Me too am confused about that. In CES, the official announcement of splitting of SONY and ERICSSON was made (source: PA) and some new devices were announced like Sony Xperia Ion. But, to my surprise, in the first images of the phone from CES posted by PA, I still saw that ERICSSON persistent. I couldn't make head or tail of it.

I hope PA will do away with that confusion that has struck on its readers like me!

not bad but the keyboard looks like that on the Kin 2 and it felt like it was built by Playskool.

Was the last sentence of the article just added or did you all not read the whole thing?
Looks like a nice phone. I'd like to see Sony make a high end slider for android

Like "Julie", this prototype will probably not see the light of day. SonyEricsson already announced way back 2010 they will not release any WP7 phones. Unless of course, Sony (not saddled anymore with Ericsson) decided to reverse that decision. In any case, if released, this will only be the 2nd WP7 phone with a physical qwerty keyboard so maybe a good way to come into the WP7 arena. But this might be the Xperia X2 with an updated Mango OS

Would love to see a Sony effort for WP. Their is a lot of excitement about their products now that they are not saddled with a partner that is only halfway onboard. Be nice to see them compete for both Android and WP.

Side sliding keyboard and wp7 don't go well together . Side sliding keyboard and android do go well together . Well I hope this sports a 12mp camera like on the satio and LTE

folks Nokia has a following in Japan maybe Windows smart phones are selling well enough in Japan for Sony to make just one model to cash in and make a profit. The
Nokia 900 has sent shock waves out already. Other countries are calling out to sell
the Nokia made for America Nokia Lumia 900 and it will probably sell better overseas then in America because that is were Nokia market strength is Remember Nokia is an international Company

Sony supporting Windows Phone?
Very little chance, as WP has Xbox Live which is competition to Playstation Network.
Even so if Microsoft remove Xbox Live, i'm not sure they would be willing to support WP.
