Left my heart in Paris: Live photos of SE's "Paris" smartphone
If you read my blog you know I've been waiting on this one awhile now. The first live photos of Sony Ericsson's forthcoming "Paris" smartphone are online, and if you ask me they look good. The proof will be in the pudding - if Paris' touchscreen isn't responsive and easy to use, then it won't matter how good it looks. But I'm really liking the idea of a touchscreen slider with SE's compact QWERTY layout.
Also, it looks like Paris will sport a 5MP camera (with flash, I hope) and GPS. Sadly, there's no 3.5mm headphone jack yet to been seen on here. But if SE comes through with WiFi and US-spec 3G capabilities, this could be my next "Is it as good as iPhone?" candidate when it finally gets released sometime this Fall.
The pics are from Symbian-Forum, and you can get more on Paris over on the Se-nse.net forums.

Hands-on with Sony Ericsson's new flagship Walkman phone, the w980. It's a flip with 8GB of memory and a crazy clear plastic edge with glowing lights. SE added a SensMe™ program to the W980 that allows for the consumer to tell the phone their current mood and then listen to specific music they have set.
Noah stops by the Sony Ericsson booth to get a preview of the highly anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. With SE keeping quiet about price and U.S. carrier this touchscreen device offers an arch slider front screen to find your QWERTY keyboard hidden below. The main screen offers 9 active desktop panels that are easy to change keeping your favorite and most important shortcuts at your finger tips.

SE's profits dropped some 47 percent as compared to -- and sales were off 8% as compared to the same quarter one year ago and a whopping 29% or so from Q4 '07 (which, of course, is the busy holiday shopping season).
SE blames the massive drop in profits on high R&D costs as well as the declining average cost of handsets. According to SE data, the average handset... Live SE's booth at CTIA '08 without leaving your computer screen. Live music! Snacks! Bluetooth earphones! And phones, phones, phones!
I've been riding the rollercoaster of rumors and predictions waiting for Sony Ericsson's P5 "Paris" phone to materialize at long last. The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog has started posting photos and specs of what they claim to be the actual device, leaking a photo every few days over the past week or so.
So what's it look like? Well, it looks kind of like a cross between a Microsoft Zune and a slider phone, what with its large front display and bottom mounted jog dial. ...
