Today Sony Ericsson announced its latest fashion phone, the Jalou. The Jalou, inspired by gemstones, is a compact flip that has a dedicated mirror key for the main display and homescreen widgets that will automatically retrieve Zodiac/horoscope information as well as other events. The Jalou supports quad-band GSM/EDGE and 900/1700/2100MHz WCDMA/UMTS 3G networks, and also has stereo Bluetooth, FM radio with RDS and aGPS. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera with video capture and video light, support for Microsoft ActiveSync, Google Maps, YouTube and a built-in pedometer function. The Jalou will be compatible with mircoSD cards (rather than Sony Ericsson's M2 memory cards). Sony Ericsson also announced a special Dolce & Gabbana special edition Jalou. The Dolce & Gabbana version comes with silk carrying bags for the phone and charger, as well as a Dolce & Gabbana branded headset with gold accents. It will also come with custom Dolce & Gabbana blog feed that sends headlines to the Jalou. Both versions will be available in select markets in the fourth quarter. Pricing wasn't disclosed.

finally, an SE unlocked phone with T-Mobile 3G

though there's TM506 and TM717 (will come in October), both are branded
if it comes unlocked, I'll buy it, don't care it's designed for ladies (the mirror finish is also handy when shaving ;) )
