Sony Ericsson Mobile reviews

6 phones, 5 megapixels each, battle is out for the number 1 spot

Phone Arena did a brilliant comparison of all the major 5 megapixel cameras out on the market right now (Nokia N82, Nokia N95 8GB, Sony Ericsson K850i, Samsung G600, Samsung G800, LG Viewty) and posted a ton of image samples so that you can form your own opinion at the end of the day.

Judging by the pictures they took I’m going to have to agree that the Samsung G600 is the best camera during the day, but the N82 is the best camera over all as it is absolutely fantastic in low light and also provides the best macro mode out of the bunch.

One small request, next time you do this kind of comparison take a picture of people as the number one thing people take pictures of is their loved ones and drunken mates at the local pub.

Sony Ericsson to bundle F-Secure Mobile Security on select smartphones

Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola or Samsung. All you have to do is read carefully for the security warnings and hit “No” when in doubt. It’s that easy… Full release follows after the jump.

PRESS RELEASE - F-Secure Corporation, the global leader in providing security as a service through mobile operators and Internet Service Providers, is today announcing the availability of its Mobile Security product for the UIQ platform. F-Secure and Sony Ericsson are partnering on supplying mobile security to Sony Ericsson’s smartphones.

A trial version of the F-Secure Mobile Security 3.3 for UIQ will be available in selected Sony Ericsson UIQ devices. The companies will co-operate closely together in the area of mobile security to make sure that smartphones will continue to offer a safe and rich mobile computing experience.

As modern smartphones are extremely versatile and highly connected computing devices, they need the same kind of protection as PC’s do. The F-Secure Mobile Security 3.3 for UIQ combines an integrated antivirus and firewall. With similar solutions already available for S60 and Windows Mobile it completes the F-Secure offering of award-winning solutions for the most popular platforms in the rapidly growing smartphone market. The growing PC-like usage of smartphones will drive the services of the mobile internet and it is important for the industry now to put in place safeguards that will prevent a similar development of the threat situation as has been seen with PC’s.

“We are very proud and happy about the UIQ product and the co-operation. Our complete mobile product range will enable us to continue our leadership in the area of mobile security. We have seen increasing demand for mobile security solutions also from mobile operators, who want to offer their customers a secure user experience in all situations and on all platforms. We have products for all the major open smartphone platforms at the moment, and we will continue to expand our security solutions offering to meet the growing needs in the market”, says Samu Konttinen, Vice President, Mobile Solutions Business Unit, F-Secure.
