Mobile World Congress really has a lot to offer 
Just recently Sony Ericsson has unveil their very first 12 Megapixel cameraphone, the Sony Ericsson Idou. But Sony Ericsson Idou has other things to offer, which you can see on the full specs and features under this post. Anyway, The Sony Ericsson Idou was announced along with the Sony Ericsson W995 (Formerly known as Hikaru). But in this post I will focus on the Sony Ericsson Idou. Why? Of course because Sony Ericsson Idou is much more interesting than the Sony Ericsson W995 Hikaru, since I heard nothing about the Sony Ericsson Idou specs and features (not even its codename) and its 12 megapixel camera before the Mobile World Congress.
Obviously, the Sony Ericsson Idou has an interesting specs and features, but as I said earlier, the Sony Ericsson Idou’s main attraction is the camera. Sony Ericsson Idou will pack a 12.1 megapixel camera with xenon flash, autofocus, face and smile detection, etc. Moreover, the Sony Ericsson Idou will boast a large touchscreen, 3.5 inches with 640×320 resolution, to be exact.
As a smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Idou will use Symbian OS (bye bye Android..) that will allow you to access thousands of applications available online. It packs Wi-Fi and Turbo 3G (HDSPA or HSUPA) features in order to give users a great internet experience. GPS, Bluetooth and Micro M2 memory card slot are also available.
The Sony Ericsson Idou will be marketed as Entertainment Unlimited, which will deliver a complete music / video / camera solutions to high end market. Can you imagine the combination between Walkman phone and Cyber-shot phone? Well, you are seeing one . The Sony Ericsson Idou will be available at second half of 2009. Unfortunately, no word on pricing yet. But rest assured that we will update this story

Do you think that samsung omnia hd is actually better than the idou? And how on earth can a normal music application wins clear audio experience? And what is turbo 3g? Personally i think the idou is better than the hd except the screen part but i can’t really be sure.
