Sony Ericsson Idou : 12 MP Camera Phone : To be released on 2009/Q3

While Sony Ericsson technically announced the Idou, they’re not saying all that much about it. We know that it’s rocking a 12.1 megapixel camera, a 3.5″ 16:9 touchscreen, and - get this - a yet-to-be-finished version of Symbian. To top it all off, “Idou” isn’t actually the final name. It’s an odd announcement - but seeing as the camera is probably going to be the selling point here regardless, I suppose they’ve said all they need to.
