Sony Ericsson Emelie

A new Sony Ericsson phone to be release soon is codenamed “Emelie.” Not much specs about Sony Ericsson Emelie are known as of now, although sources reveal that the Emelie is a low or a mid-end phone with a 2-megapixel camera with no auto-focus, no GPS or WiFi, and in a metal casing. It is supposedly similar to the Sony Ericsson K530i. Liked the leaked new phones before which preceded the official announcements by a few days, I surmise it won’t be long before we get to have the official word about the Emelie.
