I think SE/Sony are just trying to play their cards right, Android is the safest bet and WP7.5 doesn't allow customizations. I heard one time that MS has granted Nokia some rights to modify the WP7's UI but as we saw from the two Lumias there wasn't any changes.
Sony should try making phones using other form factors as well. clamshell or sliders(vertical/horizontal) are rare breed nowadays. besides the designs had been really boring compared from before even though SE had the most unique design among its class. the revival of dual front would be very welcomed

OT: For me, this Sony Ericsson ad for walkman phones was the best:

I don't think Sony will meddle with Windows just yet, probably later this year. They need to get
settled first so they'll go with the tried and tested. lets hopet he UI is killer
Thx a lot KARUN
This Ad Brings back all the Best  Memories .. LOVE THIS AD
Miss those WALKMAN and CYBERSHOT days   |

Yep this is Arc/Arc S but this combined with previous rumor that Arc`s succesor will have less letters in it`s name we can suggest it would be just Xperia HD. |

I would love to see a flip phone similar to the Sharp 007SH Hybrid, but for the global market
Considering Sony's release of the Tablet P, and numerous other unusual form factors across devices such as the VAIO laptops, I think something like this is more likely to come from them then anyone else. |

Is the reason for the price drop on the XPlay to make way for the XPlay II?

With ps vita just released and sonyericsson becoming more "sony", play 2 is rather unlikely. |

Play2 is now more likely than ever. There is the iPod and its more expensive brother with GSM abilities called iPhone. They live together and the same games work on both. Yes, iPod is a game console. Why don't you think Sony will do the same by making a phone with Vita hardware? People would have a choice then - buy cheaper console or get both in one device a phone and Vita. |

Far from it being unlikely - smartphones are highly profitable and Playstation is a very powerful brand. Now Sony has full control of the mobile arm it looks more likely than ever.

@pawfyd. Apple and Sony are companies with very different strategies. Its not like they sit at the lunch table together and decide to make similar decisions.
Predictions - Arc successor, Neo successor and MAYBE something new(wild card to keep things interesting). |

I think the same as you for CES, but for the next event, the one in Barcelona (forgot the name), I see a X8/Ray sucessor, Mini Pro sucessor and a Pro sucessor.
I don't get people. Never Have, never will. |
