Japanese network AU KDDI have just announced their winter range of handsets and Sony Ericsson have contributed a few models to that range (as an aside I wish European networks had 'winter' and 'summer' ranges, there is something sort of cool about that, but I digress). As you can see from the previous post they released a handset apparently aimed at older customers, but they also announced AU's first Bravia handset, the U1.

Bravia handsets have appeared in Japan before of course, on NTT DoCoMo, but this is a first for AU. The handset packs in a 3" WVGA screen based on Sony's Bravia technology and Sony Blu-ray forwarding technology. Basically what that means is that the handset can be hooked up to a Blue-ray player. Memory expansion is through microSD cards with capacities of up to 16 GB supported. There's all the other usual goodies too e.g. 5.14 MP camera, Bluetooth, WiFi GPS, Felica, 1Seg TV, etc. Check out the pictures below!

P.S. If you're wondering why there is a shot of a woman in a bath it's because the U1 is waterproof!

I'm not keen on the glitzy gold, but the specs are pretty good.

The U1 device name is already used...by the Satio!
I have one here and the model clearly says U1 as you can see in this picture:
