New support page design

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that Sony Ericsson’s former support page could do with a makeover. Sony Ericsson recently updated its looks, and made it completely in tune with the bubbly design of the rest of the website. They’ve also re-organized quite a lot of everything there, making it a lot easier for new consumers to find what they need in a hurry. Have a look yourself over at Sony Ericsson’s support page.

By the way… We’ll soon be updating the theme of the blog yet again. Major theme update this time bringing along many enhancements, such as improved search and a lighter code, as well as a fixed content width making it possible for me to post images up to about 700 pixels in width!

Mobile-review takes a look at G702

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

In a recently published article at Mobile-review.com, editor in chief Eldar Murtazin takes a look at his G702 prototype, running UIQ 3.3. In the article he covers most areas of concern, and there are lots of nice photos included in the article.

If you have not read it yet, I’d suggest you to head over to Mobile-review, and check it out now.

There’s no questioning – 17th is the date!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

As reported earlier on, the announcement date of the next announcement is the 17th of June, and today an offical press invite was leaked on Mobile Phone Helpdesk. It reveals that the announcement will happen in Amsterdam (what happened to CommunicAsia?) at 12.30 AM.

I like how the header says “I (SE) reaching new heights” – and also the ferris wheel near the bottom of the invite! Get it? ;)

Z770 Ducati edition

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

It seems Sony Ericsson in Italy is planning to launch a special Ducati edition Z770 by TIM in July.

Apart from the Ducati-inspired new look, and a set of Ducati branded covers, wallpapers, themes & videos, the Z770 Ducati edition will be no different from the regular Z770. Who cares, though? It’s a well-respected brand, and that’s what’s supposed to be selling this phone, not the phone itself. Apart from that, it’ll also come with a special Ducati branded version of the HBH-220 Bluetooth headset.

Want a G702? You can buy one. Seriously.

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

User captainsm over at Esato is selling out of his small stock of unannounced black G702s, and has already sold one, with only one left, unless you can convince him to sell you his third and last G702 for a higher price. He’s got pictures of the unit over at Esato as well.

He wants £400 for it, and for that amount of money you get a G702 boxed with charger, battery, headset and a USB-cable. Check it out!

By the way… This is nothing to get too excited about. This is very early stuff, and we’re sure lots of stuff has happened since this video was created.

G702 Camera Sample

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

As promised here’s a camera sample from the G702 also known as Beibei. As said earlier on, this phone packs the best fixed focus camera I’ve seen in any camera phone, and on the software side of things, Sony Ericsson has really upped its game. Even though this is a really good sample considering it’s a prototype, it can actually do better than this – at least it does do better in a few other samples I’ve got, although these can’t be shared (obvious reasons). We’ve removed pretty much all the EXIF data not to reveal too much, once again, our reasons are quite obvious. Press the thumbnail for full view.

C702 Is Now Shipping

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

In closed a press release, Sony Ericsson now announces that it’ll be starting shipping of the C702 Cyber-shot phone tomorrow. We expect the C902, G700 and G900 will follow the C702 on its way across Europe.

Just to sum it up, the C702 offers a 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus, a built-in GPS with Google Maps and WayFinder as well as a crisp TFT display at QVGA resolution. C702 is also Sony Ericsson’s first dust and splash resistant phone, making it ideal to photograph in even the most troubling surroundings.

I’m not sure if we’ll post an in-depth going review of the C702, but I do think we’ll at least test out the statement of it being dust and splash resistant.
