The Sony Ericsson P910 is real....we think

Sony Ericsson P910

These haven't been confirmed as pics of actual working models rather than mockups (they do seem to have a touch of the Photoshop to them), but some photos of Sony Ericsson's unreleased P910 smartphone have turned up that seem to jibe with those illustrations that leaked out a couple of months ago. As expected, the P910 improves on its predecessor, the P900, by adding a flip-out QWERTY keyboard. The only thing is that the keyboard actually looks more or less impossible to use (how exactly would you hold the phone when you're typing?), and it almost seems like someone at Sony Ericsson just decreed that one be tossed in there without really thinking about its usability. Maybe they've been feeling the heat from palmOne's Treo 600 and Motorola's forthcoming MPx, both of which have mini-keyboards.

Anyway, the official announcement about this is supposedly this coming Thursday, but we haven't heard enough of the usual pre-announcement rumblings to feel confident that it's really gonna happen then.
