Oh, goodie! SEMCBlog has it that Sony Ericsson is priming a fall announcement for tomorrow, the 6th of November. Certainly enough, it was this day last year when SE introduced a trio of new handsets, so we’d say the timing sounds just about perfect. Curious as to what’s coming? A little birdie has dropped off signs that a W705 (pictured) will be the star of the show, with a Orange-exclusive W705u and a mysterious MBS-900 accessory tagging along. Concerning February-bound W705 slider, we’re told it’ll boast a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, 3.2-megapixel camera, 120MB of internal memory, a 4GB M2 card (included), Walkman 3.0 UI, Shake control and two motifs to choose from (Luxury Silver and Passionate Red). All’s that needed at this time is a dash of official and a pinch of expected pricing.

Steve Ballmer definitely gets around, last month taking a trip to the UK just to mock Android, this month heading all the way to Korea to praise Samsung’s new T*Omnia. He says it’s “at the forefront of this new generation of mobile devices,” and digs how it “brings together communications, productivity, multimedia, and entertainment in a way that meets the needs of Bot. consumers and mobile professionals.” We think he’s most fond of its operating system (WinMo 6.1), but must admit we’re smitten by the handset too — especially its 800 x 480 screen. That’s more than twice the resolution of the older Omnia, which by the sounds of it will be released in the US sometime this month. Samsung didn’t actually say which Omnia, but since it’s the older one that’s been FCC approved don’t go holding your breath for WVGA goodness. Lucky Koreans, meanwhile, can expect the T*Omnia to start being served up by SK Telecom on November 20.

TmoNews is claiming that the TouchWiz-enabled Samsung Behold is scheduled for a November 10 launch on T-Mobile, and by golly, with the lookalike Delve at this time out and about, we hope they’re right. Notable (read: awesome) features on the Behold allegedly include user-adjustable touch sensitivity, a 5-megapixel cam, GPS, and — unlike that ZN5 that just launched — 3G data. That’s an especially good thing considering the full HTML browser and a disappointing dearth of WiFi, we reckon. It’s no smartphone, but for the T-Mobile types looking for just a little (okay, a lot) more style than the G1’s putting up, this might just be what the doctor ordered.
