Xperia Pro showing up Oct. 6?

British online retailer Clove has put the forthcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro up for pre-order, claiming an October 6th release date for the device.

If this is the phone for you, then in the UK at least it'll set you back £322 ($524) off contract. Bearing passing resemblance to the Xperia Play, the Pro has a full slide out QWERTY keyboard in place of the game controls, and we know how much some of you love your QWERTY's.

As with all recent devices out of the Xperia stable, the Pro is packing similar specs to its siblings. It comes with Gingerbread on board, a 3.7" display complete with the mobile Bravia technology, the 8.1 megapixel Exmor R camera from the Arc S, HD video recording and HDMI out.
