Sony Ericsson W890 is the multi-talented successor of the revolutionary W880 that was announced in a little over a year ago. W890 follows up by increasing the depth of the phone with a meaningless 0.5 millimetres while adding a whole lot of features and a design that is to die for.

Loading ...‘Emelie’ is the codename of an upcoming low/mid-end feature phone by Sony Ericsson. It is based on the A200 operating system and is one of the first phones in this price range to be based on this system (more will come, though!). The display is of QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels) and is capable of displaying up to 262.144 colours.
Its metal body looks stylish and inside the casing there are 18 silver keys with a curvy sparkling design. The call and end call keys are black and separate the silver trimming. The D-pad looks quite funny and I don’t think Sony Ericsson has used a design like this before. The navigation keys (up, down, left & right) are separated into four different keys and the action key in the middle has a joystick look to it with orange lights around it. There is an activity menu key on the front, but no other short cut keys here.
We can’t reveal many of the specifications yet, but we can tell you that this will feature a 2 mega pixel camera without auto focus. Its weight seems to be ~100 grams, and we expect the price to end up around 150 - 200 euro.
More on this baby later

Our very own Mik, super moderator at SE-NSE forums, has written a nice review of the SensMe feature in the Walkman 3.0 music player. While I found this feature of no need, Mik seems to like it quite a lot.

Sony Ericsson today announced that the moderating sales growth of mobile phones is expected to have negatively affected Sony Ericsson’s sales in Q1 this year. It appears there is a slow market growth in the mid to high-end markets, which is affecting Sony Ericsson in a negative way.
- As discussed during our fourth quarter 2007 Media and Analyst Call, the market is proving to be challenging. This has been more pronounced in the mid-to-high end replacement sector of the market in Europe, where Sony Ericsson has stronger than average market share, says Dick Komiyama, President of SEMC in a press release. For the last year, Sony Ericsson has been focused on expanding the breadth of its portfolio and developing its presence in new markets to lessen its historic reliance on the European high-end sector for growth. This strategy will continue, and our objective remains to become a top three player globally by 2011. As part of this strategy, we have announced fifteen new phones and introduced a new platform to the portfolio, Windows Mobile®, this year. We expect to start seeing a positive effect from these announcements during the second half of 2008, he continues.
At this moment, Sony Ericsson is expecting to have shipped a total of 22 million units in the first quarter of 2008 with an expected average selling price at 120 euros. Net sales are expected to be 150 - 200 million euros compared to 362 million euros the year before that. The low income is due to increased R&D in Sony Ericsson’s future strategy to meet growth ambitions. Dick Komiyama is still confident that Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications will be a top 3 player in 2011.
Final first quarter results are planned to be announced on April 21st.
