According to a Chinese-language newspaper “Commercial Times”, the HTC (“High Tech Computer” Corporation) will produce Windows Mobile - Smartphones for Sony Ericsson. The first device will appear in 2008 and in total it is planned to release about one million units.
The given information very strange and improbable as Sony Ericsson initially supports platform Symbian.

Volume shipments of the smartphone - Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile-based smartphone and HTC's first ODM orders from a first-tier handset vendor - are expected to top over one million units and to account for 10 - 20 % of HTC's total shipments projected for 2008.
Said the “Commercial Times”.

It is just a rumor, but for now, lets just wait and watch for the news and facts.

Sony Ericsson has patented own concept of the touch keyboard.
Similar decisions are widespread enough in one-screen mobile devices, since mobile phones appendices for Windows Mobile and finishing "revolutionary" interface Apple iPhone.


Samsung will have two touchscreen phones (P520; F700v), LG will soon have on market three touchscreen models (Prada; KU990; KS20), Nokia confirmed that he is gonna release something interesting with touchscreen next year, so we can suppose that soon enough Sony Ericsson gonna make something like iPhone or LG Prada, or maybe he's gonna integrate it in "PlayStation Phone"? I don't know, but I think it's gonna be something really good, in SE Style ;)
