If you are hoping to see a Windows Phone 7 device from Sony Ericsson, you will need to be patient. In an interview with Pocket-lint.com, the company has reconfirmed plans to remain focused on Google Android at the present. At the same time, they are keeping their Windows Phone 7 options open. According to Steven Walker, acting head of global marketing at Sony Ericsson:
“We shouldn’t limit ourselves to one opportunity, but we aren’t yet ready to make any specific announcement about products. At this moment in time, there is clearly a galvanising within the industry around Android as a creditable alternative to what’s out there, and we think that’s a good thing.”
Past rumours suggested that Sony Ericsson was working on some Windows Phone 7 devices (like the Xperia X7 and X7 Mini). And CEO Bert Nordberg even confirmed that his company would release such devices.
It would appear that it’s only a matter of time…
