Further BeiBei Leaks

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

It seems like BeiBei is going to be announced fairly soon – at least if you were to judge on the amounts of recent leaks. This time, the leaks show a brown/black version of this very thin smart phone running UIQ 3.3. I do not think it’ll be a Walkman phone, but let’s see about that.

New K660 & W580 Colour Variants

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Sony Ericsson today launched a few extra colour variants of the K660, and a new smashing red colour variant for the W580. The new K660 colours are called Cyan on Black & Silver on Black, while the red W580 colour variant will be called Velvet Red. In my opinion the red colour on the W580 makes it look extremely hot!

WM Experts’ First Impression Of XPERIA X1

Friday, April 18th, 2008

WM Experts is an interesting site, and they sure do know about the stuff they write about. A short while ago, they published a preview of the XPERIA X1, and it looks like they are extremely impressed;

Overall this might be the best hardware I’ve ever seen on a Windows Mobile device. [...] The screen. Good god, the screen is really beautiful. Flush, bright, and very high resolution. [...] So yes, the hardware delivers. [...] They are [the specifications], in short, nothing less than top of the line.

That sounds bloody excellent, don’t you think? Do me and yourself a favour and check out the highly positive preview of the X1 over at WM Experts.

M-R G900 Review Coming Tonight

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

We just thought we would remind you that Mobile-Review will be publishing their English language review of the G900 this evening. This is one of the higher-end handsets announced by Sony Ericsson at 3GSM so you won’t want to miss the review, which should be online in around 3-5 hours time.

If the G900 fares as well as the G700 did then we should be looking at a really top class handset!

Update! It’s online now, right here.

Latest Rumours – BeiBei & Z780

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Maximys over at semcblog has posted a picture of the upcoming design flip phone Z780. My guess that it’ll be the American version of the Z770. Rumoured specifications of the Z780 are very much like the Z770, including a 2 mega pixel fixed focus camera, QVGA display and it is based on the new A2 software platform.

In other news, more pictures of the upcoming BeiBei have been posted by the Chinese website yesky.com. It shows the new & enhanced user interface in UIQ 3.3, which is more finger friendly, and generally looks nicer.

Camera Shoot-out: Nikon D40 Vs Sony Ericsson K850

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Ever wondered how a mobile phone camera performs compared to a d-SLR camera? Well, I have, and today I decided to put it to the test.

I found a Sony Ericsson K850 Cyber-shot branded camera phone and have compared it to my entry-level d-SLR camera, Nikon D40. It turned out to be an extensive comparison with a total of 12 pictures from each camera. Apart from that, this shoot-out will also teach you a bit about the camera and sensors in detail and why you should go for a d-SLR camera rather than a mobile phone camera (well, it should be obvious!).

Ready? Set. Shoot-out!

Exclusive: Silver Back With 5 MP

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Doesn’t it look great? The back is made of metal in silver colours, with a 5 mega pixel camera on the top of the phone, as well as a stylus pen on the top right of the phone.

So, the days with pictures of Paris are now over. We’ll see if and when we can post a video :-)
