Sony Ericsson W715 review up

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

 

The review many of you have been waiting for is finally finished! Sony Ericsson’s very own W715 has been described in detail by yours truly. What’s curious is that it’s actually a double review of the W705 and the W715, since they’re pretty much the same. There are also lots of photos, UI pictures and galleries. I would like to thank Michell for taking the photos of both the W715 and the C510 and for generally helping me out while I was composing the article.

So, we’re quite positive about the phone, really. It’s both elegant and sleek, has Wi-Fi and GPS and boasts superior audio quality. The price is also pretty adequate. Have a look right here:

Sony Ericsson announces Q1 results, mentions next Entertainment Unlimited announcement date

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Sony Ericsson just announced its Q1 financial results, and as expected, things aren’t looking too bright.

q12009

Sony Ericsson will have to perform another cost savings program, which will include a further reduction in employees of approximately 2,000 people.

They’re hoping it’ll be completed in mid 2010.

Also announced today was the next Entertainment Unlimited announcement date. This will be on May 28, and based on what Sony Ericsson wrote in the press release, it will not be about Idou, but a new product.

You can read the entire press release yourself over at Sony Ericsson’s press lounge.

Idou caught on video yet again

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Remember those fantastic live shots of Sony Ericsson’s new flagship phone, namely the Idou? The ones from Mobile@mail. Well, they’ve shot a video as well, showcasing Idou’s dimension and comparing it with the Nokia 5800. What’s more is that they’ve also captured parts of the interface in action, including the media menu, photo gallery and camera. The animations are smooth and flashy, while the responsiveness of touchscreen seems to be rivaled only by that of the iPhone. Good job, SE.

Note that the video is in Russian.

w508-gsmarena

And here we have yet another review straight from the GSMArena testing grounds. It’s about the mid-end W508 walkman clamshell – W980’s little sibling. Ther review is generally quite positive. They praise the sound quality (save for the frequency response), its overall functionality, considerigng it’s a mid-range phone, and the attractive price. Hit the source link to have a look at it.

S312 and W205 promo videos out

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Soo Sony Ericsson has put up the promo videos of their new low-end, namely the S312 and the W205 on their website. But since their flash players are a tad inconvenient to embed (start automatically), we’re posting them in a user-friendly YouTube format. Or rather copying them, since we didn’t actually go through the process of uploading the videos. You can see them below.

In my opinion they’re quite good. Fantastic even. I mean, some of their high-ends have worse promotional videos (read W995).

T707 review at GSMArena

Friday, April 10th, 2009

t707-gsmarena

Here we have another review from the folks at the popular mobile phone site GSMArena. This time it’s about the (relatively) recently announced fashion clamshell – the T707. It’s glitzy, it’s shiny and it’s glowy. Oh, the review itself is quite positive as well (sans a few remarks and a rather stupid conclusion).
Just follow the source link to have a look.
