Sony Ericsson Idou begins sold in October

According to the folks over a mobile.se, a German PR rep for Sony Ericsson has gone on the record to state that the Idou - a Symbian-powered device with a 3.5″ touchscreen, monstrous 12 megapixel camera and GPS - is slated to commence retail sales in October with November being the fall-back date.

When asked for comments, Gustaf Brusewitz of Sony Ericsson Sweden would only reconfirm the companies previous commitment to ship the Idou "sometime in the second half of the year," something that we hope means that the Idou will go on sale well before Christmas to help the struggling Japanse/Swedish owned company get back on its feet. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to have a 12 megapixel camera phone in your pocket on Halloween to document your best friend almost blowing his hand off with an M-80? Yeah, that'd be so sweet.
