Sony Ericsson's as yet unannounced W999 Walkman slider phone has appeared on the web in an official capacity, turning up among the GSM Association's list of HSDPA-compatible handsets.

The site also mentions the Z750, an HSDPA-enabled clamshell handset Sony Ericssion when public on back in March (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/27/se_reveals_first_hsdpa_phone/) this year.
The GSMA provides no information about the W999, but it does show what it looks like. The image confirms past claims that the W999 sports a QWERTY keyboard with two characters per key rather like the one on Sony Ericsson's M600 smart phone (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/09/review_sony_ericsson_m600i/). Its colour scheme suggests an aboreal inspiration of the kind behind the recently announced S500 (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/05/08/hw_sony_ericsson_mysterious_s500/).
The W999 is also believed to feature a 2.4in, 240 x 320 display, and to be 1.3cm thick.
