Live X1 webinar starts in 3 hours!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

x1_webinar

Sony Ericsson will host a live X1 webinar in about three hours (at 5 PM CET / GMT +1). The webinar will be about the pre-loaded panels and how you can personalize your XPERIA X1 by downloading new panels.

Sony Ericsson also recently released a new firmware update for the X1, dubbed R2, which speeds up the device and fixed bugs here and there. I wonder if the webinar will mention anything about this update. As of now, there’s still no UK Generic firmware. We’ll keep you updated when it gets released!

Register for the webinar here!

Video: Sony Ericsson phones durability test

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Having read some of the comments about my rather cool (and totally copyrighted!) way of handling the F305, T700 and W302 in the unboxing videos (read: tossing them around a bit), I’ve decided to go all in with a large durability test, and – naturally – caught it all on tape, err, memory card! The durability test included no less than thirty Sony Ericsson phones that all received some TLC before being airborne. To my great surprise, none of the phones received any scratches from this test – great job, Sony Ericsson!

All right… My time is up, and I’ll leave you with the video and a question just below it…

So, have I got too much time on my hands or too many phones to be in my hands? That’s the question!

The phones in the video are:

C902, C905, G900, K530, K660, K700, K750, 2x K770, K800, K850, M600, P990, S500, T68i, T230, T610, W550, 2x W595, 2x W760, W800, 2x W890, W900, W950, W960, X1, and Z320.

Mobile World Congress reminder!

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Don’t forget to visit USEB on Sunday, February 15, where we’ll be covering Sony Ericsson’s press conference and will be posting everything about all the new phones.

Sony Ericsson’s press conference is held at 18:30 CET (GMT+1), and we’re hoping to be able to post live pictures and updates from the event. We’ll naturally also be posting various videos from other websites that we might find interesting. Sony Ericsson usually hold at least two major announcements a year – one of these is at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and we’re hoping Sony Ericsson will make a habit of announcing XPERIA products at MWC.

At last year’s Mobile World Congress we had about 16,000 pageviews on that single day, and we’re confident we’ll break that record this year.  We’re ready – are you?

‘Hello Kitty’ invades the F305

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

hellokitty_f305

It appears that Sony Ericsson is once again teaming up with Sanrio, this time to release a special ‘Hello Kitty’ version of the F305. There aren’t any details as to what it’ll include, but the obvious would be special Hello Kitty content, such as ringtones and wallpapers. The F305 doesn’t support themes, so they can’t include any of those. By the looks of it, this won’t be for the Japanese market…
