We’d usually expect to have seen a leaked event invite pop up by now, but SEMC Blog is claiming that Sony Ericsson will be hosting an announcement event next week.

What ever might they be announcing? Our fingers are crossed in hopes they’ll debut the X2 (or, better yet, that they’ll skip the X2 and announce the Android-powered X3, otherwise known as “Rachel”), but don’t be too surprised if it’s something silly. Sony Ericsson has held reasonably sized events to announce Bluetooth accessories before; they’d host a press conference to celebrate their CEO adopting a cat, if they could. We’ll keep an ear to the ground.
