Just got my hands on the brand new W715, and wanted to share a few very quick pictures and thoughts of it with you. Enjoy!
The W715 looks and feels a lot like the classic W880, yet in a more modern package a la the W995.
The W715 is a slim and compact phone that feels as light as a feather in your hand.
Here it is with Sony Ericsson’s upcoming W995. There are quite a bit of similarities, both design and specification wise.
Contrary to the W995, the keypad on the W715 feels good to use.
The back of the W715 is rubberized, and feels rather good. The 3.2 megapixel camera is located on the top with an LED flash, and there’s an interesting texture design on the back of the slider.
And here it is from another view, where it almost looks blue.
I will do a (video) preview of the W715 soon-ish and a gallery of the phone as well. Perhaps even an unboxing video, if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. Stay tuned for more!
Sony Ericsson today announced that its Chief Technology Officer Mats Lindoff has decided to leave the company effective 31st of March, apparently to pursue new career opportunities. Effective 1st of April, Ronald ‘Ron’ Louks, who is currently the Head of Technology, Americas, and Deputy CTO at Sony Ericsson, will assume the role of CTO.
“After six inspiring years I have decided to pursue other opportunities outside Sony Ericsson. To be a member of the team who has built up Sony Ericsson has been a great privilege. The course of evolution and change in our industry has been extraordinary, thanks to the very creative, innovative and passionate people I have met at Sony Ericsson. I leave the company with many fond memories and wish the company well in the future,” said Mats Lindoff in a press release.
Mats has been a great part of Sony Ericsson, and he will indeed be missed.
Here’s our quick video preview at the upcoming Sony Ericsson C901 and C903 Cyber-shot handsets. These are naturally prototypes, and although the software is incredibly stable, it’ll probably change a bit in the final versions. The C901 and C903 will be out in shops in Q2 this year.
By the way… should any of you have any ideas to some background music we can use, then please speak up. I’m running out of new content (well, I already have run out), and it’s rather hard to find music we can legally use.
Don’t you just love official ‘oops’ leaks? I most certainly do, and today just happens to be a day housing one of these ‘oops’ leaks.
The Chinese mobile and gadgets website IT168 recently published a series of photos from an official Sony Ericsson press conference, and on a few of the photos appeared some unannounced phones - the M610, T707 and P3.
The T707 is the most interesting of the bunch, as it’ll get announced shortly. Its codename is Elle, and it’ll come in a variety of colour variants. We know of five variants, but there may be more. From the photo we can say that the phone will be a quad-band GSM / dual-band UMTS/HSPA (up to 7.2 Mbps) phone, and it measures 93 x 50 x 14 millimetres. It’ll weigh 98 grams. It will feature a 2.2-inch TFT display. It seems to come with a 1 GB Memory Stick Micro card, and it’ll be based on the OSE operating system by Enea, just like most of Sony Ericsson’s other feature phones. Its hardware platform seems to be the Ericsson EMP U330.
And then out of the blue comes a photo of the 2007 portfolio with mentionings of the M610 and P3. The picture of the Walkman phone is apparently P3 (not true - and a fake picture, too). Not only is it weird that they included these two phones in the presentation, but it is more weird that they even got the picture of the P3 wrong. Shame on you, Sony Ericsson, for mentioning cancelled phones…
