With recent news of HTC, Motorola, and Samsung working on some serious high-end phones, where does this leave Sony Ericsson? It looks like they may have a trick up their sleeve with the Nozomi. This phone was originally thought to be a Japanese market exclusive, but will now be available globally as their next flagship.

It is rumored to have a 1.4GHz processor and a 4.3-inch 720p display. It isn't confirmed whether the processor is single or dual-core, but I can't imagine it won't be the latter.

It will be launched in Japan as the SO-o2D, but its international model number is LT26i. There were rumors of the next flagship being the Xperia Duo. It is possible that Nozomi could be a codename for the Duo, or maybe the Nozomi will in fact have a single-core processor and the Duo will be the same device, but instead with a dual-core.

We will let you know more as we hear it.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
