Having read some of the comments about my rather cool (and totally copyrighted!) way of handling the F305, T700 and W302 in the unboxing videos (read: tossing them around a bit), I’ve decided to go all in with a large durability test, and - naturally - caught it all on tape, err, memory card! The durability test included no less than thirty Sony Ericsson phones that all received some TLC before being airborne. To my great surprise, none of the phones received any scratches from this test - great job, Sony Ericsson!

All right… My time is up, and I’ll leave you with the video and a question just below it…

So, have I got too much time on my hands or too many phones to be in my hands? That’s the question!

The phones in the video are:

C902, C905, G900, K530, K660, K700, K750, 2x K770, K800, K850, M600, P990, S500, T68i, T230, T610, W550, 2x W595, 2x W760, W800, 2x W890, W900, W950, W960, X1, and Z320.

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!

[thanks, cliosguy!]

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.
