Put On Your Dancing Shoes And Do The Fanwalk!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

MTV invites all music lovers to search for their dancing shoes and participate on a trip from London to Liverpool’s European Music Awards — the so-called fanwalk. For nine days (29.10. – 06.11.2008) the 100 winners will blog, do interviews and photo shoots on fanwalk.tv.

To become one of these 100, you have to get a nickpage on the above site — that will launch on August 11th — and get as much votes for you as possible.

We assume it will be available in other languages from 11th.

Friday, August 1st, 2008

We showed you the first pics of Remi in June and highlighted the similarity to the T610. Back then we only had an official photo of the T610 we could compare Remi with.
Now we are happy to show you a face to face of the two sisters.

useb|de Presents JavaOne, Take Two.

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We posted about a new device leaked in a video from the JavaOne conference back in May.

Due to the rather low resolution of that video, details were rare. Now useb|de managed to get their hands on a better version of that video – check out a composition of screenshots after the jump!

Say hello to the G705

Monday, July 28th, 2008

The arabic community se4m.com is well known for providing pics and information on upcoming Sony Ericsson phones. Today they strike again as they present us the first pictures of what is supposed to be a new G-Series slider.

The device sports a 3.2 megapixels fixed focus camera with an LED. Other features include a built-in GPS, 2.4 inch display, and it runs the A2 software platform. It will also have built-in WLAN!

We expect this phone to be announced together with Remi in about a fortnight.

All pics after the jump.

Now launching: useb|de

USEB has become one of the best – if not the best – blogs dedicated to Sony Ericsson, offering news, rumours & reviews.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the SE community is good enough in English to enjoy all aspects the USEB offers. That’s why we launch our first local site to test the waters for such a service. Being German myself, it’s the most obvious step to start with a localized German blog offering the same content we have here, but translated like no online tool is able to.
You can find useb|de at blogde.se-nse.net to get an impression of it.

Do you have ideas for other localized versions? Feel free to comment.

xell.
