Meet the Sony Ericsson Kurara
By Simon Sage on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 at 12:34 PM PST In Rumors, Sony Ericsson, Symbian
The most promising thing coming from Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) these days is the Android-powered X10, but not so fast – they haven’t put all of their eggs in one basket. This here is the Kurara, a Symbian smartphone with 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz processor, 3.2″ touchscreen, and HD video recording at 720p. Also called the U5, the usual fixings like GPS, Wi-Fi (with DLNA support), 3.5mm, microUSB and HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity are packed inside. We’ll have to see more of the device to pass judgment, but maybe SE should take a hint from Motorola (NYSE: MOT) and focus on Android for the immediate future. No release date, target markets, or pricetag just yet, but we’ll be keeping an eye out.

I would have bought this if it was android. HD video capabilities in android device is what I am looking for. Motorolla Sholes interest me for the same, but I know Sony Ericsson phones will be superior in video quality when they decide to go HD. But again this one is not android based phone another factor I am looking into.
