With the Paris, Shiho, Alicia, BeiBei, and this F305 all seemingly scooped at this point, what else could Sony Ericsson possibly have up its sleeve for its big contest next Tuesday? Odds are they don’t have much left in the tank — but with the breadth of models expected on the stage, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. What you see in this place isn’t an actual picture of the F305, but the concept sketch is said to represent “80%” of what the actual device will look like, a gaming-focused low to mid-end slider with an FM radio and stereo speakers. There’s more engaging attention hardware without doubt dropping on the 17th that’ll more desperately deserve our attention, sure, but as cheap sliders go, this could be a winner. See what we did there? It’s a gaming handset. You know, “winner.” Never mind.

Paris who? Sony Ericsson’s let yet another one slip out of its fingers before the official announcement, this time around a killer slider said to be the Cyber-shot C905, codenamed “Shiho.” If the unverified information pan out, it’s got one heck of a rap sheet, too, starting off with an 8.1 — yes, eight point flippin’ one — megapixel camera with Bot. xenon and LED flashes (for still and video capture, respectively), GPS, TV out, DLNA certification, and HSDPA in your choice of European and American flavors. The screen’s apparently just QVGA, but in light of everything else we’re hearing, we might just be willing to let that slide. It’ll apparently be declare on the 17th of the month in gold, silver, and black for a fourth quarter release. Wowza!

If you just can’t get enough news about Sony Ericsson’s forthcoming Symbian UIQ touchscreen phone — currently known as Paris — perhaps this promo video of the thing in action can help. Sure, these appears to be pre-renders, but it does whet the appetite for things to come with the device, and who can complain about that pop-up weather app and confirmation that this will have a flash for its camera? Also, the dude in the clip sports a totally stylish cardigan. Watch the whole thing after the break and see for yourself.
