According to an unofficial Chinese report, Sony Ericsson is currently working on a brand new Windows Phone 7-based handset. The company’s smartphone, also known under the codename Julie, seems to be very similar in size to Xperia X10; it could also have the same 4-inch capacitive touchscreen, but offering support for multi-touch. Sony Ericsson’s new handset will be powered by a 1GHz dual-core CPU and mill most likely sport a sliding QWERTY form factor. On the other hand, the X10 is Android-based.
If rumors prove to be true, the smartphone will offer Xbox Live support; Microsoft has already announced, at the Mobile World Congress which took place in February, an association between its game console service and WP7. The exact release date for Sony Ericsson’s Julie is yet to be known.

I don’t understand why Sony-Ericsson would bother with Windows Phone 7, as it has had a tough time with Windows Phone in the past.
The fact that it runs Windows Phone 7 means that it won’t have multi-tasking, copy-and-paste, and its compass will be broken (WP7 can’t read compasses).
