Rumours about slim foldable phone from Sony Ericsson

There are rumours about an imminent launch of a new foldable mobile phone from Sony Ericsson. The model, Z660, is to be Sony Ericsson's first super slim foldable model, measuring 14 mm.

Much more than that is not known about the model. The image is not a real product photo of the upcoming mobile, instead just a guess of a Sony Ericsson fan on the Esato forum.

According to the information circulating the net, the phone is codenamed Becky, and is said to be equipped with 3G and a 2-megapixel camera, using the latest version of the Sony Ericsson menu system, A200. The model Z660 makes some sense, since all Sony Ericsson's clam-shell product names start with a Z, and during the past year the company has launched both W660 and K660.

Above all, the phone will be the first Sony Ericsson foldable in the same style as the Razr, introduced by Motorola a couple of years ago. According to rumours, the phone will be only 14 mm thick. The site Mobile Review is guessing that an official launch might come right now, but it cannot be ruled out that the phone is just the result of some wishful thinking of an enthusiastic Sony Ericsson fan.
