Official-looking teaser image for the Sony Honami appears, launch pegged for September 4

Having gone through an extensivechecklist of leaks, ranging from specs,through actual device images down to UI peeks, today marks the day wereceive the first allegedlyconfirmed launch date for the Sony Honami, and there's even more.

Anofficial-looking teaser image for the Sony Honami has been outed onthe forum boards of Chinese Digi Wo.As you can probably make out from the images in the gallery below,the almost completely veiled teaser is a departure from what we'vebeen expecting, vis-a-vis an Xperia Z-esque design. An elegant purpleline stretches the profile of the Honami, along with a considerablymore rounded profile than we were expecting. The good folks over atthe XPERIA Blog haveprovided some close-ups that reveal the power button that's featuredon all the latest Sony Xperia smartphones, along with a flap ofunknown purpose.

Of course,there's no telling whether this image has been fabricated or not, sowe'd take this with a grain of salt if we were you. If we're todisregard this disclaimer, though, it would appear that we may verysoon have significantly more to go on: the launch is pegged forSeptember 4 and set to take place in Berlin, Germany.
