Last November we heard about a rumor that said that Sony Ericsson is planning to launch an ultra thin phone. Recently, pictures have been circulating that seem to support that rumor. Available images of the prototypes/test models show thin keys on the keypads, reminiscent of the P990’s external keypad design. A picture of the handset from another angle shows just how thick this phone promises to be. We’ll all just have to wait to get our hands on a real unit to gaage just how comfortable it is in our hand. The following list of features is what we’d like to hope will be included in the W880i’s arsenal: - Messaging (SMS, MMS, email, IM, PTT) SMS, MMS 1.2, OMA push email not, IMPS 1.1 - WAP/Web-Browser Netfront Access 3.3 - Java/ Games (embedded/3D) Yes (MIDP 2.0) / Yes - DRM OMA DRM 2.0 - RDM OTAP 7.1, OMA DM 1.2, OMA-CP 1.1 - Interfaces USB 2.0, BT 2.0 (A2DP) - 2 megapixel camera - 1.8″ 256K colours 240 x 320 pixel TFT QVGA screen - Video player/Streaming Yes/Yes, H.263, MPEG-4, H.264 playback - Video telephony via additional VGA camera near earpiece - Walkman music player 2.0 - Ringtones (supported codecs) MP3, eAAC+ - 32 MB internal memory + 1 GB MS Micro bundled - Triband (900/1800/1900)+UMTS 2100 - GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA class GPRS (class 10)/UMTS - 300 hours of Standby time, 7 hours of Talk time (GSM, UMTS: 3 hours) - Dimensions 102 x 46.5 x 9.4 mm - Weight (g) less than 80g The W880i or AI is rumored for launch sometime next month. We’ll have to wait and see.
