A Swedish study by the operator Telia has shown that Sony Ericsson phones are likely to be the ones most people wish for Christmas. 8.000 people were asked and about a third was hoping for a mobile phone this year. Furthermore, 61% of this third wanted a Sony Ericsson phone.
This of course is not a study that should be taken too seriously. Sony Ericsson has a large market share in Sweden and the Swedes tend to like Sony Ericsson more than other brands.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ll be reviewing the W960 before the T650. I know I’ve said otherwise earlier on, but I feel there’s a much bigger need for a W960 review than for a T650 review. I hope this is OK. Expect a full size W960 review in some days!
Mobile-Review.com has yet again reviewed a Sony Ericsson phone and this time it is the K660, which is being marketed as a web phone for the youth. I liked this review of K660 and I think Eldar makes some good points along the long lines of text, but I also disagree with some of his sayings - like the one, where he says no K6xx phones have been successful. In Denmark both the K600 and K610 has been very popular and helped kick-starting 3G. Anyhow, here’s the link for the review. Enjoy!
SE seems to be very busy redesigning their complete web appeareance. After the structure change and the press page relaunch (USEB told you about that earlier here and here), they now have also a spanking new and all fresh frontpage, as you can see at the pic below:
I just got my W960 and it’s great! I like just about anything about it except for the irritating protection plastic layer above the screen. It feels cheap and I have doubts about how long it’ll last. Here’s the mandatory unboxing video (and no, I didn’t drop the battery on purpose!) and the pictures are available after the break.
OK, I admit. You’ve got to be a real hardcore Sony Ericsson fanatic to spot this, however I did. Sony Ericsson has updated its web design at the press site. A change that was well needed, if you ask me. It simply didn’t fit the new style of Sony Ericsson.
Anyway, browsing press material is now much easier and it generally just looks better. Have a look for yourself! There are still some minor problems, but I’m guessing they’ll be fixed soon.
1. Testing of prototypes. They’ve got a test center in Germany for testing of prototypes. They have fired all “out of house” prototype testers in order to keep everything behind closed doors - however operator testers have still got a limited access to non-announced prototypes.
2. Sony Ericsson leaks informations! Yep, you read that right. Sony Ericsson - again, yes, the mobile manufacturer itself - leaks informations about upcoming phones and plans. But of course the leaks are carefully planned.
3. Sony Ericsson keeps an eye on us. I’d bet you didn’t know that Sony Ericsson are eagerly reading the posts at different mobile phone forums - like Esato - and they also read mobile phone blogs. Sometimes even posting, too!
4. Successor’s successor. The K850 is fairly new, but the successor is already in the works and so is the successor of K850’s successor probably also. Mobile phone manufacturers are always years ahead in terms of successors as it usually takes about three years to create a mobile phone.
5. Extreme amount of ideas. But unfortunately most of the ideas will never become reality. For about every 8 ideas, one will become reality - and even this idea, will end up being changed lots of times before it gets announced and released. Some will even get ditched after the product announcement - one could be the Z700, which was cancelled or the programmable Bluetooth camera ball a few years back.
