If you haven't already heard, a new Paris has been hogging the tech headlines lately. While the Paris (Hilton) we know so well (and too well from her sex tape exploits) is apparently turning over a new leaf, this other Paris is a rumored upcoming smart phone from Sony Ericsson.
According to an article on USEB a.k.a. the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, the new handset codenamed Paris is said to be a slim slider with a large touchscreen display. The back of the phone is metallic, while a sliding lens cover protects a 5-megapixel camera sensor. It will sport multifunctional QWERTY keys much like Sony Ericsson's P1i touchscreen smart phone, and features standard Bluetooth and 3G as well as onboard Wi-Fi and GPS. Paris will run on the Symbian UIQ 3.3 platform, with Mobile Opera 9.5 Web browser and Google Maps also preinstalled.
From the blurry image (supposedly captured from a video) posted, this Paris reminds us of the LG Chocolate with its touch-sensitive directional keypad, though it does seem slightly wider and features a round navigation control instead of a square one.
As expected, our Sony Ericsson contact in Asia gave us a "no comments on future products" response when contacted about the Paris. That said, with the source coming from USEB which has proven to be fairly accurate with upcoming Sony Ericsson product releases, we have a feeling we'll be hearing more of Paris sooner than you can say Hilton.
