Sony Ericsson M610

The Sony Ericsson P1 was given various names in the pre-launch rumours, amongst them M610 and P700. However it appears that there is another device destined for the M610 label waiting in the wings. This time the phone has a code name of Lizy (the P1 was code named Elena), however this phone is still just Vapour Ware.

Given that the P1 is around the same dimensions as the M600, and the touted M610 feature list is very similar to that of the P1, there appears to be little room for the M610 to differentiate itself from the P1, is it perhaps even slimmer and more compact? The M600 was no brick, but something narrower and shorter would be even more pocket friendly.
