Sony Ericsson XPERIA Rachael in black...

We had our doubts the first couple of times but now we are pretty certain that this is all a part of the Sony Ericsson marketing strategy to keep the Rachael in the public eye. This time we got a batch of official photos that show the new Android-powered XPERIA member, wearing a pitch-black dress.

While the new photos hardly reveal any new information about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Rachael, it's nice to see that the handset will be available in a variety of colors. The first time that we saw the XPERIA Rachael in black we were pretty impressed and it's looking even better on those higher-quality photos now. We have to admit we still kinda prefer the white one, though.

In case you need a quick memory refresh you can check the previous Sony Ericsson XPERIA Rachael leak, which lists the specs known so far and features a cool UI demo video. Quite exciting stuff looks to be going on under the hood.

So, Sony Ericsson's PR department is doing a good job of keeping our interest with this a spoonful-an-hour-technique, but maybe the time has come to clear the remaining unknowns by making an official announcement. Or is it really the R&D that is so poor at keeping their secrets?
