Sony Ericsson's P5 smartphone, once expected to be announced in late 2007, has finally been seen in public, reports claim. The P5 is again said to be a slider with a large touchscreen, but it is now also claimed to have a "full keyboard," similar to the P1. The onboard operating system, meanwhile, has been identified as UIQ 3.3, and control may be possible through both finger gestures and a stylus.
Other rumored specifications include a five-megapixel camera, built-in GPS functions, and the inclusion of Opera's Mobile 9 web browser. There is presently no sign however of either Wi-Fi or an accelerometer, which would be used for iPhone-like advanced screen functions. The new report suggests that the P5 may be announced before the end of May. [via Unwired View]
