GSMArena previews the Aino

Friday, May 29th, 2009

gsmarena-aino

And here we have yet another preview from the GSMArena labs. This time it’s about Sony Ericsson’s semi-touchscreen Aino. Yep, the one with the new Media center, PS3 Remote Play, Wi-Fi and teh 8 megapixel camera. Generally, they seem to be quite happy with the handset, although at numerous points they reserved their judgement, due to the unoptimized condition of the pre-release software. Here’s the conclusion:

Well, the Sony Ericsson Aino surely did surprise it. The very concept of it is so un-Sony-Ericsson-like. You’ve got a huge touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all of the other the well-known goodies. We’ve gotta say that the microSD card support is more than welcome as well.

No longer do you have to choose between a Cyber-shot and a Walkman, and no longer should you go for other mobile phones when decent video recording is a must. It seems that Sony Ericsson are changing their game plan and thus they may be even changing the game itself.

GSMArena previews the Yari

Friday, May 29th, 2009

gsmarena-preview-yari

The lads at GSMArena have done a pretty positive preview of Sony Ericsson’s recently announced gaming phone. Here’s the conclusion:

So there you have it – while the Sony Ericsson Yari isn’t a revolutionary device, Sony Ericsson have just successfully revolutionized their portfolio. You’ve got a top-notch music player, high-res camera with Face and Smile detection, GPS receiver, a praise-worthy web browser and the latest in Sony Ericsson UI development all in one device. Not to mention the extraordinary gesture-based gaming.

CNET Germany previews the Idou

Friday, May 15th, 2009

idou-movie-night

Here we have a recently-posted video by CNET, previewing Sony Ericsson’s latest flagship phone. This time around we get to see the internet browser. Guess what? It has full flash support! Page rendering and panning also seem fantastic. The video is in German, though.

We’re taking a closer look at the W715

Friday, March 13th, 2009

nkn_0350-edit

Just got my hands on the brand new W715, and wanted to share a few very quick pictures and thoughts of it with you. Enjoy! :-)

nkn_0352-edit

The W715 looks and feels a lot like the classic W880, yet in a more modern package a la the W995.

nkn_0357-edit

The W715 is a slim and compact phone that feels as light as a feather in your hand.

nkn_0362-edit

Here it is with Sony Ericsson’s upcoming W995. There are quite a bit of similarities, both design and specification wise.

nkn_0364-edit

Contrary to the W995, the keypad on the W715 feels good to use.

w715

The back of the W715 is rubberized, and feels rather good. The 3.2 megapixel camera is located on the top with an LED flash, and there’s an interesting texture design on the back of the slider.

And here it is from another view, where it almost looks blue.

I will do a (video) preview of the W715 soon-ish and a gallery of the phone as well. Perhaps even an unboxing video, if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. Stay tuned for more!

Video: C901 and C903 preview

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Here’s our quick video preview at the upcoming Sony Ericsson C901 and C903 Cyber-shot handsets. These are naturally prototypes, and although the software is incredibly stable, it’ll probably change a bit in the final versions. The C901 and C903 will be out in shops in Q2 this year.

By the way… should any of you have any ideas to some background music we can use, then please speak up. I’m running out of new content (well, I already have run out), and it’s rather hard to find music we can legally use.

Video: Sony Ericsson W995 preview

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Here’s our 17-minute video preview of the Sony Ericsson W995, which was announced last Sunday. The video includes parts about the design, comparisons with other devices, including the C901 and C903, and of course a fairly thorough walk-through of the user interface and some of the features. Please keep in mind that the phones shown in the video are very early prototypes running very early software. The icons are messed up at the moment, the Walkman player seems to be going through some kind of restructuring, and several features are missing.

The video was a pretty quick job. Didn’t have much time to edit it (not that it would have been much better, but still…), so you’ll have to live with me dropping the phones, etc., now and then.

You might also want to check out our large gallery of the W995, which was posted right here, in case you haven’t done so already.

We’re taking a sneak peak look at the Sony Ericsson W995

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

We’ve got our hands on not one, not two, but three prototype units of the new Sony Ericsson W995. Now, I haven’t got much time on my hands at the moment, so I’ll just post a series of very quick – and I do mean very quick – pictures of the phones. It’s a very, very, very nice handset and definitely something I won’t be without!

You can of course find out more about the W995, that was announced just a few days ago, right over here!

We’ll post a preview of the W995, along with the C901 and C903, over the next few days. Once the retail units hit the shelves, we’re also going to give away three Sony Ericsson W995 retail units, along with a lot of other devices, so stay tuned :)

We’ve tried YouTube on the X1

Friday, February 13th, 2009

x1_youtube_1

The XPERIA panels is one of the key selling points of the X1, and it’s one of the features I love the most about my X1. The panels make it easier for me to do tasks on my phone, and especially the Facebook  and YouTube panels are cool, if you’re into that kind of stuff. In this post I’ll talk about the YouTube panel, which – when it comes down to it – is hardly a panel.

In order to get things moving, you’ll need an X1 (obviously), the YouTube application for your device (originally for the HTC Touch HD) and of course the YouTube panel itself. You can find the YouTube application for the X1 right here, and the panel is available here. Install the application first, and the panel after that. You might also need to run this installation file, if the panel is not working. If you’re using a non-English X1, you’ll have to check the comments below for a work-around.

OK – now you’re ready to watch YouTube videos on your X1! You will of course have to activate the panel from the panel settings menu, but assuming you’ve already taken care of that, I’ll move right along and start talking about the application / panel. (more…)

Preview: Sony Ericsson F305

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

f305

We got our hands on SE’s dedicated gaming handset, the F305. It’s a low-endish slider with a 2 inch large screen. Its resolution is 176×220 pixels and it shows up to 262.144 colours.

Other features include a 2 megapixel camera (unfortunately said camera lacks both auto focus and any light) and an accelerometer for motion based gaming.

Take the jump for more information and pictures.
