An industry source some hours ago told none other than Reuters that Sony Ericsson is working on a super slim high end Walkman model with camera (or Cybershot with MP3, if you will), whose codename is taken from Japaneese tennis player Ai Sugiyama (the original story says the phone itself is inspired by her, but we just don’t get that). Everybody seems to be calling it the Motorola RAZR-killer, but the more featured Sony Ericsson M600 already went that slim, at 15mm versus the RAZR’s 14, and the RAZR was a clamshell anyway. It is supposed to be unveiled in Q1 2007, and will be available in black and silver. Check inside this post for some suspiciously cardboard-looking spyshots. Anybody want to bet for any Swedish tennis player for the next rumour? [Via Reuters and Se-nse, thanks Bee87 for the pics]
