Sony Ericsson "Lizzy" to follow up M600i?

It's hard for us in the new country to get too worked up over the successor to a phone we never got in the first place, but alas, we still wouldn't mind putting Sony Ericsson's creative text entry system through its proper paces. This here is allegedly the "Lizzy," successor to the M600i UIQ smartphone that's been kicking around overseas for a while now. We're digging the looks, but with HSDPA and a camera both still missing in action, the internals seem to be only marginally upgraded at best. If this is all legit -- and it looks legit enough for Sony Ericsson's latest round of offerings -- we can apparently expect it to drop later in '07.

I must say that Sony Ericsson's phones, which used to be cutting edge, are now very much looking long in the tooth. No camera? No quad-band?

As much as I love touchscreen phones/smartphones, I just can't live without a camera. I currently have a 3.2 megapixel one on my phone (and YES it does take good pictures - they rival that of my 4 megapixel digital camera) and I would almost be willing to buy this "Lizzy" if it had at least a 3.2 megapixel camera (I won't downgrade myself), but nope, sorry Sony . . .

I´ve heard rumors of a "m700i" with the cybershot branding...

Could be a fake though.
