Introducing the Sony Ericsson txt
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011
Sony Ericsson today also announced another handset, but this time, it’s not an Android one, or a Xperia one. It, however, is the “Sony Ericsson TXT” , which is the Sony Ericsson TXT pro’s sister.
Its key features are a full QWERTY keyboard, a shortcut button to SMS messages on keyboard, and a “Friends” application which enables you to see Facebook and Twitter feeds from your top five friends. It has also features Wi-Fi and a 3.2 MP camera with video recording.
Quentin Cordier said this about the phone:
“Sony Ericsson txt is the perfect phone for easy and fast messaging on the move. We wanted to give consumers that prefer a full view QWERTY keyboard an entry point into the world of Sony Ericsson.“
As for a release date, well Sony Ericsson say it will be around from Q3 2011 in selected markets.

SE Announces 2 New Phones: ray & active
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011Sony Ericsson today announced two new handsets, the Xperia ray and the Xperia active’. I know Sony Ericsson are hard up these days, but come on chaps you can afford some capital letters; sorry but it’s a pet peeve of mine. Anyway the handsets!
The Xperia ray features a Mobile BRAVIA engine and Exmor R like the arc and sports a 3.3 inch display with an 8.1 MP camera to back it up. It will come in your choice of colour as long as your choice of colour includes black, gold, white or pink.
The Xperia active, as its name may have suggested, is the phone of choice for the outdoors-man (or clumsy people). The handset is dust and water proof as well as featuring a scratch resistant multi-touch screen with support for wet finger tracking.
The screen is just 3 inches though and the camera also sees a reduction compared with the ray, being a 5 MP model (with HD support).
XPERIA Pro – now in July?
Friday, June 10th, 2011
We just recognized that se-store.co.uk will offer the new XPERIA Pro in late July (UK). But as you know: SE never knows when they’ll release something or anything 
The Sony Ericsson Pro is a full qwerty-keyboard phone with HD-video recording, GreenHeart features (for example charger), WiFi (well, nothing new for Android phones) and with Mobile BRAVIA engine.
Introducing the Xperia Mini Pro

[Leak] Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot smartphone?
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011Many Sony Ericsson fans asked for a new Cyber-shot phone and now it may become real! Soemone leaked some very blurry and unclear pictures where you can see a phone and the texts ‘Sony Ericsson’ and ‘Cyber-shot’ on it. Probably it’s a fake or a early prototype and it looks a bit ‘iPhoneish’ in my opinion.
Unfortunately we can’t see the backside so we don’t know if there is a Xenon flash, how many megapixels it has and if it has optical zoom. As you can see in the picture below there are the common Android buttons so maybe it’ll have latest Android from SE. Anyways it looks a bit ugly, what do you think?

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

A few facts:

Sony Ericsson MWC announcements
Saturday, February 19th, 2011I know that the Sony Ericsson MWC announcements were made almost a week ago, but I have just found on youtube two videos from there.The first one is highlights of the announcements of Xperia Neo, Xperia Pro and Xperia Play, with the second video with the full version of the Xperia Play announcement.
So, if you missed the announcements, at least now you will be able to catch up
You Say Yizo, I say Yendo …
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010The FCC have just approved a Sony Ericsson handset known as ‘Yizo’, but there appears to be some confusion over just what exactly the handset is. You see it looks remarkably similar to the previously announced Yendo. Now of course it wouldn’t be the first time that a mobile manufacturer, particularly Sony Ericsson, has released multiple versions of the same handset (a practice that seems totally pointless in the case of some handsets) so perhaps that’s what this is? If so then it seems a bit odd that it would feature the Walkman logo just the same as Yendo does, it’s even in the same place on both handsets.
More likely is the notion that ‘Yizo’ is simply the regional variation of Yendo that will go on sale in the States. Why that would need a separate name I don’t know, but stranger things have happened. Adding to the confusion though is the fact that Sony Ericsson are operating two separate pages for both handsets, which means that the finished article will indeed be known as Yizo, which in turn would suggest that rather than wanting Yizo to be considered a regional variant of the Yendo, Sony Ericsson are in fact treating this as a fully fledged handset in its own right.
Unless there’s some major difference lurking beneath the hood you can’t help but think they really are the same handset. Maybe Sony Ericsson just really wanted to call it ‘Yizo’ in the first place?
Spiro & Zylo Continue Walkman Line
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010Sony Ericsson added to its Walkman range today with the announcement of Spiro and Zylo, two new music handsets. Neither handset is particularly high-end and both will no doubt be aimed at the lower-end of the market. Not that that’s a bad thing of course, SE can always use some decent hardware in the low to mid-range market segments. In terms of raw specs Zylo edges past Spiro a little, but as mentioned neither are particularly powerful. Both handsets are slated for a Q3 release.
You can check out the specs list for each handset yourself (Spiro & Zylo) and make sure you take a peek at the promo videos below:
