S0X01

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Just recently, Sony Ericsson Japan filed a report of their upcoming SOX01 phone for AU by KDDI.  What does the “X” mean?  I’ll let you guys interpret that.

Update on the X1 UK Generic firmware

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

As promised, here’s a little something about the UK Generic version of the new R2A firmware for the X1. It was supposed to have been released along with the other firmware versions, but has been delayed for unknown reasons. As of now, there is no release date for the UK Generic firmware, but according to Sony Ericsson it should be due shortly.

I wonder what caused the delay, considering the other versions have been released already.

Update! The UK Generic version is now on EMMA, which means it’ll hit SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) soon!

Video: Sony Ericsson phones durability test

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Having read some of the comments about my rather cool (and totally copyrighted!) way of handling the F305, T700 and W302 in the unboxing videos (read: tossing them around a bit), I’ve decided to go all in with a large durability test, and – naturally – caught it all on tape, err, memory card! The durability test included no less than thirty Sony Ericsson phones that all received some TLC before being airborne. To my great surprise, none of the phones received any scratches from this test – great job, Sony Ericsson!

All right… My time is up, and I’ll leave you with the video and a question just below it…

So, have I got too much time on my hands or too many phones to be in my hands? That’s the question!

The phones in the video are:

C902, C905, G900, K530, K660, K700, K750, 2x K770, K800, K850, M600, P990, S500, T68i, T230, T610, W550, 2x W595, 2x W760, W800, 2x W890, W900, W950, W960, X1, and Z320.

Female Bluetooth watches coming tomorrow

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Sony Ericsson will tomorrow announce at least two – possibly three – new Bluetooth watches specifically for women. There’ll be a leather watch and a steel watch, and possibly one in chrome as well. The watches aren’t that fancy looking, and we doubt they’ll sell any good, but let’s wait and see!

So for those of you waiting eagerly for tomorrow; the only thing exciting is the fact that the girls used in the promotional images aren’t bad looking :-)

Update!

Three watches were announced as MBW-200. We guess you could call it MBW-150’s sister (punch intended). It’ll be available in three variants – Contemporary Elegance, Evening Classic, and Sparkling Allure. The MBW-200 will be available in Q4 at an expected price of £210.

Continuing the exclusive quiz: Was your guess correct?

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Well, if you guessed Rika (or G705 Walkman version), you hit the nail on the head! Rika actually seems rather cool. It’ll be announced next month, and I believe it’ll be available in time for the Christmas sales.

Exclusive quiz: Guess the unannounced phone

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

It doesn’t take a genius to know that we’re pretty fond of rumours. Especially when pictures are involved. Just thought we’d share this with you. Can you guess what unannounced phone it is? I’ll give you a rather obvious hint: It’s a Walkman phone. That’s all for now, but hopefully someone will know, and we can post more about it before Sony Ericsson makes it official.

BeiBei in France

Friday, September 5th, 2008

We’ve collected a set of photo samples by the Sony Ericsson G702, codenamed BeiBei, which was unfortunately cancelled. I liked this phone quite a bit. Anyway, here’s BeiBei in France. Press the thumbnails below for the camera samples.

Tova & Remi: Sisters in looks

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!

Exclusive: New K330 and W890 colour variants

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

A few new product colour variants should be appearing soon, including a new white colour trimming for the K330, and a gold one for the W890, a bit like the gold version of W880, that was introduced about a year ago, although only the backside is golden on the W890 version. More pictures after the break. (more…)
