International Congress MWC 2010 is getting closer, and new data constantly emerge on the web on what devices can be represented at the congress. At this time we have information about the new product from Sony Ericsson codenamed Abelin.

It is a smartphone based on Android software platform. French resource PointGPhone has informed that the announcement of the phone is expected at Mobile World Congress. According to the source, Sony Ericsson Abelin is similar to BlackBerry smartphones: candy bar with integrated QWERTY keyboard, it also has a 5 megapixel camera. Obviously, the model can become a good business device.

However, there is no information on what kinds of display will Sony Ericsson Abelin have. In general, this is all the information available about the characteristics of new products. PointGPhone also mentioned that the smartphone will become part of a series of XPERIA, and its index may be X9. It should be noted, that we have recently written about another new device – Sony Ericsson Faith.

This device is also equipped with a bar form factor QWERTY keyboard, but it also has a touchscreen. Sony Ericsson Faith is running Windows Mobile 6.5 or even 6.5.3. Perhaps the company has decided to create a similar device, but with different operating systems?

By the way, the announcement of a mini-version of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, a model known as Robyn, is also expected at MWC 2010.
