It’s funny how companies try to keep new products under wraps, and sometimes the most innocent of things reveals them. This time, it’s the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 device, a Windows Mobile phone slated for a September 2008 release. That may seem far away, but for those eagerly waiting for the device - you know it’s worth it.

The news was leaked thanks to Handango’s newsletter. The Xperia X1, which will come with Handango’s InHand service built-in, features a WVGA resolution screen (800×480 pixels). Obviously, the phone will be available in multiple languages.

One more Sony Ericsson leak for the day, the daftly codenamed “beibei.” It looks like the guys over at Yesky were able to get their hands on an actual device, based on the quality of the pictures available. There isn’t much detail available on the device, unlike the P5 and G502 we reported on earlier but what is known is that beibei belongs to the Walkman series from SE and will run on Symbian OS 9.3 with the new UIQ 3.3 user interface (with Demand Paging support). The device has a display smaller than the usual touchscreen phones and curiously more buttons than is the norm for a touchscreen smartphone. Also, from one of the pictures, we can see that the phone does have WiFi connectivity. That’s about it as far as the details go about this mysterious device.

Of course, nothing can be confirmed until the official announcement by Sony Ericsson in the future, and we will be sure to let you know when they do. Meanwhile, take a look at some more pictures of “beibei” after the break.

A new Sony Ericsson phone to be release soon is codenamed “Emelie.” Not much specs about Sony Ericsson Emelie are known as of now, although sources reveal that the Emelie is a low or a mid-end phone with a 2-megapixel camera with no auto-focus, no GPS or WiFi, and in a metal casing. It is supposedly similar to the Sony Ericsson K530i. Liked the leaked new phones before which preceded the official announcements by a few days, I surmise it won’t be long before we get to have the official word about the Emelie.

Realizing it couldn’t stop at being pink, the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman phone is now available in a new and fresher color — jungle green. It looks a bit tacky in my eyes — like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in the guise of a cellular phone. But then again, tastes vary, and I’m sure many would find this color scheme preferable. If you’re forgotten, the original Sony Ericsson W580i is a simple white music phone with 2-megapixel camera.
