The Sony Ericsson TM717 mobile handset has been spotted on its way through the FCC by engadget mobile, and is apparently headed for T-Mobile USA.

The word is though the Sony Ericsson TM717 is virtually the same as the T707 model and packs the same clamshell form factor along with the same 3.2 megapixel camera.

So there really isn’t a great deal of difference as far a s they can tell, and as usual this early on the release date for the Sony Ericsson TM717 along with any word on pricing is unavailable .
