June 17th, will be an interesting day for Sony Ericsson. Two of the phones the Swedish-Japanese company will announce have been leaked — mobile gaming focused - F305 and quick shooter - S302.
Touted as the company's first motion gaming enabled phone (even though the W910i and K850i also have built-in accelerometers), the F305 is the quad-band GSM + EDGE handset. It has dedicated gaming buttons around its 2-inch 176×220 screen, and loud stereo speakers on the back to make the gaming experience more enjoyable. There's also Bluetooth support, 2 megapixel camera, Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot, FM radio, music player with TrackID support. Three games come pre-loaded with the device - Bowling, Bass fishing, and Jockey. The Sony Ericsson F305 is a low-to-mid range device, measuring 96×47×14.6 mm and weighing 97.5 grams. It will be available in "select markets" in Q3 2008, in "Polar White" and "Mystic Black."
On the other hand, the quad-band GSM+EDGE Sony Ericsson S302 will be sold as an affordable camera phone. It has the same screen as the F305, and also comes with Bluetooth support, FM Radio, 2 megapixel camera and memory card slot. The S302 is the first device in the new Sony Ericsson's series - Snapshot. It measures 101×46×11, weighs 79 grams and will be available in "Thunder Grey" and "Crystal Blue" in Q4 this year.
In addition to new phones, the Sony Ericsson will also unveil new Bluetooth headsets - HBH-PV-715, HBH-PV-720 (supports StyleUp covers) and HBH-PV-740 (features a status display).
Check out more images after the jump.

With news that Google's Android-push will take just a bit longer than we would prefer, it's fitting that Nokia has just announced that it will be working to bring together the fragmented Symbian environment under a single, open-source umbrella.

Nokia has been working closely with Symbian for years with S60 development, and it seems that the Finnish handset manufacturer wants to go open-source with their mobile OS. To that end, Nokia will be increasing their already substantial stake in Symbian Limited in order to take Symbian OS and S60 open-source.
Nokia has joined forces with AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone to form the non-profit Symbian Foundation in an effort to further Symbian development as an open-source mobile platform. The Symbian Foundation was formed to increase awareness and appeal of a unified Symbian platform as well as provide the developers with a unified development environment for an open-source Symbian. The move will unite the Symbian OS, S60, UIQ, and MOAP platforms to give Google's open-source Android platform a run for its money.
Nokia bringing their Symbian OS and S60 contribution to the table, the Symbian Foundation wil have the necessary components to develop a unified mobile platform with a common UI framework.Pending the acquisition of Symbian Limited, the Symbian Foundation is expected to go live in 1H 2009 - just in time to give the Android folks a serious sweat.

Sony Ericsson goes nostalgic for SE T610 with new Sony Ericsson Remi
We love classic handsets as much as anyone else, but it seems that Sony Ericsson is going the nostalgic route with their unannounced Sony Ericsson Remi.

<p>We love classic handsets as much as anyone else, but it seems that Sony <b>Ericsson</b> is going the nostalgic route with their unannounced Sony <b>Ericsson</b> Remi. It's still a rumor at this point, but the handset bearing the codename "Remi" is apparently Sony <b>Ericsson</b>'s remake on the tried-and true favorite, the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> T610.</p>
<p>The Sony <b>Ericsson</b> T610 was a huge hit for the handset manufacturer back in 2003, so we can't blame the Japanese-Swedish for yearning for the good old days. From the looks of the Remi, Sony <b>Ericsson</b> has taken a page out of the T610's design playbook with a two-tone exterior and non-Walkman branding.</p>
<p>The Sony <b>Ericsson</b> Remi is apparently based on the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> W890 platform, and so will feature a 3.2 megapixel camera and HSDPA. But, the company has seemingly dropped the "W" (Walkman) branding for this nostalgic handset. And, in keeping with the slim monoblock profile that we love seeing on the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> W890, the Sony <b>Ericsson</b> Remi will be about 10mm thick!</p>
<p>More on the Remi as we hear it…</p>

new devices, today Sony Ericsson also announced the World View 2008 competition, allowing camera phone owners around the world to compete and win "phenomenal prizes."- The People's Choice prize is awarded to the person who receives the most votes from the public around the world and includes a "trip of a lifetime" worth 5,000 GPB/6,250 EUR.
- The Experts' Choice winner, on the other hand, is chosen by Sony Ericsson's panel of elite photography judges. The main prize is once-in-a-lifetime trip worth 10,000 GBP/12,500 EUR.
It's not an easy task to win the World View competition. 2007's World View winner, Wang Feng from China comments on the image that won him the prestigious title: "I took the image after my car fell into a ditch and got covered in mud. As I was trying to get the car out, the fly landed on the windscreen and I thought it was the perfect picture. I would not have captured it if I had not had my camera phone with me."
Funny or not, he'll be travelling soon. And you could do the same, too. More information about World View 2008 is available from here.

That's right folks, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has been given the grubby once-over by the Boy Genius.

Boy Genius. As the highest-end, and most anticipated, smartphone in Sony Ericsson's near-term pipeline, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has seen more than its fair share of the light that is lime.And, just to make sure the rest of us are drooling with envious lust, Boy Genius has posted their own hands-on review of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 - replete with device impressions and photos. The XPERIA brand represents the highest end of Sony Ericsson's "converged device" market, and as such, it get high marks for all its techno-wizardry. The optical joystick is apparently peachy keen, as is the gloriously wide 800×480 WVGA display. And, with UMTS/HSDPA in tow to make wireless data transfers on Windows MObile 6.1 a breeze, the XPERIA X1 is apparently a joy to use - despite the fact that the Boy Genius's pre-production version of the XPERIA X1 tended to bog down a bit.
First-impressions aren't the end-all-be-all when it comes to handset reviews, but this pre-production XPERIA X1 scored low marks in the QWERTY-keyboard department. That snazzy, arc-sliding QWERTY keyboard is apparently not as easy to use as it was cracked up to be. Lack of feedback is mentioned as the keyboard's worst attribute - interesting, because our own (limited) time with the XPERIA X1 left us with a positive impression of the solid keyboard and sliding mechanism.
Hit up Boy Genius for the rest of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 gallery - sans Sony Ericsson's Panel UI, of course.

From what we know, the first device in the series will wear the F305 mark and will have the slider form factor, sporting an FM radio and stereo loudspeakers. In addition, "3" in "305" indicates it would be positioned in the mid-low segment.</p>
<p>The rumor is still in the early phase, and I kinda doubt we'll see the F305 announced on <a target=)

up and running, we're eager to see T-Mobile bring some serious 1700Mhz 3G-compatible handsets into their stable. Some eagle-eyed detective work by Cellphonesignal has uncovered FCC documents that clue us in to a new T-Mobile 3G handset - the Sony Ericsson Bella.We're looking for T-Mobile to pick up the Sony Ericsson Bella as the Sony Ericsson TM506, with support for T-Mobile's own special flavor of 3G. The Sony Ericsson TM506 Bella should drop with support for dual-band 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) frequencies - specifically, the 1700Mhz and 2100Mhz bands that T-Mobile's AWS 3G network requires.
And, to make sure this tri-band (850/1800/1900Mhz) GSM clamshell doesn't disappoint, T-Mobile's Sony Ericsson TM506 will be packed with a decent feature-set. A quick look at the user-guide shows that the Sony Ericsson TM506 will sport aGPS, a web-feeds reader (RSS, podcasts, news), and a 2 megapixel camera.
Bring on the 1700Mhz 3G goodness, T-Mobile!
Hit up the gallery below for more pics of the T-Mobile-bound Sony Ericsson TM506.
