I know spy pics never do justice to the actual phone, but whatever that is, it looks very un-SE. Too block-ish and not following
design.

That looks like it means business - looks like nothing in the current portfolio. Look at the music buttons, at the TOP of the phone?
And going by the 3.5mm jack it looks to be about 12mm with human curvature tapering down to the bottom of the phone.
Is that a
symbol on the power button that has been removed?

As long as nothing is confirmed, Sony Ericsson stays. I wouldn't pay a lot of heed to what the rumour mills say. I believe SE is here to stay. Lets hope it kicks ass next year!

Me too. They should come roaring back in 2012. The device above looks like a quality product to me already.

I hope that becomes reality by end of next year but I am beginning to have doubts. They should've made a statement to the contrary if the rumour wasn't true.
Anyway, that W23i looks like some serious walkman phone or is it a phone, of course, judging by the limited view of the photo itself.
I agree with FMW300i, from that angle it looks like nothing SE would design. Could this be a Sony walkman instead? The design does lend itself to a Sony style of design.
Hold on, what am doing in this thread again?

That made me laugh so much Dups!
Yeah, it does look like a Sony Walkman but wouldn't the camera aperture but an unusual feature for a Walkman only device?

+1. On the articles in swedish press alot of people from Ericsson commented saying they havent heard a thing. I imagine at least something would have slipped out by now. They also said Sony is still treating SE like a bastard child but it has gotten better. apperently Sony had a lot of control when Dick was CEO, look how that went
Isn't that what I and a few other members have been saying about Sony holding back SE?
Alright, alright, I admit it! I just can't stay away from this thread.

Aaah, I didn't think of the camera, good point. In that case, it is more of an SE phone with Sony desing elements.
I would love to see the whole phone. Come on Sony, hand this baby your true walkman hardware cause from that angle it looks like a really high-end walkman phone.

That Walkman device looks pretty cool but I want a Cybershot. Hope it has a big sister with sexy curves
I think it's obviously a
logo on the big button on top and it isn't a power button, but rather a hard-key to the music player. The styling looks a lot like the MW600 accessory (which shipped with the X1 didn't it?) if it were to be blown up to a handset size..

There are a couple of issues with Sony buying out Ericsson!
Patents - Do you really think Ericsson with all those patents would sell them and having nothing left for themselves? If they sell those mobile patents there's pretty much nothing left. Ericsson stands really strong with these patents and I doubt that they would sell them to Sony and Sony needs those patents to be able to secure their future mobile sales.
This is not the first time I've heard this rumour, it keeps coming back year after year!
Ericsson wouldn't have to sell their mobile patents but rather let Sony license them exclusively and leave the Ericsson name on the handsets (optional).
That way Sony can have the control they want over designs and direction, bringing it closer to the Sony family of products, take the lion share of the profits and give back to Ericsson for patent backup.
I actually don't see much to get in the way of a 'takeover', although it may just be a significant shift in shares with maybe Sony taking 80% and Ericsson 20%.
