A Chinese blog unveiled some pictures of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 from Sony Ericsson. These pictures show a device clearly labelled as a prototype and not for sale, and it shows an attractive, large-screened and relatively thin slider.
The UI is clearly from a very old build of Windows Phone 7, and it has been suggested by some of our readers that this may be a scrapped handset after Microsoft and Sony Ericsson could not come to an agreement around Xbox Live after Mobile World Congress 2011. As we know that Sony Ericsson was after all one of the announced launch partners at the time.
In fact we have a report from June 2010 of a device called the Sony Ericsson Julie, which was said to feature a 4 inch screen like the SE X10, a sliding QWERTY keyboard and a 1 Ghz processor, standard for the Windows Phone 7 platform.
On the other hand we have had recent reports that Sony Ericsson is still working on a Windows Phone 7 handset, and what would be easier than to resurrect a mothballed project? More Pictures after the jump

I played with Windows Mobile 7 and while it’s super smooth and easy to use it would be a downgrade for high class android phone users. Some sources mention that it could be released on Christmas but it looks like you have to wait a little bit longer if you want more devices.
