  • Sony Ericsson W350 takes today’s tally up to three

    It seems you can’t move for Walkman phones at CES today. Well, there has only been two announced but that’s still two more than on an average day. At any rate the Sony Ericsson W350 Walkman phone looks like it is basically a leaner W760, sporting a flip mechanism rather than a slide. Of today’s announced [...]

  • Watch out fashion victims, here comes the Sony Ericsson Z555

    The phone is so trendy in fact, that it still hasn’t even shown its face at the CES party, at least not in any photos we have managed to uncover (this render is the best we could find so far). The Z555 announced in Las Vegas today is described as a new direction for Sony [...]

  • We get hands-on with Sony Ericsson's W350i

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , Sony Ericsson , GSM , EDGE Also on the table at Sony Ericsson's booth is the new ultra-light flip, the W350i. We've covered the important tech bits on this thing already and we were pretty stoked about its slim svelte look, but sadly, this fella still needs some tweaks to make it just right. We wanted to get at least a couple pics of the user interface, but it wasn't cooperating with us at all, any attempt to get the handset's demo rolling ended up in complete video madness. We can overlook software glitches as the handset isn't close to hitting retail, but this phone's flip is cheap, and I mean real floppy cheap. When in the closed position the flip doesn't actually seat -- we saw this on two different handsets -- nor does it have an I-will-last-a-long-time feel. Those points aside -- and it may be those issues go away before it hits retail in the second half of this year -- we're really digging the look of this set. %Gallery-12899% Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Hands-on with Sony Ericsson's new refelective flip, the Z555

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , Sony Ericsson , GSM , EDGE Second in Sony Ericsson's triumvirate of handsets announced today, the W555 brings fashion, gesture control, glossy gold and black to 2008. In typical Sony Ericsson clamshell style the handset is on the largish side , offers nice big keys for all your phone work, a decent and bright internal screen coupled with a nice external OLED jobbie. Follow the link to see some pics of the two colors we found on display. %Gallery-12876% Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Hands-on with Sony Ericsson's W760

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , Sony Ericsson , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA Of Sony Ericsson's three handsets launches today, the Walkman-branded W760 holds the most promise of landing over here thanks to its healthy dose of HSDPA in all the flavors we love. This slider is definitely well put together and felt rather hefty -- in an altogether pleasant way -- while we played with it during our brief visit this afternoon, though we could definitely find some room for improvement for the keys on the front. Nothing mind blowing, but we like the addition of GPS, the slider keypad is top notch, and being able to control the preloaded racing game by just rocking the phone, well, rawked. We're hoping we'll have some provider news in the near future, but until then, enjoy the gallery. %Gallery-12861% Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Sony Ericsson launches retro stylin' W350i

    Filed under: Handsets , Sony Ericsson , GSM , EDGE Sony Ericsson banged out three new sets today , and one that immediately caught our eye with its Ericsson T39-esque -- with a dash of Z700 -- styled flip. The W350i features a 1.3 megapixel shooter, FM Radio, Bluetooth, 14 MB of internal memory plus a 512 MB Memory Stick Micro, and ships in either Electric black, Ice blue, Hypnotic black, or Graphic white -- we'll let you guess which is which. We can expect a W350a variant, which will include 850 MHz GSM in place of the 900 MHz in the W350i version, so the odds of this landing on our shores looks good. The music controls parked outside the flip are a pretty sweet idea, we're liking what they did with this design and hope that it continues to impress once we get some hands-on time. Of course, if we were forced to nitpick, we might whisper something like: where's the 3G fellas? Handsets are expected to hit retail channels in Q2 2008 though no word on pricing.

  • Sony Ericsson gets real with geometric Z555 flip

    Filed under: Handsets , Sony Ericsson , GSM , EDGE Sony Ericsson appears to have taken a page clear out of Nokia's book with the Z555, a fashionable flip (subject to personal opinions, of course) that looks like a hinged homage to Espoo's Prism series. The innards aren't much to talk about -- the GSM comes in one of two triband flavors depending on your region, and there's nary a hint of 3G to be found -- but the draw here is something Sony Ericsson's calling Gesutre Control, which allows you to control a handful of phone functions (ringtone mute and alarm snooze are specifically called out) by waving your hand in close proximity to the handset. You also get a hidden external OLED display, 1.3 megapixel cam, stereo Bluetooth, and pretty much all the colorful rectangles you can handle. Look for both regional versions of the phone to launch by the end of this quarter. %Gallery-12798% Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Sony Ericsson CES 2008 lineup leaked?

    Filed under: Handsets , Sony Ericsson While we've yet to see anything legit come out of team Sony Ericsson at CES, we're seeing some nice pics surfacing of what are likely the real deal. Apparently Sony Ericsson are set to launch the W760i, Z555i, and the W350i -- which in our eyes is a pretty sweet flip -- which is pictured above. No specs have appeared yet, but we figure you'll settle for the lovely pics until Sony Ericsson opens the floodgates. Hit the read link for more shots. Update: Many thanks to the posters over at SEworld for getting some early press images up %Gallery-12774% Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
