It’s limited. It’s expensive. And boy, it does look sooooooo good.

On the 17th of June Sony Ericsson invited me for their Sound Snack event. Their goal was to tell us about their new study called Sound Snacking. In short, sound snacking means almost the same as the ordinary food snacking, listening to a piece of music to make you feel better. All of this will be explained later on.
The event
All invited press members were divided in groups with a maximum of four people. I was invited for the shift at ten o’clock, but I was late so I had to go with the next one. At the beginning we were taken to this really big room without any lights, the only thing I could see was a SE truck standing in the corner and the stairs between me and the truck.

It’s quite a busy day since first Shiho (C905) got leaked and now we are presenting Alicia.
To say it plain, it’s quite the same thing as the already known W980i with small differences.
With emphasis to the animations that appear on the outer and hidden display it’s another phone that could be seen as an emotional series phone. Depending from your local services the animations on the display will show the current weather or some nice walkman animations.
The display will also show changing themes depending on the time of the day.
Thanks to phoner @ esato for that nice leak

Thought I’d just post a few photos of the G700 and G900 compared to each other, and just for the fun of it, add a W960 in on one of the photos, to show you how small these really are. Keep in mind that W960 was actually quite an improvement over other UIQ phones. As you can see, the G’s are quite alike, with only minor hardware differences.

Sony Ericsson just recently launched a new firmware for the K660, W890, W910, Z750 and Z770. This one is called R1FA030, and is available on Sony Ericsson Update Service.
As of this moment, I’ve only heard feedback from W910 users, but the user feedback so far is quite good, and reports say that the device generally feels faster after the update, especially in the Media menu even with great amounts of files. I’d be surprised if this doesn’t go for the rest of the phones as well. Other than, Sony Ericsson apparently did some fixing on the rather buggy video playing, and the phones should now be a lot better at playing videos. An option to update the media library has also been added to the Media menu.
Let’s hope the rest of the A2 phones will get their firmwares updated soon as well!

Softpedia reports that the W760 will soon hit Europe in a somewhat crazy new MTV-branded suit, full of colours and patterns, which looks a bit disturbing, in my opinion. This variant will be available in a few weeks starting off in Italy, and is set to retail at about 300 euros, which is actually a tad more than the normal one costs.
When it comes to specifications nothing has changed, as you’d figure, and there are even no reports of added MTV content or alike on the phone, apart from the fact that it apparently will make it a tad easier to stream MTV videos to your phone. Let’s hope this will change, shall we?

Sony Ericsson today launched a few extra colour variants of the K660, and a new smashing red colour variant for the W580. The new K660 colours are called Cyan on Black & Silver on Black, while the red W580 colour variant will be called Velvet Red. In my opinion the red colour on the W580 makes it look extremely hot!
