I understand this has been posted in the rumours thread, however after the Xperia range announcement many people do not look there any more, silly lock.

Sony Ericsson is planning to bring the Walkman brand back to a smartphone device, if we're correctly interpreting a not-very-subtle advert from the brand.

The marketing poster was published by Android Community, which has also had word that Sony Ericsson is gearing up for a 2011 launch for the mystery Walkman handset.



It bears the tag line, "A smarter Walkman phone is coming soon."

You don't need a degree in reading between the lines to work out what that means, but you may need a masters in precognition to tell us any more than that.

There's no sign of any specs or the design of the upcoming Walkman phone yet, although we would say that a media focus is a given - to this end we'd expect a decent GPU and a top-of-the-range Bravia-powered display.

While it'd be nice to see Walkman make its comeback on Android, the mystery handset joining Sony Ericsson's Xperia Android line-up could be a case of too many brands spoiling the broth.

Walkman Android MAY BE FAKE

Update: Reliable commenter Lollylost100 suggests that this image may be fake. He has had a close look at the make.believe graphic and shows that there is a difference between the one below and the official one (mainly with the font in the letter ‘a’).

The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand...
