Today Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia Pureness, a phone more focused on design than on technology–to use their words, “talk, text, time - a holiday from technology.” Huh? Yeah, I think I get it, wait, nope, they lost me there. Even the name is kinda “wonky”. I mean, who names a phone “Pureness”? Oh yeah, I forgot, this phone is part of their new “make.believe” brand so I guess they can name it whatever the heck they want. Good thing it looks kind of cool. Right now we don’t have any specs but expect more details as we get closer to the November 2009 launch. Until then, let’s make believe it’ll have some awesome specs.

To little to no fan fare, AT&T finally launched Sony Ericsson’s C905a yesterday. It’s $179.99 after a 2-year and $50 mail-in-rebate. The phone has been on the market in other regions for some time so the news of its arrival to the states although welcome, is rather moot. But of note it is AT&T’s first 8 megapixel camera phone and include GPS, a Xenon flash, music player and a 2.4-inch 320×240 LCD.

With little to no info to confirm said rumor, Sony Ericsson is said to be working on a follow up to the Xperia, the X2. This info was supposedly confirmed by Skyhook’s CEO Ted Morgan, but since they don’t actually make any devices - they provide a location based service - its perhaps a good idea that we file this away under rumor until we hear otherwise.
Worst case scenario, perhaps Gigaom made a typo?
PS I have no clue where that picture came from but it could be the next Xperia based on form factor alone
