Gracenote trumps Sony Ericsson -- announces W910, W960, and K850

Oh my. Looks like Gracenote has unintentionally stolen Sony Ericsson's thunder by outing their phones before SE's "next big thing" later today. According to their press release, Gracenote's mobile music service will be embedded on the "new Walkman models W910, W960 and the K850 Cyber-shot." Of course, there's still some mystery as we don't yet know which internal codename -- Sofia, Maria/Mooi, Shinobu, or possibly others -- matches up with those new product numbers. As to Gracenote, well they'll provide search and discovery, song ID and playlisting, and allow users to transfer music between home libraries, on-line music stores, and their new SE phones. But really, it's only the phones you're interested in right?

Update: Well, well now BelgiqueMobile seems to have the leaked pics and specs: 5 megapixel cybershot K850i with HSDPA/EDGE; W910 HSDPA Walkman 3.0 slider with 2 megapixel camera; W960 Walkman Touch player with UIQ 3.1, WiFi, and 3.2 megapixel camera. There's more, but not more if you knowwhutamean?

[Thanks, Thomas B. and CedricG]

I am really dissapointed that this did not involve more bluetooth watch pairings.

dude.. go back under the rock from which you came

What rock? At the time of my post, I thought this was the big SE announcement. No other info could be found. If the rock is about the watch, I would love a way to discreetly know who is calling when I am in meetings or other situations where looking at a cell phone is rude.

shinobu - w910, for fashion-conscious geeks, slim, but that's about it
mooi - w960, walkman flagship for 2007, walkman 3.0

OOh great more phones, maybe they will come out in 2009. Still haven't seen the S500, W580, W660, or the T650. Why announce them if they won't be release in the next year.
