Sony Ericsson Z555 gets FCC approval

Sony Ericsson Z555 has been spotted passing the FCC hurdle. The stylish device is now legally ready to be sold on U.S. soil. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to get it through one of the carriers — or at least we're not sure that will be the case. On it's website, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker doesn't mention the existence of an appropriate "a" model, which is usually the way they mark phones for the North American market. On the other hand, you may not want to care about this at all. If you want the phone that bad, you can always buy it from one of the importers…

- Sony Ericsson booth tour CTIA Las Vegas 2008
Sony Ericsson, not one to break the cone of handset-silence at CTIA Las Vegas 2008, didn't have anything new to show today. They won't have anything new to show tomorrow, or the next day. The booth was small, but they did have a live music show. An electronic music DJ and violinist make for an […]
XPERIA X1 were the biggest highlights of the booth. Sony Ericsson's Cybershot cameraphones and cool Bluetooth watches made a showing, but the XPERIA X1 was the center of attention. And, this time, Sony Ericsson actually let me touch the Windows Mobile 6.1 superphone(!).The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is an incredibly solid and slick handset. The slider mechanism is smooth and springy. The keyboard is a joy to use, it provides great tactile feedback. And, the display is just amazing. Having 800 pixels span the width of the display makes for some incredibly sharp images.
From the pictures, you don't really get a sense of the size (and heft, obviously), so let me tell you that it fits very nicely in the hand. It's not too light as to feel cheap, but not so heavy that you are burdened with another load in your pocket.
Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson is still tweaking their custom panel UI overlay on the newly announced Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. That meant the device was still slow to respond to some inputs, but this thing's got some serious potential.
The XPERIA X1's launch is still a long way off, so I'm not going to hold our breath for this thing any more. I've come to terms with waiting for this superphone to become a reality.
Enjoy the pics.

The Sony Ericsson G700 was introduced alongside the much-better G900 model at this year's Mobile World Congress (3GSM) in Barcelona, Spain.

G700 was introduced alongside the much-better G900 model at this year's Mobile World Congress (3GSM) in Barcelona, Spain. We never thought it will cross the Pond and somehow we still doubt that's the case, even though it just passed the FCC hurdle. Sony Ericsson is known to push virtually all of its devices through FCC, but fails to deliver them to the U.S. market.Still, I want to be an optimist here. UIQ is set to help Motorola push the Z10 and hopefully their future UIQ-based smartphones in North America. They're even organizing two UIQ Fast Track events in Boston and San Francisco this May. Sony Ericsson could certainly take advantage of UIQ's presence on the continent and aside from launching the G700, also release the WiFi-equipped G900 model.
We've nothing official from the Swedish-Japanese folks, it's just me speculating at the moment. Hopefully, this will go beyond my wishful thinking…

If there's one thing Sony Ericsson does well, it's pumping out tons of super-stylish and slim candybar/monoblock handsets powered by UIQ.

The newest unannounced monoblock from the Swedish-Japanese duo is the SE "BeiBei" that you see pictured here. Thanks to the folks over at The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, we've got this nice, clear spy-shot of the Sony Ericsson BeiBei for you to enjoy. The matte black and brown finish really does justice to the BeiBei's facade.
Check out all those navigation keys on the front-face of the BeiBei, it's almost overkill. But, if the Sony Ericsson BeiBei launches with UIQ 3.3, we'll forgive the overloaded keypad and go about our merry, UIQ 3.3-way.

Whether Sony Ericsson will actually go live with the BeiBei is up for debate, but there's no amount of speculation that's going to stop us from keeping our fingers crossed.

Sony Ericsson's Q1 2008 financial figures are out and they don't look too rosy. Sure 22.3 million devices have shipped, a 2% increase from Q1 2007, but with the average selling price of said devices falling to 121 EUR compared to 134 EUR this time last year, the high end phones that do make money sold in much fewer numbers. Sony Ericsson blames the drop in profits to increased spending in R&D, to that I say are you buying all your scientists a triple 30 inch Mac Pro and feeding them gourmet food while they have their scalps massaged by Swedish supermodels?

Related Articles at IntoMobile:- Hands-on review of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1!
While the rest of us XPERIA X1 fans are eagerly waiting to get our hands on a review unit, or any unit for that matter, WMExperts has managed to score their very own Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1! They flagship XPERIA superphone from Sony Ericsson will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and will sport: Quad-band […]
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1! They flagship XPERIA superphone from Sony Ericsson will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and will sport:- Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz)
- HSDPA/HSUPA
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- aGPS
- 3.2 Megapixel Camera
- 1500 mAH Battery
- Qualcomm's MSM7200A CPU, 528Mhz
- 800×480 resolution Touchscreen
- MicroSD for expansion
- MiniUSB
- 3.5mm headset jack for music
- 110 x 53 x 16.7 mm
- 145 grams
From WMExperts' impressions of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, the upcoming superphone from Sony Ericsson is an incredible entry into the world of Windows Mobile. There's not much other than the size of the keyboard that is cumbersome or not amazing in any way.
I had a chance to actually hold the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 in my hands for a quick photo-op at CTIA Las Vegas 2008, but I didn't manage to actually play with the device for any appreciable length of time. I didn't think my few minutes of playtime warranted a full post, so I'm glad the guys at WMExperts got to review this beauty in full. I can personally attest to the "butter smooth" sliding mechanism on the XPERIA X1. The keys are a joy to use, but the keyboard is a bit wide and will likely to a problem fro some smaller-handed geeks out there.
Flash Lite will come pre-installed, this is Windows Mobile 6.1 and Microsoft made it a point to let the press know that the version of Flash Lite in Windows Mobile 6.1 will be the only mobile Flash solution to play full desktop Flash.
Head on over to WMExperts for the full review.

Things are slowly shaping up. My guess is that in the next few weeks we'll see the Swedish-Japanese handset maker going official with the Z780. To be fair, don't know why it take them so long, but in this business it's all about timing — so they gotta have the reason. Anyway, the image above […]
Z780. To be fair, don't know why it take them so long, but in this business it's all about timing — so they gotta have the reason. Anyway, the image above illustrates how the upcoming Z780 holds when compared to its predecessor, the Z770 model. I like both phones, and I'm honestly not sure why another similar phone is needed. Then again, I've no doubts Sony Ericsson knows what it's doing, especially in the mid-range market…[Via: slashphone]

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 super-phone will be pleased to know that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker revealed us more through the recently released 
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 may have stolen the virtual spotlight from the rest of the company's handset portfolio, there's no end in sight for more mid- and low-end handsets from Sony Ericsson - , and a smattering of Bluetooth and GSM radio frequency band support. We're looking for the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> Emelie to hit a 150-200 Euro price point (about $231-$308 USD). CTIA looks to be the place to look for more on the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> Emelie.</p>
