We already knew that Sony Ericsson's M600i was going to be called Lizzy but we didn't know it was going to have a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, or Wi-Fi.
That is, if these leaked pics and the accompanying rumours are really the Lizzy. I guess we'll find out at CeBIT or, failing that, on the 14th of next month, when it should be launched. Two new images, back and front, after the jump.

Hostilities broke out between the two companies last month, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the music phone at the annual Macworld convention in San Francisco. Cisco claimed that it had owned the trademark since 2000 and was using it for a line of Internet-connected phones.
Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the "iPhone" trademark on their products throughout the world.
In a joint statement, both companies said they are free to use the "iPhone" trademark on their products throughout the world, and each side will dismiss any pending actions regarding the trademark.

Motorola today gave a modern-day twist to an old classic, announcing the launch of the state-of-the-art StarTACIII in Seoul. Motorola's StarTACIII retains many of the original aesthetic features that made StarTAC a classic. The new handset is instantly recognizable by its chic black coloring, specially-developed scratch-resistant facade, a smoothly contoured front, and the distinctive StarTAC opening chime.
Motorola has also modernized many of the design elements. StarTACIII's powerful antenna, its simple and sleek figure, and stylishly silver trim along the sides are an ideal complement to StarTAC's original classic design, forming a unique meld of the old and the very new.
Reflecting both the change in times and technology, StarTACIII can alert people to any missed or received calls and text messages by means of three signal lights on the outside - users can stay notified without even having to open up the handset. In addition, StarTACIII features a full range of Motorola's most popular features, including a high definition 2.0-inch TFT QVGA LCD screen, clearly displaying all pictures, as well as such useful functions as international roaming, GPS, "Moneta M-Bank," an electronic dictionary with over three hundred thousand words, and high quality MP3 playback.
Not the first time to bring back the StarTAC, Motorola created and released the StarTAC 10th Anniversary Edition in early 2005.
The Motorola StarTACIII will be released in Korea in early March, and priced at 297,000 KRW ($315 USD).
