Sony Ericsson is working on a new Cybershot model, a k750 successor, codenamed Kate.
For the moment, there’s little information available about this handset, but we have been able to find a few things about its specs along with some blurry photos, which might prove to be fake.

Sony Ericsson is preparing to release two square-ish handsets, codenamed Kumiko and Eian.
Sony Ericsson Eian is said to be the Walkman version of Kumiko / G705 (thus, it should be officially named Sony Ericsson W705). For the moment, there are no pictures available with the Eian, but the handset is rumored to have a form factor similar to the new Sony Ericsson Kumiko / G705 slider. As for its features, these should also be like the ones of the G705, but with more goodies on the music side.
At the moment, there are no official details about the handset, but it shouldn’t take long for Sony Ericsson to fully present it.
