Club-SE.pl has apparently gotten their hands on the unannounced W890i, and have done a small review of the phone (in Polish, that is!). This review gives us a few new details about the phone. According to the poster, the depth of the phone will be only 9.6 mm (against the 9.4 mm in W880), and not the 12 mm said earlier. Also the screen is now a 2.0 inch screen with QVGA resolution. From what I understand of the review, W890 has excellent 3D graphics capabilities (must be because of JP-8). Furthermore it mentions something about TV, but I don’t know what it means. If somebody out there, who understands the review, is reading this, please leave a comment!
Stuff.tv is handing out 3 brand new K850i’s from Sony Ericsson in a competition for UK residents only. But you’ve got to be quick, because the competition closes at 1st of October, which is also the day K850i apparently will be available (a bit sooner than expected!?). You’ve got to answer a simple question to win the phone (”How many megapixels does the K850i have?”), and here’s the link for the website. For those of you who doesn’t know the answer, I can give a little hint; it’s the second option and also the third character in ‘K850i’
I’m finally back from Prague after 5 lovely days of low prices and bulging meals. But enough about Prague, let’s get back to Sony Ericsson! Here’s a short recap of the week.
Sony Ericsson Z320 and Z750 have both been approved by FCC, and will soon be available. As far as I know Z750 will be available for the American market only, while Z320 will come in both an American version as well as an international version.
Sony Ericsson Developer World has set up a competition to get more tutorials, guides and such in their Wiki. This time you can win a new Sony Ericsson W910 by writing a article about the new JP8 and the JSRs in it. Check the official site for more info.
Pictures of an unknown W880 successor have been on surfacing the web lately. It’s reportedly a 12 mm Walkman phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and Walkman Player 3.0. Specification wise it looks a lot like the K770, and makes use of the same, new menu interface. You can find pictures of it here!
The Havanna range of phones, which I did a post about earlier on, has now officially been announced. The same has the V640, which is a non-Walkman branded music phone exclusively for Vodafone with HSDPA.
Last but not least it seems that Sony Ericsson could be working on a new concept, which pretty much is a sliding touchscreen, that can work as both navigation keys and a small / large screen depending on what one uses it for.
I’m going to Prague tomorrow (Sunday), and won’t be back and available till Saturday. This means no updates in this time period, and I’m sorry that there hasn’t been any updates lately. Been busy with other stuff, but hopefully I’ll get some time to update once I get back.
Sony Ericsson W910 has been approved by the FCC. This means that it’s now ready to start selling, but don’t count on it appearing in shops until October - about a week before K850. Now all that’s missing is the K850 getting approved by FCC!
