Billabong is a sports brand known for surfing, skating, snowboarding, wakeboarding, etc.Sony Ericsson has teamed up with Billabong for the Xperia active Billabong Edition, which apparently has been designed “with extreme sports enthusiasts in mind.”Internally it will remain the same as the regular Xperia active edition, which means that users can still expect the same IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, as well as “finger wet tracking” technology on its 3” display.

The picture above appears to be a leaked photo of the upcoming Sony Ericsson ST25i, or better known by its codename “Kumquat”.Based on the rumors, we can expect the Sony Ericsson ST25i Kumquat to feature a 3.5” 480×854 display, powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor, a 5MP camera and we’re guessing will come loaded with at the very least Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Thanks to a NenaMark benchmark test, we now know that there is still at least one more Sony Ericsson handset in the works before the transition over to the “Sony” brand.The device has been codenamed “Pepper” and sports the model number MT27i, and is expected to feature a dual-core 1GHz NovaThor U8500 processor and a 5MP camera.Thanks to the benchmark, we now know that the “Pepper” handset will also feature a 3.

Sony Ericsson seems to be producing mostly Android smartphones, but assuming the leaked photo is to be believed, what we are looking at could very well be a Windows Phone-based Sony Ericsson smartphone.While we can’t really see pictures of the operating system on the phone, the “Windows” button on the device is a dead giveaway, assuming of course it has not been photoshopped.

Thanks to the leaked photo, we could very well have our first glimpse at both the Nypon and Kumquat smartphones from Sony.The specs of both devices remain pretty much a rumor for now, with the Nypon expecting to be a NovaThor U8500-based handset with a 4” “Reality” display, an 8MP camera capable of 1080p Full HD video recording and it appears to be somewhat similar in design with the Xperia S.

It appears that Sony Ericsson has a new device up their sleeves with the model number LT28at.Not much is known about the device apart from its camera, which thanks to the photos’ EXIF data, it was revealed that the LT28at’s camera features a whopping 13MP sensor.The speculators are also saying that it is most likely a 4G LTE compatible device and could be headed AT&T’s way.

Approximately a month or so the Sony Ericsson Nozomi images was leaked, and now another one image of the device was captured.According to the rumor, the device sports a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. There’s no further news regarding the handset.

It appears that the Sony Ericsson company has recently submitted the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the PCRB for certification.So if the Samsung Galaxy Nexus wasn’t your cup of tea, unlocked Xperia arc and Xperia neo handsets at $350 and $300 respectively seems like a good deal, especially if they could potentially be shipped with Android 4.0 in the near future.

The device will feature a 3” display, built-in GPS, a barometer and compass, ANT+ wireless networking technology, a microSD card slot and will run on Android’s Gingerbread 2.3.4.The good news is that it’s an Xperia handset which means that the Xperia active is set to receive the Ice Cream Sandwich update in the not-too-distant future.The handset costs $369.99 unlocked.

According to latest news, starting from March of 2012 Xperia phones should be receiving the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update.FThe list of Xperia phones that will receive the update includes the Xperia arc and arc S, Xperia Play, Xperia neo and neo V, Xperia mini and mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active, Xperia ray, and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman.
