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.

Sony Ericsson G705 Reviewed

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

The folks at GsmArena have just published a comprehensive review of the Sony Ericsson G705. Here’s what they had to say:

Guts to stand up to smartphones and utterly self-effacing looks is a nice little twist we guess. It’s like the G705 is there saying “Misjudge me, be my guest”.

Yes, with a feature set like that, looks are the last thing it needs to boost self-esteem. Actually, if that’s how midrange spec sheets are shaping, we dare not imagine what better treats future top devices hold in stock for us. If nothing else, Sony Ericsson G705 deserves credit for pioneering the shift.

It seems Sony Ericsson do have a winner here.

Video: Sony Ericsson G502

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Here’s a quick look at the recently released Sony Ericsson G502. Enjoy the video!

PS. Yeah, we’re now broadcasting in high definition and high quality! Let us know what you think! :-) We’ll still keep on uploading to YouTube for those with limited bandwidth, but you’ll have to find the videos on YouTube yourself, as we’ll only include the high definition ones from blip.tv in the blog posts.

Gallery: Sony Ericsson G502

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Received this baby a few days ago. It actually feels surprisingly well in your hand, it generally nicer to use than the K660, which is very much alike to the G502. Due to a very tight schedule and high similarity to the K660, I probably won’t do a full-scale review of the G502, but rather a large-scaled preview. While we’re on the subject, the W980 is coming, just have to finish it – again, tight schedule.

Anyway, here’s a large gallery of the black G502. Enjoy! :)

Sony Ericsson G705 and G705u announced

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Sony Ericsson today announced the G705 – as expected – and also a special Orange-branded variant of it, called G705u, which is Sony Ericsson’s first phone to support UMA, which gives you the ability to make calls via the regular cellular networks as well as LAN networks. Pretty neat.

I believe we’ve already mentioned the spefications of G705 quite a few times, so I’ll just mention the most important ones again. 2.4 inch display (QVGA resolution), HSDPA/HSUPA (HSUPA for the American model), WLAN with support for DLNA, GPS with support for aGPS, FM radio with RDS, NetFront browser, A2 platform, 3.2 mega pixel fixed focus camera. A 1 GB memory card comes bundled. It is essentially a C905 with added HSUPA, but without the excellent camera. Sony Ericsson didn’t fail to add a few extra goodies, though. Sony Ericsson also today announced a new partnership with Google, meaning that you’ll be able to download and upload videos from and to YouTube directly from the G705. This feature will not be exclusive to the G705, and it’ll also be added in future models, and hopefully also current models.

The G705 will be available in Silky Gold and Majestic Black variants in early Q4 – that’s soon! The American model supporting the faster HSUPA networks will be available in Q1. The G705u will be available in early Q4 as well in Luminous Black.

Now… where can you find more on this phone? Well, SE-community posted a rather large gallery of this baby, and I can assure you it looks good. Find it over here. Not only did they settle with posting a gallery, though, so you can also find two videos on YouTube showing the phone and its user interface. I’ll probably post some of the official press pictures later on, but I’ll leave you with this for now as I’m loaded with school assignments at the moment.

G705 demo tour video leaked

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

This was posted by Cell Phone Sail at cellphonesail.wordpress.com. I think it looks rather nice, although I would have preferred another colour variant.

YouTube Preview Image

While we’re at it with the leaks, Maximys posted some information about three codenames of upcoming phones – Athena, Miranda and Yue.

We’ve got some juicy stuff on a new Walkman phone as well for next year, but you’ll have to wait a bit for that :)

Twelve new phone colour variants

Friday, August 29th, 2008

It seems like Sony Ericsson would rather announce new colour variants of already announced phone models than announce completely new phones. Within a short period of time, Sony Ericsson’s presented no less than twelve new phone colour variants for a total of six phones, and with more to come.

The C902 was presented in a Cinnamon Bronze variant. Other than that, the C902 was also recently announced to make its appearance in a James Bond variant, dubbed Titanium Silver.
