This year at the Mobile World Congress Sony Ericsson announced the Idou.  Since we haven’t had any real hands on with the phone yet we, at Puremobile, thought a brief discussion of the phone was due

The Sony Ericsson Idou looks like it will definitely be a top contender and the thing that really sets this phone out above all the rest is the 12 mega pixel camera.  The 12MP camera is the feature that is currently getting the most attention, but there are other features like a touch screen that looks to have been throughly tested to make sure it didn’t feel like it was just put on the phone as an after thought.  Also the Idou will be working on the Symbian operating system.  For people who aren’t sure it is the same one that is used by Nokia on phones like the N95.  This is a robust operating system that has a proven track record for quality.

For now the Sony Ericsson Idou looks like it will be an amazing phone, but like all new phones we won’t know for sure until they are actually released.  The other issue is Sony Ericsson has not announced a release date yet.  So like everyone else we, at puremobile, are eagerly anticipating the release of this phone.
