New color for Sony Ericsson Idou, black turns to silver

Days after we wrote about a large photo gallery of the Sony Ericsson Idou we stumbled upon something interesting - a new color, namely silver. This isn't as exciting as, say... a final name for the phone but it's reassuring to see some progress to keep our interest.

According to a few lexicons on the Internet, "idou" roughly translates from Greek to "behold" or "see". Given the impressive 12 megapixel camera and large 3.5 inch touchscreen, it's quite a fitting name. So far, the XPERIA X1 is the only Sony Ericsson handset that breaks the letter plus number naming scheme but that may soon change.

As for the OS - there's nothing new aside from the UI tweaks visible in screenshots. Nonetheless, we're anxious to see what changes the Symbian OS will go through with its new open-source status.

Check out our overview of the Sony Ericsson Idou from the MWC, complete with a video of the UI.
