We’ve just finished up on our Z770 review. Z770 is quite an interesting device, and the design is indeed very much appealing, although far from perfect. The features are a bit above average, and the software platform is superb, with only very minor bugs.
Because the Z770 is very much like the K660 that we’ve already reviewed, we’ve removed a few parts of the Z770 review in order for us not to repeat it over again. If you feel like you’re missing something, please have a look at the K660 review, or contact us.
By the way, this has to be the review with the most pictures in all of USEB’s soon-to-be 1-year history!
Check out the review right here, and please let us know if we’ve made any mistakes.

It seems like a few people have already noticed the new poll on the sidebar. My question was when you guys think the next announcement will be. I knew the answer when adding the poll, and was interested in seeing what you guys thought, before I’d reveal it 
The correct answer would be “Within 4 weeks”. The next product announcement is going to be at CommunicAsia in about a month’s time (the 17th of June). If everything goes by plan, a number of 5-6 devices will be announced, including both BeiBei (G702) and Paris.
While we’re at G702… Its camera is amazing! Yes, it’s a fixed focus camera sensor, but my god, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen! I’ve got a few photo samples here, and the quality of these is definitely on par with the K770, if not better. The amount of details is amazing, and so goes for the colour saturation. You really can’t compare it with i.e. the W890 or W980. The photos I’ve got are still confidential, and can’t be shared, but I think we’ll have a few 100 % crops - make that full size samples - ready for you in a few days, if everything goes by plan Once again, it’s amazing!

Sony Ericsson is one of the official partners of the Transsyberia Rally 2008. Sony Ericsson will be sending out its C702 Cyber-shot phone on the over 4,300-mile long rally from Russia through Siberia into Mongolia.
During this long rally, the rally teams will be blogging from the C702, and every photo they take of the event will be geo-tagged immediately for the world to follow. Apart from that, the C702 is dust and water splash resistant, making it ideal for an event like this.
You can read more about the Transsyberia Rally 2008 at the official website.

Ah yes - the FCC has once again leaked a device before Sony Ericsson has announced it. This time it’s the Japanese-styled BeiBei. I quite like the design of BeiBei - or should I say G702? - although it seems to be marketed at women.
Along with lots of leaked external and internal photos of G702, a set of test results and the internal user manual was published as well. The user manual confirms just about every single thing we’ve told you about BeiBei earlier on, but to sum it up;
- Built-in GPS with WayFinder and Google Maps
- Opera Mobile 9.5 with web widgets
- WLAN
- UIQ 3.3
- The new user interface as in G700/G900
Oh yes - did I forget to mention that it’s got HSDPA, even though it’s running the old hardware platform? Well, that’s what the user manual says - and firmware strings for that matter!
Check out the FCC reports here and here. The most interesting reports including photos are this one and this one.

Five days ago, Sony Ericsson published the second, revised version of the X1 whitepaper.
As always, there’ll be a few moments of pure druelling and awe, but once that’s over, some people might notice a few changes. One of the changes is that the X1 now comes with 256 megabytes of RAM memory compared to 128 megabytes in the release version. This is major! This basically means that the X1 will be a lot faster, and its multitasking abilities will be greatly enhanced by this.
Another thing I noticed was some amazing battery life times. In standby, Sony Ericsson had measured standby times up to 580 hours on GSM networks, while the X1 came up to an amazing 833 hours of standby on UMTS. Wow! It’s impressive what a 1500 mAh battery can do for a phone.
