Sony Ericsson have recently added 2 new mini-sites to their ever-growing portfolio of… well, mini-sites, or campaign sites, as they like to call them.
So, the first one is about this app they developed, called ‘Find It’. As the site says, it “can help you locate a whole range of items: your tent at a festival; your car in a crowded car park; your hotel in a busy tourist area; your favourite spot on the beach .” Basically, it’s an app that allows you to tag locations, so that you can find them more easily later on (note, locations, not the TV remote). It requires the HGE-100 GPS enabler accessory in order to work and no, you can’t use your phone’s inbuilt GPS if you have one.

The second campaign site is about some new and hopefully many upcoming motion-controlled… stuff. Wallpapers, games… other things you might want to be motion-controlled, you name it. They’ve even put up a video to hype you up. You know, one of those artistic type of videos that glue your eyes to the screen, despite the fact that they tell you little or nothing about what they’re actually about. After watching the video you are presented with two links. One of them takes you to the main page of PlayNow arena - nothing special. The second brings you to SE’s Fun & Downloads site to browse the (surprisingly many) motion-controlled games. Thankfully, there are a few free wallpapers as well, which are quite nifty.

Released back in October 2007 exclusively for the Japanese market, Sony Ericsson W53S is now available with 100 different faces or Panels, created either by Sony Ericsson, Disney or by famous designers from Tokyo and the world. So it pretty much gets the title of the “most customizable” mobile handset created until now
By default, the W53S comes with only one face [well, normally phones do come with one only ;-)] but users can buy any of the other 99 faces (or panels, as many like to call them) and change the appearance of the handset everyday. So it’ll be quite helpful for the moody!
The handset features a 2.7 inch TFT internal display with 240 x 432 pixels and 260,000 colors, a 1 inch OLED external screen, built-in GPS with maps, a 2 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and video recording, a “Jog Dial” navigation pad, Web and email capabilities, Media player, access to music and video online stores, two 3D stereo speakers, mobile wallet, 100MB of built-in memory and microSD card support. Coming in a clamshell form factor, the W53S weighs 117 grams and, when closed, it measures 107 x 49 x 20 millimeters.
Another good example of a state of the art handset, exclusively for the Japanese market. Does make us wonder when we’ll be able to lay our hands on such beauties

From the second K850 and W910 were announced, I knew that there would be a way to customize the media player look of these. Even bigger did my gut feeling get when I got both phones and realized that the look changed accordingly to the themes. But even though I had found out that it had something to do with the themes, I didn’t investigate more into that. Now it seems that some people at Esato have found a way, and there is a discussion thread about it here. So if you want to change the look of the media player on your K850 or W910, take a look at the discussion going on.
By the way, I am pretty sure that this also goes for other A200 phones (K630, K660, v640, Z750, etc.)
