The Sony Ericsson Hermione aka The Sony Ericssion P1000. Why did Sony Ericsson codename their phone after Harry Potter’s female friend? Beats me. Maybe someone in the PR Dept loves that movie. When its gonna launch is anybody’s guess.
Can’t guarantee that this is legit (what else is new?), but MobileMag.ch dug up what a product roadmap for Orange that lists a new Sony Ericsson handset codenamed “Hermione”. Not sure if this is the long-rumored P1000 or not, but the Hermione is described as the successor to the P910 and as having tri-band GPRS/UMTS, a 262,000 color display and a two megapixel digital camera.
