The number of leaked and unannounced phones from Sony Ericsson is continuously growing these days and besides the C905 8 Megapixel Cyber-shot and the so-called Alicia music phone we now have the F305, which is part of a brand new line-up of handsets that will probably be named "Fun".

In fact, I'm almost sure that "Fun" is going to be the name of the next SE family of phones, since the Swedish-Japanese company has already unveiled this (involuntarily or not), during the opening of its flagship store from Taiwan. So, along with the Cyber-shot, Walkman, Radio or Xperia line-ups, we'll soon get to see Sony Ericsson Fun handsets.

The first device from the Fun series could be Sony Ericsson F305, since details about it leaked recently on the Web. Its full list of features is not known yet, but apparently the handset will be some sort of a mini-console for playing games while on the go, hence it will come with dedicated gaming buttons. Also, were we to believe a Photoshop-made image that is said to represents the F305, the phone has a slider form factor. Furthermore, rumors say the F305 won't be a high-end device, but only a mid-to-low one, with features that include, besides gaming capabilities, FM radio, stereo speakers and other things meant to bring "fun" to its users.

Well, if the F305 does indeed look like in the Photoshop image, I assume it will have lots of fans among young users. After all, they're the ones who have the most "mobile fun".

While still far from the rumored PSP phone that Sony Ericsson is working (or should be working) on, the F305 seems, for the moment, a pretty nice handset. We're now waiting for June 17, when Sony Ericsson will present some of its new phones and, maybe, the F305 among them.
