New Ericsson 'Rachael' Photos+UI Video

Jul 8 2009, 1:15pm CDT | by Robert Evans

Beauty, thy name is Rachael. Since the first tantalizing morsels of info about SE's new Android smartphone hit the Internet last week it seems like every nerd in the tech world has been drooling over the Rachael. It's not hard to see why. With a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8 megapixel camera, 7.2 Mbps Internet and a 4” touchscreen the Rachael is one of the most powerful smartphones in development.

Now, thanks to Boy Genius we have a slew of sexy new photos of Miss Rachael, plus a video of the new smartphone's UI in action. It looks like Ericsson's done a great job on the UI, and everything seems to be very fluid and intuitive. I really like the look of the contacts system, and the whole thing manages to convey plenty of information without looking cluttered.

The pictures, of course, just make me want this phone even more. It's definitely one of the sleeker smartphones I've seen, and Ericsson seems to be going with a 'less is more' policy when it comes to design. Hopefully the next round of leaks will tell us once and for all what sort of screen this baby has, and how much ram she'll pack.
