Is Sony Ericsson working on a second Windows Mobile smartphone? If an image posted at Mobilewhack turns out to be genuine, the answer is maybe. The image shows the W1, a Walkman-branded smartphone with a large screen, a navpad, and a Windows Mobile 6 Pro screenshot. The image also lists select features of the device, which include a 6.1MP camera, a VGA screen and 32GB of onboard flash storage.
Sony Ericsson is already prepping its first Windows Mobile device, the XPERIA X1, for release as early as September, so a second WinMo handheld isn’t outside the realm of possibility. The image is labeled as a concept, however, which could mean that it’s nothing more than the offspring of a boring afternoon and a passing knowledge of Photoshop.
Rumor or reality, I’ll keep you posted.

aagh yum, when will this be in the shops in glasgow uk?
Pretty, huh? Very sleek looking device, for sure.
Around the board, the rumour seems to be ‘late September’ but that’s as close as we get right now and even that might just be wishful thinking — for the time being as far as I know, it’s just a small, fuzzy internal slideshow image and a dream.
I’ll be sure to let you know if I hear more wind of it!
Thanks for reading, Jill!
I believe tis is just a concept phone from the Sony Ericsson Concept Phone Design Competition. Don’t expect this to be released.
