A couple of images of an unknow Sony Ericsson model running Windows Phone 7 operating system is spotted in the wild
Esato News

The unknow Sony Ericsson phone is a QWERTY model with full four rows of keys. The Windows Phone keys are viewable below the screen and the phone is charged with a micro USB cable. The origin of the photos are unkown, but it seems to be captured by Mr. Blurycam on the usual tidy desktop we have seen leaked images from before.

Sony Ericssons main focus is now on Android smartphones. But during Mobile World Congress earlier this year Sony Ericsson said they not are tied to one particular operating system. From that, we conclude that other operating sytems are in the pipeline. Such as this Windows Phone 7 prototype shown in the gallery below.

We can't authenticate the images of course, and the person taking them would probably not want that to happen either.

same can be said for android, though sense UI does make HTC devices somewhat more desirable IMHO

of course, same can also be said of iOS but then... there's only 1 manufacturer!

Keep in mind that part of the agreement between Microsoft and Nokia allows Nokia to skin/customize the UI slightly to make their offerings unique. Maybe this is what stopped SE from developing another WM phone; yet in light of this agreement maybe Microsoft is more open to others customizing. Sorry Microsoft has always been open to this. Its possible that other factors limited . we'll see though.

true but android is more customizable and each phone looks different, with wp7 dont mind the system but alot of phones look the same and not much customization - nokia will change this though.

Android allows manufacturers to skin their own version. With WP7, SE would find it difficult to differentiate itself from the rest of the WP7 by being unable to add it's own extras.
