We know this phone has been rumored since May 2007, but SonyEricsson not confirm this rumor till now. We forgot this rumor and chalked up as a probable fake. Now look at image above. From the thumbnail leaked from MSN China, the P3i might be a variant based on the Elena prototype (viz P1i) that we have seen since the dawn of civilization.
This screen shot listing the P3i as a model in Sony Ericsson’s stable — bizarre white / purple color combo and all. The model number would lead us to believe that this is a step up from the P1i, and although it’s obviously a UIQ-equipped device if it’s real, we’re not really seeing how it’s a clear-cut upgrade. Anyway, as far as we’re concerned, this whole page could be fake, MSN China could’ve just picked an old P3i spy shot off the web, or maybe — just maybe — it’s real.
