It's not the P5, it's not the Paris, it's the Sony Ericsson P200

The so-called Paris halo phone from Sony Ericsson has been rumored as a successor to the P1 seemingly since before the P1 even existed, promising a sliding QWERTY rocker keypad, HSDPA, serious shooting power, and a fashion sense that should let it fit in both in social and corporate settings with equal aplomb. It's a minor detail, granted, but now it looks like we know what to call it: P200. That's the official model number being floated by a leaked profile document on Sony Ericsson's site, though the mention of mere QVGA resolution to fill the rumored 2.6-inch display is a pretty big downer. With high-res displays finally becoming a big deal in smartphones this year, we can imagine a decent number of shoppers passing over this one thanks to that little indiscretion alone. Last chance to send this one back to the drawing board and swap out the display, guys!

So does this mean there is no possibility the P200 will be called the Paris? And the Paris isn't a different phone entirely? With all the rumors and names thrown out there its hard to keep everything straight!

Meaning high-end, an aspirational model.

How can something that's been "floated" and "leaked" be "official?" Answer: It's not. It's floated and leaked, which are the opposite of official. Things like this are the reason that internet journalism and especially blogs are not taken seriously by the wider world.
