Sony Ericsson To Spend Big On Making Vivaz And XPERIA X10 A Success

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Today marked the official unveiling of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, an 8-megapixel camera handset with HD video recording and a tapered design apparently built upon the idea of ‘human curvature’. Brought forward from an April release to roll out alongside the Android-powered XPERIA X10 in March for a dual flagship launch, both handsets are a big deal for Sony Ericsson.

The Vivaz focusses on bringing the best of communication entertainment, with media player and easy access to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Sony Ericsson are reportedly spending in the region of £4 million to increase awareness of the pair in the UK, with a combination of print, TV and billboard advertising on the way to raise their profile in the coming months. The Vivaz will be pushed to the youth as an fun-filled device, whilst the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 will be pitched as a connectivity powerhouse, showing off their customised revamp of Google’s Android operating system.

With the Satio and Aino attracting some negative feedback upon their respective launches, these new Sony Erisson phones are sure to mark a change in direction for the manufacturer in 2010.

And it’s on video! Yes, I know you guys love these kinds of hands-on sessions where you can just sit back and enjoy the influx of information from the live action video in front of you, as opposed to staring at sets of characters for half an hour. Your only grudge could be the reviewer’s diction in the form of various obscure accents. Now this guy is at least trying. I applaud you, reviewer guy!

The multi-part previews are just after the break. (more…)

Mobiwoo posts impressions from the London event

Friday, May 29th, 2009

One of the lads from our affiliate site, mobiwoo, that attended the London even on the 28th has posted a rather lenghty article, describing his experience at the press conference and saying what he thinks about the newly-announced phones, namely Satio, Aino and Yari. It makes for quite an interesting read, if you’re into these three phones. Hit the source link for the article.

GSMArena previews the Aino

And here we have yet another preview from the GSMArena labs. This time it’s about Sony Ericsson’s semi-touchscreen Aino. Yep, the one with the new Media center, PS3 Remote Play, Wi-Fi and teh 8 megapixel camera. Generally, they seem to be quite happy with the handset, although at numerous points they reserved their judgement, due to the unoptimized condition of the pre-release software. Here’s the conclusion:

Well, the Sony Ericsson Aino surely did surprise it. The very concept of it is so un-Sony-Ericsson-like. You’ve got a huge touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all of the other the well-known goodies. We’ve gotta say that the microSD card support is more than welcome as well.

No longer do you have to choose between a Cyber-shot and a Walkman, and no longer should you go for other mobile phones when decent video recording is a must. It seems that Sony Ericsson are changing their game plan and thus they may be even changing the game itself.

Follow the source link for the whole preview.
