I thought it would be fun to do a little comparison between the old Idou render and the Satio one. Besides the obvious wallpaper change, can you spot other differences? More than 5 even? Eleven in total, kids.
I was just watching this Swedish video over at Mobil.se about Facebook and Sony Ericsson launching a Facebook application together that integrates with the phone. Apparently, the application will be pre-loaded on many upcoming products, with the C510 being the first.
I sincerely hope they’ll offer it as a free download, so most users can play around with it. It just looks so cool! It seems like the language of the application will be localized, so that’s pretty cool as well!
Here are a few screenshots from the video. If you’re Swedish or would simply like to watch the video, you can check it out here.

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!
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. Sony Ericsson - Find it
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.
