Our friend Eldar over at Mobile-Review has managed to get his hands on a Kurara, the much leaked HD video recording handset that we’ve being seeing so much of lately. Eldar revealed that Kurara is packing a Cortex A8 processor and 256 MB of RAM as well as a PowerVR graphics processor. All this corroborates the 720p HD video recording we’ve heard about and the Symbian UI is supposedly most responsive and fluid indeed. Eldar went on to say that in terms of price we’d be looking at around 500 euros and could expect to see it sometime in February.

Keep your eyes on Mobile-Review tomorrow as Eldar is promising a more full-on preview and more pictures!

It looks like Satio is to be pulled from sale at the Carphone Warehouse in the UK. The reason for the pull is being cited as software issues, an all too familiar problem for Sony Ericsson handsets. Interestingly enough the silver version of the handset is still available for sale, just not the black version. There’s also no word on whether or not this recall will affect other retailers in the UK or in other countries. It’s an embarrassing move for Sony Ericsson given that they will want to put the past year or two’s seemingly endless parade of bug prone handsets behind them, only to have their current flagship handset yanked from sale.

It would come as no surprise to most of you if Sony Ericsson was to delay the launch of a high end handset, in fact it’s actually come to be expected! Well that expectation just increased for the Xperia X10!
We recently reported that the Official SE E-Store was showing a specific release date of Feb 10th but no sooner than people could pour scepticism on the date, it’s been removed. The very same E-Store now shows “TO BE ANNOUNCED”.
This may be just a precaution from SE or, more ominously, a sign that the X10 has already been delayed from the February Launch!

Here are two new spy pics of the Sony Ericsson Kurara ( ‘U5′) , which was leaked a couple of weeks ago for the first time. The ‘Kurara’ will be launched under the Entertainment Unlimited banner and will be based on the Symbian S60 platform. It will sport an 8 megapixel camera capable of recording HD videos ( check out the words ‘HD’ imprinted on the back). Other features include a LED flash, face detection and smile shutter.

Contrary to rumors, the Kurara will feature a smaller 3.2 inch touchscreen although it’ll sport the same processor as on the Satio.
Other specs include a 1200 mAh battery, 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi with DLNA, HSDPA and HSUPA support, a built-in GPS receiver and a microSD card slot. Sony Ericsson has also decided to give its proprietary connector a miss and its been replaced by a microUSB port, which is covered by a protective lid.
