First Sony Ericsson Xperia (X5?) Android phone “Rachael”, and strange “Kiki” with transparent display
Unwired View —
... The images are projected on this display and, it seems, can be viewed from both sides of the handset. It also has a smooth surface keypad on the front, where the numbers should appear when the phone is on. Though I have no idea how tactile it would be and whether the symbols on it are fixed or adaptable. Could go both ways.
Anyway, we’ll be watching developments on both of these handsets and will bring you the news as they come along. Stay tuned.

Rumor: Sony Ericsson Rachael: 1 GHz, 8.1 megapixel, Android powered monster
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —

Sony Ericsson Making XPERIA Android? Holy Smokes…
Android Phone Fans —
... Ericsson can stay on the straight and narrow and announce this thing later in 2009 as the sources predict.
The phone’s codename is Rachael but that is only a codename. It is clearly branded Xperia and you would expect them to go the same route Samsung has gone with the Omnia… Xperia 2, Xperia Lite, Xperia Pro, Xperia Android, etc… so I think we’ll see this phone be called Xperia with a trailing adjective. Any guesses as to what that might be?
