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.

We’ve tried Sony Ericsson’s sharp-shooting C905

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Today we received the new Sony Ericsson C905. It comes in a pretty standard piano black box with “8.1 megapixel” printed on it. It’s pretty obvious that Sony Ericsson wants to compete against its competitors with what is technically speaking a false statement, but let’s not go into details about that now.

When you get the C905 in your hand for the very first time, you get a feel of quality. The rubberized backside feels exquisite, and the sliding mechanism really is top notch. Fortunately, some might add, as it would have been an utter disaster had it not been. (more…)

Video preview: Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Here’s our 12-minute video preview of the drool-worthy XPERIA X1. In the video, we’re covering the design and feel of the phone, boot-up, the XPERIA panels, camera and briefly the two web browsers, Opera Mobile and Mobile Internet Explorer. We hope you enjoy the video, as it was straight-up painful to upload (almost 300 megabytes) – this one is not going on YouTube, that’s for sure! At least not today. Keep in mind this is a prototype, although it seems in a stage awfully near retail.

Preview: Sony Ericsson W902

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Our Sony Ericsson W902 preview has just been published, and brings along a few changes in our upcoming reviews and previews. First and foremost – larger images! We’ve now taken the step to publish 700 pixel wide images within reviews and previews. Hopefully this will mean that you’ll be able to see all the details. Secondly, we’ll be starting to use real phone screenshots, whether it’s a feature phone or a smart phone. In some rare cases, though, you’ll still have to cope with high quality images of the phone’s display. I’m sure you’ve also noticed some of our high-definition videos here at USEB. Well, we’ll start implementing more and more of these into reviews and previews in the future.

Check out the large preview of the W902 here!

Preview: Sony Ericsson W595

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

I’ve just finished writing a large-scaled preview of the new Sony Ericsson W595. I think it’s an excellent (music) phone at a very attractive price, but its camera is not exactly the most impressive I’ve seen.

I hope I can post a preview of the Sony Ericsson W902 as well tomorrow. Some of you might be thinking why only a preview and not a full review? Well, I’m hoping that I’ve got a wee surprise coming tomorrow that’ll take most of the already decreasing amount of spare time I’ve got. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Anywhoo, I hope you’ll enjoy the preview!

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Sam over at Xperiancers has posted a new video of the X1 in action after receiving a C&J model. Until the retail model hits the shops next week this is the closest version of the handset to the end customer model that we can see.
