Sony Ericsson “Julie” Windows Phone prototype spotted in video

When it comes to Windows Phone devices, most of us tend to think of Nokia, Samsung and HTC. Sony has stated in the past that they have no immediate plans for Windows Phone handsets which has us wondering why they might have passed up on the opportunity to release the handset in the video above. Dubbed the “Sony Ericsson Julie” (branded Jolie in the video), we have to admit that the phone does look pretty good. Now if you were a bit worried about its thickness, it’s because the handset has a slideout QWERTY keyboard which we’re sure that many out there can appreciate. A bit old fashioned perhaps, but still a viable typing device for those who prefer physical keys as opposed to on-screen ones. Could Sony be releasing the “Julie” with Windows Phone 8 “Apollo” later this year? Unfortunately that remains to be seen, so in the mean time we guess that the video above (assuming it is real) will have to do. What do you guys think? Should Sony have released the Julie Windows Phone?
