No Plans For Symbian Phones

Friday, September 24th, 2010
Looks like Sony Ericsson have just narrowed down some of its future options. Jan Uddenfeldt, Sony Ericsson’s CTO recently announced in an interview with Swedish newspaper NyTeknik that Sony Ericsson have no plans for a Symbian phone for the time being.


This makes Sony Ericsson the 2nd company to drop Symbian after Samsung. To be honest, it doesn’t look like anyone will miss Symbian either judging by the number of problems the platform faced and the fact that no one really wanted it. On the bright side, this should leave the Sony Ericsson Development Team with one less thing to worry about and hopefully work more on the Eclair Update (so that they hit the October deadline atleast) or on a neat Windows Phone 7 Phone or on their “big surprise”.

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.
