 OOooops.... Gracenote unintentionally stole Sony Ericsson's thunder and went ahead and announced their music service will be available on two new Walkman phones, the W910 and W960, and the K850 Cyber-shot. D'oh. We're not sure if it's RCRWireless's fault for publishing the story early, Gracenote's fault for not making the embargo more clear or what, but regardless we'll have more on the three new phones (and maybe even some watches) from Sony Ericsson later today.

Sony Ericsson's announcing 3 bluetooth watches tomorrow?

We've been hearing a bunch of rumors circulate about Sony Ericsson's June 14th event (tomorrow) , but today's batch of rumors make us feel a little nauseated. Some folks are speculating that instead of (but we're hoping along with) seeing the Shinobu and Sofia, we'll see three Bluetooth watches. The folks at Esato are the source of the rumor and say that we'll see two leather band watches and a metal watch, all with music playback control, and one will be Walkman branded.
The rumor actually gets some cred after looking at Sony's teaser site. The subdirectory is "TimeMasters3," which would fall in line with some Bluetooth watches, but if they only announce watches, we'll be a bit disappointed.

Four new Sony Ericsson phones on June 14th?

 A crafty forum poster has some info on some new handsets Sony Ericsson will be announcing on June 14th. The Sofia, which would be their new flagship Cybershot handset, features a 5MP camera, xenon flash (goodbye LEDs!) and HSDPA (including the US 850MHz band.)
The Shinobu could be Walkman's cream of the crop, a slider again with HSDPA, but interestingly features some motion control. Tilt the phone forward, the music skips forward. Tilt it back, the music skips back. Shake the handset, and the phone skips to a random track. It's not a new feature though, since the W580 also has the feature.
The forum poster also claims to have info on two other handsets, albeit less info. The tipster says the Anastasia will rock a 1.3 MP camera, probably for the budget crowd. The Mool, however, could be a little more interesting walkman phone, potentially featuring 8GB of flash memory and the tipster says the unit includes a stereo Bluetooth headset in the box.
We'll be waiting till June 14th to see what's really announced but hopefully the forum poster is dead on. Cybershots have the reputation of being toward the high end of the cameraphone spectrum, so a five megapixel shooter will be one we definitely want to get our hands on, especially since Samsung and LG already have their own five megapixel shooters.
UPDATE: On some additional searching, we found the spy shots that have been floating around for a few months of both the Shinobu and the Sofia (aka'd as the K850i, which looks to have one of the worst keypads we've ever seen.) Oh, and to be clear, the Xenon flash is nothing new, but we're always excited when "proper" cameraphones have "proper" flashes.
