14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Ericsson Paris (also known as P5 or P5i) is one of those mobile phones that can make waves, big waves, even before official details about it are unveiled.
While Sony Ericsson is being quiet about Paris, as the Swedish-Japanese company mentioned absolutely nothing regarding the new handset, leaked photos with the high-end phone continue to appear, raising the interest of mobile enthusiasts.
The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, where the first Paris photos appeared, now made public other two pictures with the unconfirmed (yet) phone.
Until now, we only got to see Paris closed, but the new images show it opened, unveiling its full QWERTY keypad (which resembles the one of Sony Ericsson P1, the smartphone released back in 2007).
The first image with the slid Paris is a hands-on one and it shows the phone looking very stylish. This confirms our hunch that Paris has a design that makes it attractive either closed or opened. The second new image, though, doesn't seem to be a real one, but rather a Photoshop creation, first of all because the video-call camera that appears on the front case of Paris (in the real images) can't be seen here. Anyway, the first photo is probably enough to get you more interested in finding out further details about the new slider.
Details that, for the moment, are only rumors and we can't take them as being 100% correct. Although it was said Paris has a VGA touchscreen display, this might not prove to be true, so we could only get a touchscreen with a QWGA resolution. Anyway, the other (not confirmed) details remain unchanged: 3G, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS, Google Maps, UIQ 3.3 interface and a 5 Megapixel camera with protecting lens cover.
All in all, Paris seems to be the next big hit of Sony Ericsson, together with Xperia X1. Let's wait now for it to become official.
