Engadget: hesitates to call these legit press shots -- as we've said before, Sony Ericsson fans are world-renowned for their capacity for high-quality fakery -- but German site mobiFlip.de has posted a bunch of renders of the so-called Shakira that look very possibly real to Engadget.
Pocket-Lint - Sony Ericsson has made some fantastic devices in the past. In fact, our illustrious mobile phone ownership started with the likes of the Sony Ericsson T39 and T68i (with the clip-on camera module) and we’ve still got a T610 kicking around the office, not to mention the likes of the W995, perhaps the last great Walkman phone.
Pocket-Lint: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 takes the UI we saw on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini and flips it over to a device with a 3-inch screen. It shares the same design as the Xperia X10, so falls neatly between the X10 and X10 mini – we’re surprised Sony Ericsson didn’t call it the X10 midi.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is set to be launched by O2 in September and at least one online retailer has started taking preorders on the phone albeit at a rather steep price.
