Not too long ago Sony Ericsson gave us the first look at their Jalou fashion minded handset. At the time, the device didn’t look half bad considering it was all glamored up for the press images.

Today however, the same handset has found its way through the FCC from which the above picture comes, and I must say, what were the designers thinking? I mean, I could understand the fashion concious consumer going for the Dolce&Gabbana Jalou just because of the branding, but the oddly shaped device pictured above? Not so much.

It seems that the Sony Ericsson branded Jalou isn’t the only Jalou to hit the market as we have recently also learned of a Dolce&Gabbana branded handset of a similar form factor also marketed towards the fashion conscious demographic.

This special edition Jalou is essentially the same thing as the Sony Ericsson Jalou, with EDGE and 3D capabilities, but features several Dolce&Gabbana brandings including on the front of the phone and on the included headphones, as you can see above. Spec wise we are still looking at the 3.2MP camera with video recording, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, and a music player.

Just like it’s brethren, the Sony Ericsson Jalou, the Dolce&Gabbana Jalou will hit selected markets in Q4 of 2009.

Sony Ericsson has recently announced a new handset entitled the Jalou. Marketed towards the fashion concious, the Jalou features a facet-cut clamshell form factor along with an automatically updating user interface that changes to adapt to zodiac signs and special events year round. Color wise, you have the option to choose from Deep Amethyst, Aquamarine Blue or Onyx Black.

Under the hood you’re going to find GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UTMS/HSPA, a 3.2MP camera with video recording, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSD slot. Additionally, Sony will bundle Walk Mate step counter software that will “help you stay in shape wherever you go”.

Sony Ericsson’s Jalou is expected to hit store shelves in selected markets in Q4 of this year.

We’d like this picture to be a leaked shot of a certain upcoming touchscreen phone, the Sony Ericsson Jalou, but unfortunately it isn’t. The photo shows a modified W995 so we’ll have to wait for the real Sony Ericsson Jalou to come out.

On a different note, the Jalou will offer you a 3-inch touchscreen, WiFi support, HSDPA connectivity and it will run on Symbian S60 5th Edition. Anyone really interested in a Symbian Sony Ericsson phone?
