Rumor: Sony Ericsson to intro the 8MP, 8GB touchscreen based Hikaru

The latest rumored handset to be coming from Sony Ericsson is the Hikaru, and judging from the few specs that have been leaked, it sounds like it will receive a warm welcome.

So far, the details are very light, but what we have learned so far that makes it exciting is that it will feature an 8-megapixel camera as well as 8GB of internal memory. It was noted as being a slider style handset with a large touchscreen display, but still unknown is whether it will feature a full QWERTY slide-out or a numeric keypad.

Still plenty to figure out with this handset, lots of specs are still unknown. It has not even been mentioned where the Hikaru will fit in with the current SE lineup. Will it be a Walkman branded phone? With 8GB of internal storage that sounds likely. Unfortunately, there have not been any leaked images of the Hikaru just yet.
