Linda has been a known codename for quite some time now, but until now we really haven’t had any phones to match with the codename. Now, a bunch of photos of the upcoming W595 - W580 successor - leaked on Journaldugeek.
The Sony Ericsson G700 is Sony Ericsson’s cheapest smart phone to date, and probably also the last Sony Ericsson phone to be making use of the UIQ user interface. It’s not necessarily marketed as being a smart phone, but rather being a smart feature phone.
Sony Ericsson recently selected Swedish mobile games developer and publisher GlobalFun as one of its two official content acquisition partner for the upcoming PlayNow Arena and Fun & Downloads services.
The T610 was one of Sony Ericsson’s first smash hits, and many will argue that this single phone model marked a turning point for the company. Five years after its release, it looks like Sony Ericsson is about ready with a remake of this ever-popular handset.
The G900 and its sibling, G700, represent a new kind of Sony Ericsson smart phone products, that don’t look or feel like a smart phone, yet perform and deliver as one would expect a smart phone to do. These G’s are targeted at the normal everyday consumer, who wants a little extra something from his phone, while still keeping the price low.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that Sony Ericsson’s former support page could do with a makeover. Sony Ericsson recently updated its looks, and made it completely in tune with the bubbly design of the rest of the website. They’ve also re-organized quite a lot of everything there, making it a lot easier for new consumers to find what they need in a hurry. Have a look yourself over at Sony Ericsson’s support page.
By the way… We’ll soon be updating the theme of the blog yet again. Major theme update this time bringing along many enhancements, such as improved search and a lighter code, as well as a fixed content width making it possible for me to post images up to about 700 pixels in width!
I bet some of you have checked out the JavaOne conferences, but obviously no-one has gone through them in depth. In on 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.
It has been reported that the head of marketing at Sony Ericsson (could this be John Bernard?) has said that “WiFi is dead” and that it’ll soon be replaced by much faster mobile network communications. He also compared WiFi hot spots to the invention of the telephone box.
The A200 platform supports WLAN connection, however there are no devices with built-in WLAN. Sony Ericsson is now trying to make up for this by soon announcing a WiFi Enabler accessory, that is most likely to look at work like the FM transmitters, MMR-60 and MMR-70, and make use of the Fast Port connector.
Furthermore, Sony Ericsson is working on a follow-up GPS Enabler, called GPS Enabler 2 (Helmer Fingal II) and also a sport GPS accessory. G900 is reportedly going to come with the GPS Enabler as a part of the consumer package.
How can we be sure of it all? Well, it was leaked in the G700/G900 white papers, which you can at Sony Ericsson’s Developer World.
PS. The WiFi accessory image is of course just a mock-up - the K850 screenshot isn’t, though!
On new phones’ site at Sony Ericsson’s English and Swedish website, you’ll now be able to find test scores from alaTEST. alaTEST collects and analyses test reviews from various websites, and rate the products.
My boss from work is currently finding himself at this year’s MWC, and last night he was enjoying himself with the latest Sony Ericsson offerings. In this video, he and official Sony Ericsson representatives - including Dee Dutta (!) - are taking a look at the new C902 Cyber-shot phone, the XPERIA X1 multimedia smart phone & the W980 Walkman phone. The video is mainly in English, so don’t worry about it being a Danish video Press the picture below to go to the 6 minute long video.
As you’ve probably heard, Sony Ericsson will present some nice handsets at the MWC (formerly called 3GSM).
The press conference held under the motto “Big Ideas” at this year’s MWC will not only show us SE’s big achievements, but even a hell of a big amount of new great phones. Continue reading “Exclusive: - 10 - At One Swoop”
