Sony Ericsson announced today the upcoming launch of the T715a. Not sure of this is Canadian karma, but according to their corporate website this will be launching in Canada shortly.
This will most likely launch with Rogers/Fido and according to the press release this will “be available in selected markets in the third quarter 2009” . This is a slider phone with dimensions of 91.5 x 48 x 14.9 mm and lightweight at 96.5 grams. This will come in a couple “elegant” colours: Galaxy Silver (piano finish), Rouge Pink (mirror finish). The screen size is 2.2 inches with a resolution of 240 x 320 (QVGA). Other key features are the 3.2 megapixel camera, Geo tagging of photos, Google Maps, SMS, MMS, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and IM.
