A new picture of earlier shown Susan appeared on the net, if you look on the statusbar it looks alot like the Android statusbar. If Susan runs Android or not isn’t known, it could be a new Sony Ericsson platform or a new Symbian phone perhaps?
These live photos of the black version of the upcoming Sony Ericsson C905 have just been posted at the Arabic Sony Ericsson fan site, SE4M.com. I quite like the look of it, although it seems fairly thick and a bit heavy, at almost 20 millimetres in thickness and 136 grams on the weight scales.
Sony Ericsson just recently launched a new firmware for the K660, W890, W910, Z750 and Z770. This one is called R1FA030, and is available on Sony Ericsson Update Service.
As of this moment, I’ve only heard feedback from W910 users, but the user feedback so far is quite good, and reports say that the device generally feels faster after the update, especially in the Media menu even with great amounts of files. I’d be surprised if this doesn’t go for the rest of the phones as well. Other than, Sony Ericsson apparently did some fixing on the rather buggy video playing, and the phones should now be a lot better at playing videos. An option to update the media library has also been added to the Media menu.
Let’s hope the rest of the A2 phones will get their firmwares updated soon as well!
I just saw that Johan from Sony Ericsson’s Developer World has posted a post including this very video of Sony Ericsson at the JavaOne conference a few days ago. The video is basically an interview of Christopher David, who’s responsible for the long-term platform planning Java. Check out the video, where Christopher talks about the new Mobile Services Architecture (MSA), as well as the new Project Capuchin. If you’re not in it for the developer talk, then have a look anyway - most of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming phones, such as C702, C902, G700, G900 and W980, are also featured in this video. If you’re a bit sentimental, you might also want to check out the K850 controlling the classic Sony Ericsson Bluetooth car, CAR-100.
Sony Ericsson today published a new version of its Theme Creator application for creating themes for its features phones and Symbian based smart phones. The new version has hit v. 3.27, and will be adding support for the following phones:
C702
C902
G700
G900
R300
R306
T303
W350
W760
W980
Z555
Z770
There’s still no sign of support for the XPERIA X1, although Sony Ericsson has said it’ll support it in a near future. The newly announced G502 and Z780 are also missing, but I’m sure they’ll work with themes created for i.e. the C902 or W760 (A2 phones).
