Though nothing is confirmed for the time being Sony manufacturing a Windows phone though they made a prototype handset a long time back with code name “Julie” which never saw release unfortunately.
Check the tweet made by Tom Warren…
Two GDR updates planned for Windows Phone 8.1. The first arrives by July for new devices. Perhaps a couple of Sony ones. The next is October

A few days back we saw that Pierre Perron, head Sony Mobile Europe quoting…
“We are continuing our discussions with other partners, including Microsoft, as part of our partnership with this company on the broader Sony spectrum.”
It would be great to see Sony manufacturing a Windows phone handset along with Android. Sony has become the 2nd largest smartphone brand in India replacing Apple from second spot as per the data released by IDC. Sony Windows phone can improve their brand value more in regional as well as Global market as for the time being Windows phone market is mainly covered by Nokia only.

Waiting for it :D
That would make me look at Windows Phone as a real option. I bet the design would be something totally different from the Xperia line, Sony's design is the best!
u r right keylor.i'm also a sony fan.
sony UI is totally different to others.
but people didn't think about that.
This is good, i thought Sony would also start loosing interest in Windows Phone, they seem to be just beginning.
