This is just some press news we have been receiving today that as expected, Sony Ericsson’s number one candidate in the combat against the iPhone is expected to begin shipment just about…now! The press does say that the phones will be shipped from November 2007.

The Sony Ericsson W960i has been said to be a “a potent combination of slim UMTS and Wi-Fi? enabled phone with high performance media player”. It has a touch screen too! For more info, please check out our split W960i review which was posted along with a short demo video showing what exactly it will be like and why it’s been expected to be such a rival for the iPhone.
