    The last time we saw Sony Ericsson's Azusa, it was just a lonely blue line on a bar graph. Now it seems as if our little mystery handset might've actually become a real smartphone. There weren't a ton of specs to go off from that original leak, though the ST18i's 854 x 480 resolution does match up. Also on-board, according to this new info: Gingerbread, an 8MP camera, and an ARM Cortex-A8 1GHz Processor. The Esato message board also seems to have gotten its hands an ad featuring the CK15i, a keyboard-equipped slider phone with a 240 x 400 3.3-inch display. Add the recently leaked Cyber-Shot phone, and it's shaping up to be a nice, blurry year for Sony Ericsson. Image of the CK15i after the break. Update: Oops, so it turns out the Azusa is actually the already-announced Acro. As for the device pictured, Pocketnow says it's actually the Urushi, aka ST18a instead of ST18i.

    It doesn't matter how much you warn young phones about public benchmarking -- they just don't listen. An unannounced Sony Ericsson device, dubbed Azusa, was caught peeking out from behind an anonymous submission to the NenaMark Android GPU benchmarking tool. The resulting specs outed the device as a 854 x 480 resolution handset packing the same Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU as the Xperia Arc. Unsurprisingly, the Azusa's single-test benchmark stats are about on par with its bigger brother, leaving us wondering -- what does the newbie bring to the table?
