V640 spotted in the wild
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Major hardware changes delaying the P5
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007As most of you have probably read here at the blog according to Sony Ericsson themselves there won’t be any announcement on the 15th, where the P5 was supposed to be announced.
And I know why. There’ll be some ‘major hardware changes’ (sorry, I can’t and won’t go into details – yet!) in the P5 causing a delay of both announcement as well as release, which should now be later than earlier expected.
Other than that I’ve received some informations about the design as well, and it sounds very nice (won’t be able to post this either, but the materials can be found in earlier SE phones). The keyboard, however, still remains a mystery – will it be a sliding QWERTY, as some have said or will it be completely different? Well, am not so sure, because both are being used in prototypes, but nevertheless it will be something new (for Sony Ericsson at least).

Sony Ericsson Z320 – Diesel edition!
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Here is a picture of the upcoming Diesel “Fifty Five DSL” edition Z320 from Sony Ericsson. It’ll have a special geometrical look, and a grayish color. It looks rather nice, I think, and could be the beginning of a deal between Sony Ericsson and Diesel.
I think this one will be announced some time soon 
First Orange W910 shipment recalled
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Sony Ericsson recalled the first shipment of W910 phones for Orange in the UK because of a series of firmware problems – one of these were that the phone turned itself off after 10 seconds of use. Another was that it would not accept incoming calls. Therefore Sony Ericsson recalled the first shipment and has now fixed the problems, the manufacturer says.
It’s a bit sad that W910 had these problems because it’s one of the highest spec’d non-smartphones Sony Ericsson has to offer at the moment and is the company’s best music phone available at the moment.

S500 review by GSMArena
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 
GSMArena.com published their Sony Ericsson S500 review yesterday. It looks like they’ve reviewed the black edition, which I find the prettiest. Generally them seem to be liking the phone as a mid-end solution, but conclude that there are better alternatives in the same price range – i.e. the W580, which has some added features and more memory for about the same price. Here’s the full conclusion for you guys.
Sony Ericsson S500 is a mid-range slider of slim design and daring exterior, which offers very standard, not to say unoriginal, functionality. Available for around 225 Euro, the S500 is easily challenged by a number of Sony Ericsson models offering respectable functions in this price range. Which way you will go is just up to you.
The S500 will easily appeal to the senses, but the Walkman W580 could well be the more reasonable option. FM radio, fitness application, superior headset, and a 512-MB memory card are enough features to make the Walkman phone worth the additional investment.
You’ll find the review right here – and don’t forget that you can read my review of S500 here
A rather biased review of W910 by Mobile-Review
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Looks like Mobile-Review has seen themselves pissed at Sony Ericsson for some reason – because lately all the reviews of Sony Ericsson phones have been very bad and totally incorrect in my opinion. Looks like Eldar has lost his touch.
Anyways, they’ve now reviewed the W910, and end up by saying that it’s not a music phone. I really couldn’t believe it – what a lie it is! I’ve tried out the W910 myself and was amazed by its music features and very elegant & slick design. But apparently Mobile-Review thinks otherwise.

Future of Sony Ericsson
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
I just read an article about Mobile Future conference in Stockholm some days ago, where Ericsson’s Bengt Stavenow was talking about the future of Sony Ericsson and its features. I’ll just do a short round up for you guys.
- All Sony Ericsson phones have focus on cost, battery time and size. If a phone doesn’t have a certain feature, it could be because it hasn’t been “compatible” with one of these three things.
- Phones with more networks supported (all in up) will come soon
- 100 Mbps network speed within few years, whereas we’ve got up to 7.2 Mbps HSDPA today.
- More megapixels, but optical zoom will be required for good image quality in a near future.
- Mobile TV is in the works – but what’s important is not what technology that’ll be used, it’s that the consumer gets the TV (streamed) to his phone. This could be a sign of SE finally choosing DVB-H instead of MBMS, which uses 3G.
- Usability and ease of use is important – users must be able to do things with a single click – like saving your camera pictures or sending them off in a MMS.
- “Design is king” and “no technology carries its own weight”, he concluded.
Christmas is coming!
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Indeed it is, and so I decided to update the header image of the blog to get us all in the joyful Christmas mood
To those of you saying it’s too early, well, the stores and malls around me have already started the Christmas decorations, and I’d bet the ones around you have as well. Besides, there’s not too long again these days – about 40 days or so, right?
So with this new header image goes an early “merry Christmas!” to you all from me
PS. I’ve not forgotten this is a blog about Sony Ericsson – but I guess a single post once in a while won’t hurt anyone 
I’m going to test Sony Ericsson phones
Monday, November 12th, 2007Yes, that’s right – me! I am going to test out Sony Ericsson phones in a somewhat near future. But that’s not all – they won’t be 100% production models, so I’ll be able to give you an insight of some phones before they’re out, so you can more easily decide whether this is the phone for you or not, and if it is, this will give you some time to save up some money for it!
So again, watch out for this space, as I’m counting on having some more details later this month
