mobilmania says the Sony Ericsson W42S, from Japan will be available for the GSM network as the W880.
ESATO NEWS
According to a leaked image shown on T-Mobile Czech website,the Sony Ericsson's W42S is listed as the W880 GSM model. Since its very easy to make a photoshop image like this,there is little chance of this rumour being real?but thats enough to get us excited anyway over the possibility of a Japanese Sony Ericsson handset heading to our shores.

1.3 megapixels?!? if they change the sensor to at least 2.0 and leave AF in it, i'm smelling a phone upgrade.... from my K800 (or downgrade, depending on how you look at it....)

This 3G (CDMA2000) slider also features a 1.3 megapixel cam, a 2.2-inch 262k color QVGA LCD, FM radio, an EPG to keep you hip to the TV schedule, and a feast of dedicated player controls including a new mechanical wheel unique to Walkman phone navigation.

Well those specs are from the original handset,the GSM version if it exists will proberbly be at least 2MP if not higher.
btw: I have already seen one of these on display at the New  store in london,so that might be a sign?

T-Mob screwed this one up big time, they let a phone leak way ahead of everyone else. just might announce this earlier than scheduled 
Can somebody work out a photoshop of those 4 front buttons and replace them with the (left softkey, internet, back) and (right softkey, activity menu, C) buttons? Makes sense, eh? As for that one button in the middle...
Methinks they might change the faceplate/keypad design somehow too, as in the K500 and F500
Just give me back my autofocus and I'm queueing up to get this on day one

Would be nice to have a music phone that looked like that it does look like a sony walkman mp3 player i bought earlier this year would help to identify certain models such as walkman or cybershot

I don't think so. What's the point? Too similar to the W850 and there's already going to be a a W610 for the lower mid-range.
SE's never released a phone worldwide and I don't expect it to IMO.

I keep on saying that they might've only used this image as a placeholder because of the lack of a press photo of the real W880i. |

Really, this is not coming. We can all hope, but no, the reality is no.
Already listed my reasons in the other thread.

Well, the W880 is confirmed as the Ai, SE never releases phones worldwide, and this phone has no place in the portfolio (W850 is the 3G slider, the W610 is the 2G slider).

aww cmon. not letting this thread reach 20+ pages before calling it off?
seriously, i like this phone. the unique music controls should be enough incentive for to piggy back and cash cow on. the mustve taken a lot of R&D. But if docomo or whatever jap operator has signed for exclusivity to the design then we're all out of luck.
here's hoping the next  gets identifiable music-centric controls, like how the vertical sliding lens covers conveys the whole cyber-shot message

"Its not a rumor. i work for a 3G netork in the uk and we are testing this handset now."
