The Sony Ericsson W902 has just been leaked at SE4M, as well as a few teasers at Esato. This phone is codenamed Patti, and is basically a Walkman branded C902 with a few changes, such as dedicated music controls on the side.
Also leaked earlier on was the W595. While I was on a short vacation, additional pictures have surfaced the web of this one - some of Esato and some on Myphone.gr. They don’t really show much, and the ones from Myphone.gr are just as blurry as the first leaks, so I didn’t include either. I’m sure you’ll be able to find them, if you’re good with Google. If not, let me know.
I’ve included the many photos of W902 just below. Both this one and W595 will be announced on July 22nd at a Walkman / music gig. I think another phone will be announced here as well - not the T610 remake, though, this is for a later announcement this year.
Sweden-based Sony Ericsson, the world’s fourth largest cellphone vendor, is in talks to acquire India-based Spice Mobile, reports the Economic Times. Spice Mobile, a BK Modi company, has a range of GSM and CDMA handsets under the Spice brand. The company had announced a sub-$20 phone devoid of a display screen in February at the Mobile World Congress.
Spice Mobile has a market capitalisation of round Rs 177 crore with its shares closing at Rs 22.7 on Thursday on the Bombay Stock Exchange. However, Modi is looking for Rs 80 - 100 per share, which values Spice Mobile at around Rs 700 crore. Modi had last month exited his other telecom entity, Spice Telecom, a carrier operational in two circles of Punjab and Karnataka.
Here we’ve got a rather nice little gallery of the cancelled Sony Ericsson G702, codenamed BeiBei, for you. This is - of course - a prototype, build AP 1.1. This gallery will also teach you a thing or two about how prototype boxes look, and what they contain. Only the most normal stuff, nothing fancy. Enjoy!
By the way… I’ll be taking a small vacation, and won’t be back till Thursday.
Sony Ericsson recently selected Swedish mobile games developer and publisher GlobalFun as one of its two official content acquisition partner for the upcoming PlayNow Arena and Fun & Downloads services.
As of now, there are no official statements from Sony Ericsson, but a few from GlobalFun.
- We have since the beginning of our business aimed to provide our customers, of which Sony Ericsson is a highly valued one, with high quality premium content. This appointment serves for us as a proof that our strategy on content acquisition and account management has been and still is the correct one, says Bertil Krumnack, EVP Sales & Business Development at GlobalFun.
Also commenting on the deal was GlobalFun CEO, Marcus Johansson.
The trust that Sony Ericsson is showing us by appointing us as one of two content acquisition partners is very flattering. We will do our very best to exceed the expectations in this area and to continue to grow our mutual business, says Marcus.
In my opinion, Sony Ericsson could easily have picked a better games developer than GlobalFun. Sure, their games are okay, but there are many other developers out there that publish better games. A 5-year contract has been signed to ensure close cooperations between the two companies.
