Back in October last year, the Sony Ericsson Twiggy was spotted for the first time in the wild, and now it seems that the mobile phone has once again surfaced to the Web, this time in an official photo that came around along with the launch of the new Sony Ericsson MS500 Outdoor Speaker.

The Sony Ericsson Twiggy mobile phone is reported to come as a new addition to the company's Walkman lineup, yet not just any such device, but the follower of the unique clamshell W350 that was announced at the beginning of last year. As the successor of W350, the new Twiggy is reported to be one of the most popular devices released by the mobile phone maker this year.

For what it's worth, the new Walkman handset might see a lot of traction from users in case it is released to the market at the beginning of the second quarter of the year, as the news suggested. It seems that the new Twiggy handset should come to the market featuring two colors, the main one being black with green touches.

As the successor of the Walkman flip-phone W350, the Sony Ericsson Twiggy should also bear a flip design, but include higher features, such as a display capable of delivering a 240 x 320 pixel resolution, or a Walkman player 3.0. In addition, the device should also sport a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper.

If the new Sony Ericsson Twiggy phone is to be released on the market in early second quarter, we should soon be able to learn some more info on it. Hopefully, it will indeed prove to be a great Walkman handset and it will become the popular device it is expected to turn into. Stay tuned to learn more details as they surface.
