The much-anticipated successor to Sony Ericsson's P800 shows up in a Flash movie on the Sony Ericsson web site, only to be removed shortly thereafter.
Sony Ericsson introduces P900
Following the exposure of a device named the Sony Erisson P810 by Orange last month, Sony Ericsson this week made a Flash movie available on its web site which apparently showed the successor to its P800 wireless handheld. However, as word of its existence spread around enthusiast web sites, Sony Ericsson swiftly removed the movie from its web site - although not swiftly enough to prevent screen captures from being made.

The movie, which was only available from Sony Ericsson's web site for a short period of time, offers a plot where a man enters an apartment with the purpose of celebrating an event with his girlfriend. Having prepared flowers and champagne, he then proceeds to lock himself out on the terrace and resorts to the P800 successor to send a picture of a flower to his girlfriend's iMac, subseqently booking a flight to Paris and sending a message to his girlfriend's Sony Ericsson T610 to hint of the surprise in store for her when she arrives at the apartment.

Although the device shown in the Flash movie is not mentioned by name, it obviously shares many of the physical attributes of the Sony Ericsson P800, such as its size and shape, the UIQ platform and a touch-sensitive display. Its visual style, however, is quite distinct from the P800 and is entirely based on graytones.

Information previously published by Orange concerning a "Sony Ericsson P810" device contained references to the resolution of the display still being 208 x 320 pixel, and the type of LCD being a 16-bit colour TFT. Similarly, the physical measurements of 158 g and 115 x 57 x 23 mm are only marginally different from those of the P800. Orange in mid-August declined to offer any comment on whether the information published on its web site was correct, however said it had been wrongly published and would be removed shortly.
