Remember the Sony Ericsson Rika phone we reported a while back? It's now got an official name and possible release date. Now known as the Sony Ericsson W705 Walkman, it's set to be announced this month and to be released during February next year.

As for its specs, this slider feaures a 2.4-inch display, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP), WiFi, and aGPS all housed in a slim and luxurious looking brushed metal-finished body. Putting its looks aside, the W705 looks to be like your typical phone, but we figure maybe Sony Ericsson still has something grand to reveal when it's officially announced.

Too bad we'll have to wait for February 2009 to snag one, and by then new and better phones will no doubt be on the market.
