• Sony Ericsson P5 Paris leaked?
  What we have here is supposedly Sony Ericsson's next big thing. Apparently, it's the P5 model, which is also known as "Paris." From what we know, the upcoming device should have the slider form factor, sporting the P1 or M600 like keyboard under the screen. In addition, the widgetized homepage makes us think it will […]

  UIQ 3.3 and we're also keeping our fingers crossed for the built-in GPS.

  Nothing is confirmed and as always (until the official announcement) the Swedish-Japanese handset maker is quiet. As soon as we have a new tidbit of information we'll post it, have no doubt about it. Stay tuned…

  UPDATE: We have more leaked photos of the device. Check them out after the break.

    • 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.

      • Sony Ericsson G502 and Z780: Cheap HSDPA, but how cheap? We’re not telling!
        The Sony Ericsson G502 and Z780 were announced today, no price points were given, but supposedly they're going to be affordable when they hit the market in the second quarter of 2008.

        The Sony Ericsson G502 and Z780 were announced today, no price points were given, but supposedly they're going to be affordable when they hit the market in the second quarter of 2008. The Z780 above looks like an amazing device, with the specs to match, but there are 2 versions apparently. SE's official PR says it has a QVGA screen, yet SE's product page for the Z780 says otherwise. Full specs (to the best of my knowledge) and images after the jump.

        The G502 is a 2100 MHz HSDPA eqipped monoblock with triband 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/EDGE. It's quite small at only 109.0 x 46.0 x 13.5 mm and weighs 83.5 grams and you get a 2 megapixel camera. Same 240 x 320 resolution we're used to, 262k colors and that seems to be it. It's quite stunning if I do say so myself, I can't say whether or not it will be a hit since there isn't a price … but if it is under 250 EUR expect it to fly off the shelves, more picsture here.

        

        The Z780 is an interesting creature, it has quad band GSM/EDGE and triband 850/1900/2100 MHz HSDPA and AGPS, but it has a pitiful 128 x 160 resolution screen with 262K colors. Weighing in at 96 grams at a not so slim 95.0 x 48.0 x 17.0 mm with only a 2 megapixel camera, you have to ask yourself, is this worth it? If it had QVGA it would be a hit, but apparently Sony Ericsson doesn't get that. I'm hoping the resolution is a typo, even Engadget doesn't know wtf is up. More pictures of this device here.

        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.

            I guess aside from announcing a new head of marketing, Sony Ericsson doesn't have much to unveil for the CTIA, hence they are confirming something we already know - the XPERIA X1 will run Windows Mobile 6.1. The Swedish-Japanese catch is in their XPERIA panel user interface that runs on top of Microsoft's mobile OS. And […]

            XPERIA X1 will run Windows Mobile 6.1. The Swedish-Japanese catch is in their XPERIA panel user interface that runs on top of Microsoft's mobile OS.

            And while we're speaking about the interface, Sony Ericsson wants us to know it will provide users with quick access to favorite apps and media, while also being customizable by both mobile operators and the end users. We knew that as well, but if you're attending the CTIA and you still haven't seen the XPERIA in action, make sure to visit Sony Ericsson's booth (#1627) which is located in the Central Hall C3… Full release follows after the jump.

            PRESS RELEASE - Sony Ericsson today confirmed that it will be running Windows Mobile 6.1 on its stand-out arc-slider phone, XPERIA X1, the innovative multimedia phone announced at this year's Mobile World Congress. Using Windows Mobile 6.1, together with Sony Ericsson's unique XPERIA panel user interface (UI), will enable a highly user-focused experience with enhanced connectivity, messaging and multimedia features.

            As the mobile broadband comes of age, consumers are waking up to the vast array of multimedia services and content they can access on the move through their mobile phone. The XPERIA X1 from Sony Ericsson enables consumers to personalise their experiences through a distinctive touch screen, panel-based UI creating an interface which is uniquely relevant to them and how they live their lives. This continually active desktop allows users to organise the phone's active dashboard as they want, changing between panels just like they change their mood, activity and information needs in the course of every day.

            "No two individuals have the same tastes and desires. Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 has been developed to ensure that mobile web communication and multimedia entertainment can be tailored, putting the individual at the heart of the mobile experience in a uniquely personal way," said Rikko Sakaguchi, Head of Portfolio and Propositions, Sony Ericsson.

            Operators will also be able to custom build the touch panels that run on the XPERIA X1 to provide the consumer with a rich, aggregated offering of their applications and services. In addition, Sony Ericsson also plans to align with key partners around the panel technology to enable them to develop exciting applications that can be enjoyed by users on the XPERIA X1.

            Visit the Sony Ericsson booth (Central Hall C3 Booth #1627) a CTIA in Las Vegas between April 1 – 3to hear more about the unique personalization and customization capabilities of the XPERIA X1.

            The Sony Ericsson XPERIA brand of multimedia mobile phones will bring a totally new user experience to the mobile phone market, putting the consumer at the heart of their experience and allowing the individual to create a touch panel dashboard that is unique to them and how they live their life.

            The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will be available in selected markets in the second half of 2008.
