Well, well, what we thought to be a mid-range Cybershot phone might have a trick up its sleeve after all.  We already know about its 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.2-inch QVGA display, accelerometer, and that nifty YouTube upload feature, but what we missed the last time is the direct integration of Facebook in the Sony Ericsson C510, a first for any cell phone right now.  According to mobile.se, once it is installed and launched, the Facebook app will be able to retrieve relevant data from Facebook and provide features like viewing friends’ status, photos, the user’s groups, and also directly upload a picture to the user’s Facebook account.

Go here to watch Facebook Mobile in action (Swedish) or you could wait till this coming Sunday, when Sony Ericsson and Facebook will reportedly go public during a press conference in Barcelona.

Sony has been preparing a new cellphone with an odd name - Kate - and according to the folks at the Unofficial SonyEricsson Forums, the device has been spotted on the wild! Sadly there aren’t any “real” photos of Sony Kate, but you can take a look at the sketch to fulfill your curiosity.

As far as we can tell, The SonyEricsson Kate has a 3.2-megapixel camera (and not 5MP like stated before) with a special feature which is the dual LED flash. On the camera details there still is a smile shutter and an active cover for the lens.

Much like what happens with other SE cellphones, there are some dedicated keys located on the side, which are supposed to be used for the camera and video functionalities.

Sony Ericsson is working on a new Cybershot camera phone. The handset, codenamed Kate, is said to be similar to the C902 Cybershot and it will be coming out sometime in October for 300 Euro or $450.

Here’s what you can expect from it this mid-range phone:

• 5 megapixel Camera with Xenon Flash, Auto Focus, and Smile Shutter
• No front camera for video calling
• Switch button between Still & Video as well as a button to access gallery of images you just taken
• No GPS
• EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
• Sony Ericsson’s Java Platform 8.4

We’re just have to wait and see where it’s going to hit first!
