You’re right! It’s Hikaru. As you know from this image, Hikaru will be awesome Walkman-branded slider phone with metal housing. Hikaru is high-end device and it got high-end features: 2.6? screen, 8-Mp camera, 8 GB memory, Walkman player 4.0, 3.5mm jack, stereo speakers and special music keys on the right side. This phone will be announced on the 15th of February (MWC 2009) and release will be in the end of Q2. I’am waiting for your comments.
Hikaru? 🙂
Hikaru!
Hotdamn, you’ve done it!
Some info on the specs, please… 😀
Ahhhh…So hot Max.
Thanks
It’s really nice and I hope that spot above screen would be secondary video call. 0==(D)
Say hello to Hikaru, 3.5 mm jack, 8 mp cam, aGPS, wifi, and all the other specs SEs have…
yeah i think it’s hikaru too….
cool… 8)
same request with synn
Specs please?!
hahaha~~~
Yeah,Hikaru is possible,nice screen,nice design.
Will Hikaru being called W990 or W770?
And also thx to Maximys to post such a good news! 😀
Hey max, does it have the new A300 platform? Also, is the 8GB memory on board+ a memory slot?
This looks amazing, especially the 2.6″ screen, lets just hope they dont ruin it by using Windows mobile or some crappy UIQ touch screen. Keep it with the normal S.E. operating system and this is a winner !!
i think SE should release a candy bar of hikary not a slide and it looks to me a plastic not high quality built.similar built w595 but with a high spec. ❗ ❗ ❓
let`s hope it appear with touch screen.i think it`s very good to have this feature on Hikaru 8)
to me, hikaru looks like w910 with metal housing. one thing I consider is that every sliding phone is sluggish unlike candybar one. i’m definitely want to see the live pics as it mentioned with metal housing. and i also wonder if this hikaru using Xenon flash or what. as I just tried the SE C905 taking incredible pictures with its Xenon Flash…. salute….
Is not Touch 🙁
Is the 8 gb internal or a M2 card? 16 gb would have been good, 8 gb isn’t enough SE!!!!
Is it touch screen? I don’t like touch screens, my W960 was very slow 🙁
Price? 500 euros?
Great!
Maximys, thank you!
It is the best news for me!
I want to know more about specs of Hikaru.
Extremely excellent. 🙂
Coooooooooooooool!!! It will be my next phone!!! SE rocks!!! 😀
thank’s
but…onestly
nothing new…
interestings are:WALKMAN 4,16M colors and jack…
Can Anyone confirm for sure if it will be touchscreen? If so, what OS might it run? Because UIQ will no longer be used, not so?
Hikaru = W905?
I’m afraid it won’t use xenon flash. 🙁
SE think that WALKMAN phones can play only music and cameraphone is good only to shoot photo…
no xeno for walkman,no jack for cybershot
and touch only for business…
this hikaru is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING
he seem awesome but only design,it can’t beat N95 of 2005
there is full specs on gsmarena and some of them are not so promising :/
Moving on, specs great, BUT design, poor very lack luster in many ways no inovation at all just a copy and pate look, every1 bases there phone on looks unfortuantley this isnt a head turner 🙁
Always the same new, old devices….WHY? 👿
Where is s.th. like the Nokia 5800 by SonyEricsson?? SE needs a touchscreen device with great design, good technical features and for a fair price, f.e. with Android OS. Such a device would be a bestseller for this lame duck called SonyEricsson. They could also take this new touchscreen walkman by Sony and build in there telephone / SMS functions, it would be a perfect phone with this “want to have” feeling, that only the Apple iPhone and now the Palm Pre could create so far….
My only wondering is where did you get the picture and info from… It’s just that the picture resembles very much to a concept, rather to a 3D model of an actual phone :-S
se rock. 😮 se rock.
A great phone but i will wait for the new xperia 😉
2.6 not.!!!!!
2.8 display … touch screen only
;-( ;-( ;-( ;-( ;-( ;-( ;-( ;-(
the same like other SE phones
Why don’t you wait to see the real phone (not a rendering) before you kill it?
ALL OF YOU CAN’T CREATE AN OPINION ONLY BY 1(!!) PICTURE!!! WAIT FOR THE MWC AND THEN SAY THAT IT IS “COPY & PASTE”!!! IT’S REAL “SONY STYLE”!! AND DON’T COMPARE IT WITH NOKIA AND ESPECIALLY SAMSUNG!!!!! THEY SUCKS!! 👿 and for the touch… it comes soon…
Hello All. The blog was down because of an unexpected error.
Hope everything is ok now.

Utada Hikaru? hahaha music phone alias based from a Singer makes sense to me 😀
This is my Future phone!!! ^ o^
do you think that the next g series is coming with a full touch screen like this hikaru ?
[…] Via: Semcblog […]
S.E. is always best for it’s quallity, specially all those walkmen series. But one thing is always missing and that is a 3.5 mm jack to listen music. Why there is no 3.5 mm jack like Nokia????????? Sony Ericsson should realese such a walkman phone with a 3.5 mm jack + 5/8 MPX camera with XENON Flash + QVGA Display + 8/16 GB Memory + good battery + should under 100 gm and not so dick. Hope very much that Hikaru will fulfill all these cryteria. Please Sony Ericsson please…………………. 👿 👿 👿 👿
please send total features of this newly launched mobile.. 🙂 🙂
When it comes to mobile phone, Sony Ericsson is the leader in terms of design, style, functions and size. They should be NUMBER ONE instead of competitor (Nokia). Really hope to see a powerful walkman phone with cybershot functions all integrated into one. I can’t wait to see this phone. It would be great if its touchscreen. Currently, I’ waiting for S.E. to launch something really great. 😀
Extremely innovative design, can’t wait for the official announcement.
Hikaru in Japanese means ray of light in English roughly I think.
to MAHESH:
GSMArena published all features on the article on their web site. listen the man who wrote it a few posts before. why no one listen to him.
they leaked it all, and you may see that u are wrong about the memory.
go and check the news…
I don’t believe the thing that gsmarena say. 🙄
edit : from gsmarena ” Sony Ericsson, Walkman, MWC 2009, Rumors”
Hey, It’s gonna be my next phone.. And to those who do not like this phone or Sony Ericsson, please stay away from this blog. For goodness sake Samsung, Nokia and LG is way behind.
to w960
i saw the phone a month ago, it’s 95% as on the picture and the features are the same as gsmarena wrote
You mean there is no internal memory ? I’m desapointed 👿 😡 🙁
and the kickstand is just like a tin opener 🙂
THU, how do you know all that? Does it have memory slot, internal or both?
What are the complete specs? So you have more pics? 😉
i saw the phone a month ago, that’s it. i told you. i don’t care you believe it or not. you’ll see the official pics and specs after a few days on MWC and you’ll know i was right.
i think what gsmarena wrote on their site is enough – 8gb card, gps, wi-fi, 8mp, qvga video, kickstand, non-smart OS, walkman 4.0, 3.5 jack, 2.6 screen, slider
THU, please can you tell us if you had seen some interesting phones from sony ericsson ? :-S
Can you put a 16 gb in it instead? Is it touch-screen?
