Sony Ericsson’s the P5i won’t be publicly unveiled until the middle of next year. At least that’s what forums on the normally reliable Esato are saying.
The P5i has long been the subject of intense speculation that Sony Ericsson was working on touchscreen smartphone to end all, well, touch-screen smartphones.
The slimline slider will feature a 2.5-inch screen, a five-megapixel camera, built-in GPS and wi-fi, HSUPA (Better than HSDPA), 128MB of RAM, a 360MHz processor and a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot. The most interesting feature could be the rumoured Symbian 9.3 OS and UIQ 3.2 interface that it runs on.
A post on Esato’s forums is now claiming that the P5i has been sent ‘back to the shop for retooling’.
Regardless of the expected specs, we have to say the device (if real) looks gorgeous. Sadly we’ll have to wait six months before we get more of a look at it.

Sony’s Walkman handsets have been given a significant memory boost with the release of 4GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) cards for Sony Ericsson phones.
As an added bonus, Sony’s new M2 cards will also come with a convenient M2 USB adaptor (right) for connecting to computers without Memory Stick card readers.
