Live with Walkman

[#1]

Hello!

I wanted to buy a Live with Walkman WT19 (http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/live-with-walkman/specifications/#black) phone, but I found out that ever since Sony Ericsson became Sony, they're planning to cease the walkman series phones (but will continue support for them). In this case, it won't be a good idea to buy a phone from this series, but instead, I should buy from from Xperia series.

But soon I came across this official thread http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35144 , where the phone I want is very first in the list, named as "Xperia Live With Walkman". There is no where written "Xperia" on this phone's body, like it is on other Xperia phones. But this has the stylized "W" logo and "Walkman" written on it, like old Walkman series phones. So I am confused whether this Live With Walkman phone is in the Walkman series, or Xperia series? Please help me.

Also, I wanted to know whether this phone has gravity sensors for motion gaming or not? And does it has compass?

One more thing. Some people said in this phone's review that the front camera supports video calling only through skype or gtalk, and not over network. It does sounds very stupid, as it'd probably support video calling on all data channels, but I still want to confirm. Will it support video calling over 3G/UMTS network or not?

Thank you for all the answers!

sony has recently started to call it an Xperia, here on the forums and blog. i dont know if it really is an Xperia, though the support coming in is same as those for its Xperias. apart from the Xperia tag, the mini, neo and ray also have Sony Ericsson written on top of them, its just that "The name change is a result of Sony’s decision to buy Ericsson’s half of the partnership in October, 2011 for €1.05 billion ($1.47 billion)" (source: http://www.thelocal.se/38430/20120110/)

Yeah but the name due to Sony buying Ericsson's shares reflects in "Sony Ericsson", which is changed to "Sony". I was actually concerned about "Walkman" and "Xperia" ^^
