Well, it’s about time! Sony Ericsson’s backroom must have been full to bursting with new and conceptual handsets and this morning the S500 somehow snuck out. Unique to this handset is theme and external lighting effects that can be set to change with the season, as day turns to night or even at the beginning of the weekend; this seems like a fun idea, as long as the blinky lights aren’t too bright. No word on carrier or pricing, but we can expect it to hit in Q3 this year.
