      right ok, well ive had a look at both these photos and well in the bottom pic where is the line that splits the keyboard from the front of the phone?????

      i dont see one. and this might be why people are getting confused about the pixel count?!

      the second pic might be of a different phone... of the kurara? sounds like a logical explination to me :)

                The Kanna will feature a 720 MHz processor, I’m guessing it’s the OMAP3630.

                          It's like a Nokia 5800 with a physical keyboard.

                                    It would be nice if Sony Ericsson could make a Xperia X10 spec phone with a qwerty keyboard too, to rival the Motorola Milestone and LG's Android phone.

                                        to me this looks fake firstly because the qwerty is not se style,secondly the screen looks too far(not stable for slide) and finally, there is a difference in light exposure between the screen and the qwert pad.
