Are these the specs for the Sony Ericsson P5 Paris?

Could the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) Paris actually cross over from the realm of rumor and hearsay into our world of for-real gadgets that leave us wanting for more? Well, we can’t say for sure whether the Sony Ericsson Paris slider that Dusan showed us is real or not, but there’s something to be said for a bit of wishful thinking. Especially with specs like this.

The Sony Ericsson Paris is said to be sporting a capacitance touchscreen. That’s right, underneath a shiny, mirror-finished front, you’ll find a beautiful touchscreen. There’s a SureType-esque half-QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, 3G, and GPS stuffed into that little, sliding body, too. Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps will apparently come installed from the factory and UIQ 3.3 will be running the show.

A 5 megapixel camera is protected by a sliding lens cover and will be handling the heavy-duty shooting while the front-facing video-call camera handles the video-based communicating duties.

All that spec-sheet goodness packed into a trim (16-18mm) little package sporting a capacitance-based touchscreen is almost more than we can take. Here’s to hoping that the Sony Ericsson Paris gets real sooner than later.
