This picture of an unknown low-end Sony Ericsson phone, which is probably going to be announced on the 17th this month, has just been leaked at SE4M.com. There are no rumoured specifications on this model yet, so we can only guess. My guess is that it’s a T-series phone, possibly some sort of successor to the T250/T270/T280, or somewhere close to them.
Update! Apparently this is a J-series phone without a camera… Ah, well, appears this wasn’t the case after all.
Update 2! Here’s a picture of this unknown phone’s backside
Thanks to m-one over at SE-World we did not need to post the internal demo tour of Paris, which is set to be announced on the 17th of next month, so roughly in about 3 weeks. Here’s the video for ya’ (high quality, oh yeah)!
By the way… This is nothing to get too excited about. This is very early stuff, and we’re sure lots of stuff has happened since this video was created.
Our good friends over at Mobile Review have published a preview of the much talked about Paris. There are plenty of screenshots and M-R promises that new spy pictures will be leaked soon. An interesting tidbit to come out of the preview is that Paris will retail for 400 euros. Head over to M-R to read the preview.
It seems like a few people have already noticed the new poll on the sidebar. My question was when you guys think the next announcement will be. I knew the answer when adding the poll, and was interested in seeing what you guys thought, before I’d reveal it
The correct answer would be “Within 4 weeks”. The next product announcement is going to be at CommunicAsia in about a month’s time (the 17th of June). If everything goes by plan, a number of 5-6 devices will be announced, including both BeiBei (G702) and Paris.
While we’re at G702… Its camera is amazing! Yes, it’s a fixed focus camera sensor, but my god, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen! I’ve got a few photo samples here, and the quality of these is definitely on par with the K770, if not better. The amount of details is amazing, and so goes for the colour saturation. You really can’t compare it with i.e. the W890 or W980. The photos I’ve got are still confidential, and can’t be shared, but I think we’ll have a few 100 % crops - make that full size samples - ready for you in a few days, if everything goes by plan Once again, it’s amazing!
Ah yes - the FCC has once again leaked a device before Sony Ericsson has announced it. This time it’s the Japanese-styled BeiBei. I quite like the design of BeiBei - or should I say G702? - although it seems to be marketed at women.
Along with lots of leaked external and internal photos of G702, a set of test results and the internal user manual was published as well. The user manual confirms just about every single thing we’ve told you about BeiBei earlier on, but to sum it up;
- Built-in GPS with WayFinder and Google Maps
- Opera Mobile 9.5 with web widgets
- WLAN
- UIQ 3.3
- The new user interface as in G700/G900
Oh yes - did I forget to mention that it’s got HSDPA, even though it’s running the old hardware platform? Well, that’s what the user manual says - and firmware strings for that matter!
Check out the FCC reports here and here. The most interesting reports including photos are this one and this one.
I bet some of you have checked out the JavaOne conferences, but obviously no-one has gone through them in depth. In one of the videos, Rikko Sakaguchi at Sony Ericsson actually leaks an upcoming phone, well, sort of… After having showcased the video below at the JavaOne conference, Sakaguchi says “actually… you saw the device in the video? That’s something that we’re going to launch this year.” However! If we look closely at a few screenshots from the video, you’ll notice that there’s actually two devices, and not one. Could this be different prototypes for one phone? I mean, Sakaguchi did say “the device”.
Remember, Rikko Sakaguchi is the Senior Vice-President and Head of Product & Application Planning at Sony Ericsson, so it doesn’t get much more official than this.
I must remind you though that this video is almost 2 years old, so a few things might have changed. Now, feel free to let your minds wander.
The last photo of the upcoming BeiBei from SEMCBlog was posted just yesterday, and it looks exactly as I had been told with beautiful markings on the backside. What do you think?
