New SE P910i P950i leaked

Gizmodo are reporting that Ubergizmo has been served with a Cease & Desist letter for revealing pictures of the new Sony Ericcson P910i P950i update, codenamed 'Hermione'. Update: It seems Gizmodo received a C&D themselves, but unapologetically ignored it. Ubergizmo got the picture from the French site MobileMag (who appear to have removed the offending article). The images are apparently from an Orange (France) internal presentation.


From the image we can see that the phone features a slick new all-silver look, as well as a prominent new central directional keypad. Other obvious differences include a forward-facing camera aperture (presumably the original aperture is still present on the rear of the phone). Other improvements supposedly include 3G UTMS connectivity and a 2 megapixel camera.

Comment:
This looks like a solid update. 3G will be a welcome speed upgrade, provided you live in an enabled area. It never made sense that a high-end phone like the P-series was limited to crawling along at GPRS speeds. And the 2MP camera is a drastic improvement over the current VGA resolution which again was a notable weak point in the P910 specs. The directional pad doesn't sound too appealing here, but some may prefer it over the scroll wheel.

Update: More info via Gizmodo, and collected here.
