Sony Ericsson KT780i, K830i or K870i Cybershot poses in jewel-tone blue?

The rumor joy continues as news of yet another new set surfaces for Sony Ericsson, a high-end Cybershot. This T610-ish handset apparently features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, is GPS-enabled, and what could be a front facing camera, though it is a bit tough to make out. Of course, we've not heard anything else about this newcomer and the back of the phone has an unmistakable KIRF feel too it -- witness the dodgy screw closure and USB port? -- so color us skeptical til we see more.

Sony Ericsson already has a waterproof cellphone in japan, and the screw (i think) looks quite similar to that of the japanese se cellphone...

The shots of the front reveal a keypad that's far more in-keeping with the style of the T-series models as opposed to the K-series/Cybershot models.
I'm pretty certain that this will turn out to be the replacement for the T650 as opposed to a new K-series model.

Agreed lain, it does looks like a T-series phone. As far as I can tell this looks real. It has the three-button softkey layout that the recent K850 sports, the overall look of the phone is similar to that of the T-series phones, and the new call accept and reject buttons that the K850 has. I see this as the "K750 to the W800" in that they're almost identical in terms of hardware, but software makes them different phones.
The only things in the pictures that make me skeptical is how the phone is branded "Cyberbershot" when this obviously does not look like a K-series phone, and how it is missing either a model number or the famous "SE123" beta unit marking. In any case, this phone looks more real than fake to me.
