 15th November, alongside two other phones which are codenamed ‘Akiko’ and ‘Lena’.
  • Version 5 of the PlayNow mobile music store could also be announced on 15th November.

All told, the last half of 2007 could be happy times for Sony Ericsson fans.
