Leks over at Esato forums can get hold of two W890 prototypes and will be selling them for £260 each + delivery. It’s a very good price and gives you the opportunity to get a hold of something before many others. Colours are unknown.
Check out the bidding here!
mBrain Software, the company behind the PDF-viewer on M600, P1, P990 and W960, has just released a free ROM update for these phones. I’ve tried it on my W960 and so far it looks good. It installed without any problems and seems to be working just fine.
In order to get this “Christmas present” from mBrain Software, go to this web site and browse to the bottom of the page and download the Pdf+UIQ_3x_ROM_Upgrade_1_75_05_signed.sis file.
A commenter here at the blog, has just posted about an upcoming firmware release for the K850. This one will be called R1DA038 and it looks like there will be some major improvements on the camera side. The current camera version is 2.9, while the new firmware’s camera version will be v. 3.4. Video call camera is the same.
Thanks! 
First of all, Merry Christmas to everybody around here! I hope you’ll all have a wonderful day with your family and friends!
My Christmas present to you is a large Sony Ericsson W960 review, and I’ve just finished it! You can read the review right here.
Once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you like the snow effect 
Oh, forgot to mention that the next review will be a T650 review, and that it should be published around New Year’s Eve.
Some days ago a comment was posted here about P1 now being available with a Bluetooth GPS in India. Today I found a picture of an advert in a news paper in India at Esato.com. The pricing is Rs 22.995 (580 USD) with the GPS and 20.995 (510 USD) without the GPS. I can’t seem to find a currency converter, so if someone can, please let me know about this Thanks, Suresh!

Tomorrow is Christmas, and I thought that I’d give you guys a present. This present will be a large W960 review I’m still not done with reviewing the phone, but am really trying my best to finish the review tomorrow.
I hope you’ll like it, and Merry Christmas to you all!
Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!!! That’s innovation! Sony Ericsson has just filed a patent on something very cool – underwater image capturing! The picture does look a bit weird, but I guess this would require the camera housing to be 100 percent sealed and not let anything in (like all the dust on the K850!). If they fail to do so, it will be a huge failure! Anyway, here’s the description from the patent and picture below
A housing may include a first portion that includes a window configured to allow a lens to capture images viewed through the window, and a first mating surface. The housing may include a second portion that includes a second mating surface adapted to mate with the first mating surface to form a watertight seal, at least one button to provide a signal to a terminal supported in the second portion, and a receiving surface on an inner surface of the second portion adapted to receive an insert, where the insert is adapted to be removeably coupled to the receiving surface on a first side and to receive the terminal via a second side.
Esato has a cool game called Playtime!, where the target of the game is to be the one to post a certain reply number (i.e. reply number 35). Then you’ll get a prize! I’ve won 6 of these rounds and have scored some Sony Ericsson stuff – a wrist strap, a SE fan and a black SE drawstring bag. Furthermore I’ve won some Motorola and Nokia stuff.
I would like to say thanks to Esato moderator masseur, who has made this possible, and also to PeterKay for donating some stuff!

Just received this and you could consider it a USEB exclusive This picture shows the Z660 in open condition.
It looks like Sony Ericsson has filed a patent about some sort of clock display. Here’s how it’s explained:
The invention relates to a clock display and particularly a clock display comprising a combined electronic display unit and mechanical clock hands. The clock hand has a visible state for showing the time and a transparent state used when in it is not desired to obscure the underlying display unit. The clock display may be incorporated in a portable device, such as a mobile telephone or a wrist watch.
In addition to this patent, Sony Ericsson has also filed another one – this one being about a self cleaning display. The idea behind this patent – as described in one of SE patent applications – is to add a cleaning slider to the display and connect it to the opening/sliding mechanism of the phone itself. This doesn’t sound that nice in my ears and the concept picture does look a bit silly, too. I hope that’s not the best the R&D team can come up with!
Finally, the winners of the Sony Ericsson Content Awards 2007 have been found. In the category “Gaming” the winning game was “Playman Extreme Running”, in category “Imaging” the winning application was “Pull Face Image”, in “Productive Mobility” the winning application was (of course) “Opera Mini 4.0″. The “Music & Audio” award went to TrackID by Gracenote and the “Themes & Graphics” award finally went to “The geeks” themes and graphics. Furthermore Sony Ericsson felt it necessary to give a Special Recognition Award to “Vringo” for best use of the functionalities available in Sony Ericsson phones. Congratulations to all the winners!
