Sony Ericsson's Z660i in the flesh, maybe
We saw this pic back in December, and it turns out it was dragged out of a video on the Sony Ericsson site, wow, we're definitely liking what we've seen so far. The video is a demo tour of the supposed Z660i or "Becky" showing off a few of its features -- though no specs of course -- from the viewpoint of some sweaty gym-goer. Couple quick things we picked up, the handset features 3G, though the locales are European -- so we're ready for the bad news -- it may have GPS as Google maps is featured, plus it flips and looks sweet. We hoping we see more on this bad boy or perhaps even an announcement in the coming weeks. Video is available after the break.
Sony Ericsson Z660 looking more legit than ever
It's still bearing the now-famous "SE123" designation of a true Sony Ericsson prototype, but this slim flip -- allegedly the Z660 -- is looking more real than it ever has before and should do a halfway decent job of silencing a few naysayers (convincing folks that this is a good looking phone, though... well, that's another matter altogether). Unlike the last spy shot we saw, it seems that the Z660's exterior has been done up in a brushed metal of some sort, lending a small sliver of legitimacy to the premium price this model will likely command. We'll still withhold final judgment until Sony Ericsson says it's good and ready, but we're a little more encouraged now by the way this thing's shaping up than we were before.

Is this the Sony Ericsson Z660i?
We keep wavering between "we hope not!" and "we hope so!" in response to that question, but for the time being, the answer is under lock and key in a Sony Ericsson lab somewhere. We'll say this much: legit leaks out of Europe's number two manufacturer have come fast and furious this year, so we really wouldn't be terribly surprised if this one -- codenamed "Becky," they say -- turns out to be the legit Z660i. Rumored specs put this one on the upper end of Sony Ericsson's midrange with a 2 megapixel cam, 14mm shell, 3G, and some sort of wacky, stylish keypad design. Stay tuned, folks.[Via Cellpassion and Se-Society]
