Recent pictures of a Sony Ericsson phone posted on a German blog site have further added fuel to rumors that the Japanese-Swedish mobile company may be unveiling a K800i handset at its launch Tuesday. According to the specifications provided on several enthusiast sites, the supposed K800i phone, codenamed "Wilma", will come with a 3.2-megapixel camera and sport a slide-down lens cover similar to the Cyber-shot T-series digicams.

Other key highlights of the phone are rumored to be a 2-inch QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) screen, FM tuner, 3G and Memory Stick Micro slot. Camera features such as 16x digital zoom, red-eye reduction and image stabilizer are said to be onboard the phone.

Rumors also have it that Sony Ericsson will unveil a new Walkman handset, the W530, at the same time as the K800i. This clamshell unit is said to come with a Memory Stick Micro slot for memory expansion and dedicated music playback buttons.

We have not been able to get any official confirmations from Sony Ericsson. Watch this space for when the launch details come through.
