The K660 and W890 models are soon going to be hitting the shops around the world. They’ll be priced somewhere between £200 - £250, which isn’t bad at all.

You can check out the K660 at Sony Ericsson’s 3D demo website, and spin it around to look at whatever detail you might want to look at.

The W890 websites have also been created now, which means you can check out a 3D demo of the phone, try it out for yourself or even go to the WAP portal and download W890 related stuff. What’s interesting is that the Espresso Black version seems to be missing from every single piece of media on the W890. I’m guessing it’s been cancelled.

I’ve already signed up for a W890 review model, and am expecting one to come along this week or early next week

After days of rumours and pictures the W980 is finally officially announced. In terms of features the handset is positioned in the high-end of Sony Ericsson’s portfolio and boasts 8 Gb of internal memory, HSDPA connectivity and a 3.2 MP camera. A full list of its specifications is presented below.

The handset is quite exciting as it represents the first time Sony Ericsson has released a high-end clamshell handset since the Z1010. It is also notable because it offers much of the same music functionality as the recently released W960 smartphone, but without the smartphone part, which may appeal to those who want the W960’s music capabilities in a non-smartphone package.

Sony Ericsson are currently listing the W980 as being available from Q3 in selected markets. This puts the release time frame somewhere between July and September.

mBrain Software, the company behind the PDF-viewer on M600, P1, P990 and W960, has just released a free ROM update for these phones. I’ve tried it on my W960 and so far it looks good. It installed without any problems and seems to be working just fine.

In order to get this “Christmas present” from mBrain Software, go to this web site and browse to the bottom of the page and download the Pdf+UIQ_3x_ROM_Upgrade_1_75_05_signed.sis file.

Apparently K850 is already available in Bulgaria with beta firmware. So is the K770, T650, W910 & W960, it’s written at SE-NSE. Some places are counting on having K850 in stock tomorrow, others will have it the day after tomorrow, some around the 13th and some aren’t even counting on getting it this month! Oh my God, I can’t wait to get a real official release date, so I can get the phone!
