Here I am again :-)

Friday, December 7th, 2007

So now I’ve got some free time on my hands and would like to start off with a small announcement. I’ve told you I’d be getting P1, which I won’t. Because I changed my mind today and decided to get a W960 instead! :-) I’ll order it this Monday and hopefully I should have it Tuesday or Wednesday. Anyhow, here’s a small recap of the things that have happened while I was busy.

Sony Ericsson has expanded its Developer World site so there is now also a full Chinese site with a Chinese developer forum to it. This means there’ll be tutorials, articles, RSS feeds, discussions and such in Chinese as well from now on.

A patent has been found where Sony Ericsson has patented a technology that will enable camera based control. This means that Sony Ericsson will be one step closing to creating an interactive phone that can react to a person’s gestures – perhaps this could mean that a person could wave with his hand in front of a camera on the phone and the phone would react accordingly to the movements and commands given by the hand – all I can say is COOL!

Sony Ericsson’s double slider concept

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I know I’m a bit late at posting this, but I’ve been a bit busy and I’m actually in kind of a rush right now, so… This is a concept created by Sony Ericsson which shows a phone with a double slider keypad / keyboard. Anyways, here are some pictures of the concept. Enjoy! :-)

My P5i concept

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

Had some spare time and thought I’d try to do (another) P5i concept. I know there are loads of these flying around the Internet already, but I think this one is one of the best :-) The reason why I created the back-button is because I really miss it and I hope it’ll be there :-D D-pad? Well, I liked the one on the P990.

My photoshopped W880 in red

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

w880_red_photoshop.jpgI just finished reading some of the usual number of blogs I read every day, and saw that Teemu from SEfanatics had written something about him wanting to see a red version of the W880 – and then I thought how cool a bloody-red colored W880 would look! So I started up Photoshop, and began my editing. The final result isn’t as flattering and cool, as I’d imagined (I wanted the red color to be more blood-like), but here it is! I hope you like it! 8-) You can press the thumbnail for a larger view.

PS. Please don’t start posting this as an upcoming Sony Ericsson phone or color variant at all the different forums, because it’s simply not – it’s a photoshopped picture!

Back from Prague & short recap of the week

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

I’m finally back from Prague after 5 lovely days of low prices and bulging meals. But enough about Prague, let’s get back to Sony Ericsson! Here’s a short recap of the week.

Sony Ericsson Z320 and Z750 have both been approved by FCC, and will soon be available. As far as I know Z750 will be available for the American market only, while Z320 will come in both an American version as well as an international version.

Sony Ericsson Developer World has set up a competition to get more tutorials, guides and such in their Wiki. This time you can win a new Sony Ericsson W910 by writing a article about the new JP8 and the JSRs in it. Check the official site for more info.

Pictures of an unknown W880 successor have been on surfacing the web lately. It’s reportedly a 12 mm Walkman phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and Walkman Player 3.0. Specification wise it looks a lot like the K770, and makes use of the same, new menu interface. You can find pictures of it here!

The Havanna range of phones, which I did a post about earlier on, has now officially been announced. The same has the V640, which is a non-Walkman branded music phone exclusively for Vodafone with HSDPA.

Last but not least it seems that Sony Ericsson could be working on a new concept, which pretty much is a sliding touchscreen, that can work as both navigation keys and a small / large screen depending on what one uses it for.

Hotaru concept with DramaVIEW

Friday, September 14th, 2007

hotaru_concept.jpgheart.jpgThis is one of the best and prettiest concepts I’ve ever seen! It’s absolutely stunning, if you ask me. It’s created by WhiteEye, who I personally think could have a future working at Sony Ericsson in the design section – I think that would be great for both him, Sony Ericsson and us consumers, of course ;)

Anyhow, let’s have some detailed information about the concept and the cool (concept-) technology called DramaVIEW. Here’s what WhiteEye wrote at Esato:

Sony Ericsson Hotaru. with DramaVIEW™
A premium-finished clamshell phone with DramaVIEW™ and 3.2 MP AF camera . A part of Beauty Renaissance 2.0 series.

message.jpgAbout DramaVIEW™
It’s a herd of 25 “living” fireflies on the exteior surface of the handset. It’s more than an animation, it’s alive. Your fireflies always continuously move here and there, all the time! When the night comes, their shows just get more and more attractive. You can set them according to your mood, e. g. sad, serious, aggresive, etc (22 preset “emotions” available) then they will adjust their formation, speed and orientation of the movements.

When you get new message, or call, or any notification, the fireflies automatically will arrange themselves into a representative icon.

This is DramaVIEW™. So emotional to view. So dramatic to feel.

Available in Apocalypse Black and Borneo Orchid, Sony Ericsson Hotaru always be your timeless companion–and your best friends’ jealousy as well.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Great hybrid concept

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

The user ‘Xajel’ at Esato has posted a really great concept, which looks sooooo fantastic! It’s a high quality concept, and the features are amazing. Check out what Xajel wrote about his concept and then the two different versions.

very basic, rather than mobile phone in front and camera in the back…
Walkman in the front and Cyber-Shot in the back…

I just started new series called H, this one is called H1i, H stands for Hybrid ( Walkman + Cyber-Shot )
this thing is above high-end range, not Ultra high-end but just some thing in the middle

the whole front side is touch sensitve, not bottons here, these are just painted letters with backlight ability in the dark, the display is 3” fully blended in the front design, with Widescreen resolution of 480×270… a 7.2MP camera with another Hybrid wich is the flash ( both Xenon and LEd in the same package to save space ), specifications are still in draft, just wait for the final one …

I hope you like it, it’s my first one guys !!

two colors, Metallic Black, and Pearly White

I can’t wait to see the ‘final version’, if this is only a draft. Beautiful work, Xajel, and now the pictures… First up is the Metallic Black and second is the Pearly White, which is my favorite one. Click the pictures to enlarge.
