Sony Ericsson have introduced an upcoming handset called Idou (its code name), powered by the Symbian Foundation OS. This phone offers a 12.1-megapixel autofocus camera and VGA-resolution resistive touchscreen 3.5-inch 16:9 widescreen display.

The handset will feature Sony Ericsson’s new Entertainment Unlimited media system, which incorporates not only PS3, online video and audio content, but information from Facebook and other social networks.

What other details we do know are that the Idou uses a resistive touchscreen, rather than a capactive panel, and has what Sony Ericsson are calling “Turbo 3G”, which we’re assuming means either HSDPA/HSUPA or EV-DO Rev.A.  There’s also WiFi and a sliding lens cover, and an onboard suite of photo-editing applications that allow you to tweak shots on-device.

Sony Ericsson will make a full Idou announcement before the Summer and expected to launch in the second-half of 2009.  No word on its official name, which carriers will carry it or anything else.
