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.

It looks like the Sony Ericsson Z780 will soon make its appearance on the American market in a completely blue suit, which in my opinion actually looks surprisingly good, although the colour might be a bit too much for me. Guess what - there’s another current phone coming in blue soon 
And it’s hot!

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!

It seems Sony Ericsson in Italy is planning to launch a special Ducati edition Z770 by TIM in July.
Apart from the Ducati-inspired new look, and a set of Ducati branded covers, wallpapers, themes & videos, the Z770 Ducati edition will be no different from the regular Z770. Who cares, though? It’s a well-respected brand, and that’s what’s supposed to be selling this phone, not the phone itself. Apart from that, it’ll also come with a special Ducati branded version of the HBH-220 Bluetooth headset.

We’ve just finished up on our Z770 review. Z770 is quite an interesting device, and the design is indeed very much appealing, although far from perfect. The features are a bit above average, and the software platform is superb, with only very minor bugs.
Because the Z770 is very much like the K660 that we’ve already reviewed, we’ve removed a few parts of the Z770 review in order for us not to repeat it over again. If you feel like you’re missing something, please have a look at the K660 review, or contact us.
By the way, this has to be the review with the most pictures in all of USEB’s soon-to-be 1-year history!
Check out the review right here, and please let us know if we’ve made any mistakes.

Sony Ericsson has just launched a mini-site with a set of wallpapers of the lovely Maria Sharapova and the stylish Z555. The computer wallpapers can be downloaded here in the following sizes; 1024 x 768 pixels, 1280 x 1024 pixels, and 1920 x 1200 pixels (hallelujah!). At the same site, you can also download a set of wallpapers for your Z555 phone (or any other phone with a 176 x 220 pixels display).

“Wow - the front of this one looks amazing” was probably my first thought when unboxing the Z770. It gets even better once you pick it up, and you feel how well it fits in your palm. It’s obvious that the designers of the Z770 have been had a look out for the small, yet important details. One is that the phone’s outside is completely flush around the flip hinge when opened. It simply feels like a piece of heaven. Another thing you’ll notice on the front is a mono-coloured outer display, which I’m quite fond of already.
The Z770 is a light-weight phone. It feels rock solid in hand, although the flip is a tiny bit loose (it can be moved about 0.1 millimetre). To my great surprise, the keypad on the Z770 is excellent! It offers great tactile feedback, and the large keys are really comfortable to use and with large spacing between them as well. While I would probably have wanted a better, marked separation of the keys, it doesn’t really matter that much.
The display is gorgeus! It’s a 2.2 inch TFT display, capable of showing upto 262.144 colours. Its colour saturation and representation is superb, and it’s got a very decent viewing angle to top it of with.
The camera, on the other hand, isn’t much to write home about. It’s a mediocre “snapper” camera, and you won’t be able to use the pictures for much other than goofing around with your friends or posting on your MySpace profile!
So, that was our short preview / first impressions of the Z770. Stay tuned for a review of it later this month.
