Jealous of the Japanese: A Sony Ericsson 5.1 megapixel monster

If you ever needed a reason to commit harri karri then let me introduce you to the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) Cybershot with a 5.1 megapixel camera, Xenon flash, 3x optical zoom, 480×864 resolution 2.7 inch screen in a device that is only 113 × 50 × 20 mm and weights 150 grams. At the Symbian Smartphone Show I got to play with Japenese cellphones and one of the first things that struck me was how they’re essentially all large clamshells, I’m talking Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N93 large.

It makes sense when you think about how many hours of the day these people spend buried in their device. A large screen that can fit a lot of data is a must. I admit I’m jealous and while I’m not usually a fan of clamshells, that resolution would make me switch in a heart beat. Damn thing has a higer resolution than the Internet Tablet and most UMPC’s!

Expect this beast to be announced tomorrow as apart of NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM)’s new 905i lineup.
