AT&T Vu, Sony Ericsson K850i, iPhone Business Edition coming soon
AT&T Vu, Sony Ericsson K850i, iPhone Business Edition coming soon
It looks like the AT&T Vu and Sony Ericsson K850i are going to be making their way to AT&T early next year. The AT&T Vu is basically the US-spec LG Prada (LG CU920) and should be landing on Yankee shores in January of 2008. And, to complement the fashion-forward AT&T Vu (we can’t fathom why AT&T would drop the “Prada” moniker), AT&T will be bringing the Sony Ericsson K850i to the US masses as the Sony Ericsson “Ansel” (we know, what is AT&T thinking?) in March.
AT&T Tilt, iPhone, and the plethora of monoblocks and clamshells in their stable, and with the recently green-lighted Dobson acquisition, the LG Prada and SE K850i should cement Big Blue’s position at the head of the US wireless table.

- Nokia goes from first place to ninth place in Greenpeace Study
Nokia who used to be the greenest company in the land has gone from first place to ninth place according to a study preformed by Greenpeace. A mobile phone user was instructed to go into a shop and ask that their model be taken in for recycling, but shop keepers in Argentina, Philippines, Thailand, Russia and India had no clue about Nokia’s take back program and worst of all information about the program wasn’t even available in the local languages. Motorola fell due to similar reasons and the surprise that no one was expecting, Sony Ericsson took the spot for number 1.
That’s right, Nokia’s arch rival took number 1.

Nokia sells music and games, Sony Ericsson will do the same in 6 months
Nokia’s Music Store, currently in the UK only, and the N-Gage gaming service, currently delayed until December, are all efforts under a new branding scheme called Ovi. Sony Ericsson wants in on this action too and they have announced plans to launch a service called PlayNow Arena. No details for pricing, but some interesting tidbits include DRM-free content, Windows Media DRM content, themes, wallpapers, ringtones, games and music from all the major publishers. Look for a Q2 launch in select regions and a full blown roll out happening over the course of 2008. Eldar from Mobile Review is saying that in 2009 we should be seeing devices from Sony Ericsson that are highly tuned for gaming (read: PSP phone).
One interesting feature is how they plan to combine the music store with TrackID. You will be able to identify a song using TrackID then purchase it from PlayNow with just one click. Not only that, but Sony Ericsson will keep a database called “Charts” to show you what songs people are identifying all over the world and in your select region. For those who don’t know what TrackID is, you simply hold your phone up to a speaker playing a song, it records a 5 second clip, sends it to a Gracenote server and out pops the name of the song, artist and album. Something I desperately wish Nokia devices had, something that even Ari Jaaksi, a Nokia employee working on Maemo, is impressed with.

Nokia widely open.</p>
<p>I wanted to point that the clever designer behind this concept realized something I’ve been thinking about for some time. In all its smartphones, Sony <b>Ericsson</b> should put Walkman as <strong>yet another application</strong>! I don’t necessarily want to buy the W960i — all I want is that uber-cool media player. The older non-Walkman UIQ 3 smartphone like M600i, P990i and P1i come with the crappy media player, which for instance can’t handle podcasts properly. Why oh why wouldn’t Sony <b>Ericsson</b> bundle or at least allows us to install the Walkman software on their smartphones? We WILL install some other media player nevertheless (or at least that’s me)…</p>

<p>Now I’m sure many of you guys and gals will agree the image above looks cool and kinda familiar. But this time it’s not my intent to talk about Sony <b>Ericsson</b>’s future devices. Yeah, I do hope they’ll make something similar to the iPhone while keeping their platform (UIQ on top of Symbian OS) widely open.</p>

Cell Addict Blog] we all do. Yeah, we hate BOTH mini and micro USB ports, pop and all other cables. Why wouldn’t handset manufacturers made a device that has a standard USB port built inside. It doesn’t sound that hard, does it? C’mon folks, cables annoy us, big time… One more image after the jump.</p>

nothing new. Having a dedicated numeric keypad in addition to a full-QWERTY keyboard is just so convenient. And, it seems, Sony Ericsson is giving some serious consideration to bringing that convenience to a future handset. In their patent application, entitled “Two-way sliding mobile terminal,” Sony Ericsson reveals plans to use what looks like a pop-out mechanism that features a full-QWERTY keyboard layout as well as a numeric keypad. The keyboard pops out lengthwise to become a keyboard. Holding the handset vertically, the keypad pops out widthwise.
