Damn! If you're willing to spend $990 for a phone with sub-par features this could be the phone for you. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness is now available and has that transparent display. It has some pretty standard specs that you can probably find in a $100 unlocked phone, but hey, luxury at its finest. Check it out on Saks Fifth Avenue here.

It likely won't surface until sometime next year, but we're hearing that Sony Ericsson is already looking on producing a successor to their XPERIA Pureness (above). This handset will reportedly drop even more features and may even have removable buttons, which is kind of awkward. Maybe the whole thing will just be a piece of transparent glass. I'm hoping they include eye-tracking...

This Sony Ericsson was once just a concept and we found out last week that the handset that was codenamed "Kiki" is now the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness. For this basic phone - feature-wise - it seems to be priced at 530 UK pounds ($885 USD). It's expected to hit the UK in November of this year, so it'll be here for Christmas.

Remember the Sony Ericsson Kiki handset? Well, Sony decided to show it off again at IFA this year. Instead of showing off the XPERIA X3, they decided to show off this handset. They will be launching it as the XPERIA Pureness. The details on this handset are scarce, but we do know that the display is transparent. I don't know whether this will prove to be a good or bad thing. Maybe this phone will be legal to use while driving, since you can text and pay attention to your driving at the same time - I mean, if you're good enough.

This handset will be available in November 2009 and they've mentioned that this is "a work of art rather than technology." I'm going to guess that means it will be expensive - kind of like a luxury handset. Underneath the video is Engadget's hands-on photo of the XPERIA Pureness.
