Sony Ericsson has confirmed the existence of the W999i phone model. This slider has been listed on the GSM association website, linking to Sony Ericsson's product page.

Some leaked images of the Sony Ericsson W999i have been arousing people's interest on this new phone concept for some time now. Still few things have been known about it. Nothing new has been revealed about its performances, as the HSPA site has revealed nothing more than the mobile phone's existence.

Still, there are some things that are known about the phone model, although nothing is official about it. It comes with HSDPA support and several multimedia features that will bring high quality entertainment to its users. The most interesting aspect about it is probably the fact that it features the new QWERTY keypad that Sony Ericsson has developed for some of their latest phone models.

Sony Ericsson W999i is only 12.5 mm thick and has an elegant, model design. What probably adds most to its look is the impressive 2.4 inch QVGA screen capable of displaying up to 262 k colors. Pictures will look beautiful on it, especially those taken with the 2 megapixel-integrated camera. Another entertainment feature coming from this Walkman phone is an FM radio, although it will most probably come with a considerable memory space in order to allow its user to store a large amount of music files that will be rendered at high audio quality.

For the time being, Sony Ericsson has not officially acknowledged the existence of this phone model and is far from launching it. The fact that it has been included in the list of phone models on the HSPA site is only an accident and can not be considered an announcement of a future release, but a certainty that Sony Ericsson W999i will surely be available sometime in the future.
