Sony Ericsson G700 and G900 demo video from Mobile World Congress

Here's a quick peek at the newly announced Sony Ericsson G700 and G900 "Organizer" phones from Mobile World Congress. We had a chance to talk with some Sony Ericsson reps and they showed us their un-smartphone in all its glory. It's not exactly a smartphone and it's marketed more for the busy individual that just needs quick access to all their data without the fuss of a full-blown smartphone.

Still, the SE G700 and G900 are the smartest "feature phones" that we've ever seen. We just wish the touchscreen displays were a bit larger (but then, we might be even more inclined to call it a smartphone). Oh, and that "sticky note" feature is definitely cool.

Find more info on the Sony Ericsson G700 and G900 here.

Take a look at the demonstration video below.

  It's not such a super-secret anymore. Sony Ericsson's highly-guarded SE XPERIA X1 Windows Mobile smartphone will be running the refreshed Windows Mobile 6.1 - not the Windows Mobile 6.5 that certain dubious sources indicated previously. Still, the presence of a real, live application of Windows Mobile 6.1 makes the whole touch-it-and-die vibe start to make sense. […]

  SE XPERIA X1 Windows Mobile smartphone will be running the refreshed Windows Mobile 6.1 - not the Windows Mobile 6.5 that certain dubious sources indicated previously.

  Still, the presence of a real, live application of Windows Mobile 6.1 makes the whole touch-it-and-die vibe start to make sense. Those Sony Ericsson reps were really guarded about the XPERIA X1 and we probably would have lost an appendage had we dared to even reach for the device. At least they were kind enough to let us film a demo.

  • HTC will manufacture Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?
    File this under "it's probably true, yet we can't confirm it," but according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) - it's HTC which will make Xperia X1 for Sony Ericsson.

    Xperia X1 for Sony Ericsson. The Taiwan based smartphone maker certainly has the needed experience in Windows Mobile device manufacturing and has already manufactured devices for other companies (Palm).

    Still, I doubt we'll hear any of the involved parties talking about it in public, and at this stage you can only believe it or not. At the end, it's not that important who makes the device as long as it works perfectly…

      Ericsson have launched the "Ericsson Multimedia Communication Suite (MCS)", with the goal of integrating web 2.0 content feeds in to the UI. The UI will be making an appearance on select devices, such as the SE W760i

      End users will have access to new services from existing applications - so for example, knowing presence information about friends through the contat listing in their address book.

      The research completed by Ericsson prior to product launch, showed that there is strong demand for the mobilisation of communication services on the internet - for example chat, sending files and presence.

      The intuitive user interface integrates new MCS applications such as chat and file transfer smoothly with existing voice, video call, SMS and MMS services. In addition, hanging features such as presence off the address book enables a connected device experience.

      Ericsson MCS will initially be available for selected Sony Ericsson feature phones. The MCS is built on IMS architecture, and has been developed with the Rich Communication Suite (RCS) in mind - this aims for broad industry interoperability and acceptance by utilizing standardized IMS service features.

      Comment: Obviously this is a platform enabler, which is going to begin to find i's way in to devices to give the connected experience - and for that it should be commended. Further RCS-compliant solutions will no doubt add features and services, however, Ericsson is likely to see significant first-mover advantage here.

      • UK: knives are out already for Mobile sales at Xmas 08!

        No sooner have we crossed the mid-point of February (highlighted nicely with Valentine's Day!), than a story about Xmas 08 appears - stop the madness! Where will it all end!?

        Anyway, this story is about the battlelines being drawn up for Christmas as regards what the "hero" devices might be - in the Prepay segment (i.e. those which often sell in supermarkets).

        Apparently, supermarket chains have been out at MWC, and industry experts are saying that the traditional Mobile sales pandemonium this year will be led by 5MP camera devices (such as the Nokia N95 above), in a £80-100 tier.
        This would mean an extremely interesting period before Xmas, where both retailers and device vendors are scrabbling to up their numbers for Q4 - of course, what will be the prepay handsets are actually already in circulation, since they drip down from being "new postpay" to "cheap prepay" over the course of the year.

        As you might expect, big players will be Nokia, SE, Samsung and LG - all with established devices in circulation - this shouldn't rule out new devices coming on to the market though!

        Last year in the MNOs, it was Orange who dived deepest, with 000,000's of LG handsets in an super-cheap £10-20 tier. In the supermarkets, obviously bitter rivals Sainsbury's and Tesco were major players - and this year you can be sure both these chains had buyers at MWC, making the deals for Xmas.

        Of course, lest we not forget the other major forces in UK retail - Argos (a UK chain, where you buy from a catalogue in store and then the products are delivered via conveyor belt to you from a store room upstairs!) is a pivotal retailer as far as some vendors are concerned - judging by how full my local Argos was last Xmas, I would certainly not disagree!

        So, it will be interesting to see how the retail landscape for Mobile devices plays out this year - and whether those 5MP prepay devices will be the difference-maker!

        Now that's a refreshing change of pace from Sony Ericsson. It seems that Sony Ericsson updated their XPERIA X1 specification sheet to reflect the use of microSD expansion cards. Last time I mentioned the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 superphone, I said that I'd take the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 with that horrible, proprietary MemoryStick memory card format - the handset is really that awesome.

        screenshots that clearly show the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 displaying Windows Mobile 6.1, there is once again some talk of the XPERIA X1 toting Windows Mobile 6.5. If WinMo 6.5 really is the OS of choice for this new superphone, the "hands-off" approach from the Sony Ericsson reps makes all that much more sense - even more so than if it was rocking Windows Mobile 6.1.

        Now, all that's left is for Sony Ericsson to drop this darn thing on us already. The wait is getting unbearable - and there's still 6 months to go. Oh well, we're in for the long-haul with this one.

The unique sliding lens-cover comes out of the C902's body to reveal the 5 megapixel Cybershot camera unit, complete with flash. As you slide out the camera, touch-sensitive buttons illuminate from beneath the display's bezel, giving you a host of options like video mode and flash settings.

          It's sleek, it's slim, it's a Cybershot, what more could you ask for? What's that you say, some hands-on video? Ok, here you go.
