Sony Ericsson W760a coming to AT&T?
We know Sony Ericsson is pushing its phones to U.S.A. through AT&T and we do hope they will bring the W760 to the country. However, the image on left is everything but a reliable indicator that will actually happen. I would say the bare fact that the W760a model (where “a” stands for America) exists […]

W760 to the country. However, the image on left is everything but a reliable indicator that will actually happen. I would say the bare fact that the W760a model (where “a” stands for America) exists says more about Sony Ericsson plans than the small logo on the device. After all, you don’t have to be a Photoshop master to make that image. Simple pasting the AT&T’s circle is about all it takes…

Anyway, nothing is confirmed at this stage, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll see the W760 hitting the U.S. sooner rather than later. It’s one of the best feature phones on the market, featuring that cool Walkman music player, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, motion sensor, and more.

    Two of the existing Sony Ericsson phones are getting new colors. The first one, recently announced K330, will be available in white, and the W890 Walkman in gold.

    K330, will be available in white, and the W890 Walkman in gold. The latter looks really good and certainly remind us on its gold predecessor, W880, although only the backside is golden.

    Other than the new color, both devices remain the same specs wise and again we’re not sure why Sony Ericsson doesn’t issue some release about it. Without it we’ve no clue where you can get these, nor how much they cost, though I guess price remains the same… More photos follow after the jump.

        rumored late-October launch date for the highly-anticipated Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 superphone? Good news, the ever reliable source of all that is shady and questionable, eBay, has a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 posted for all interested bidders.

        We’re not going to comment on the legitimacy of the auction, which is presumably offering a prototype handset, nor are we going to try and guess how much people are willing to pay for the unreleased handset. But, if history proves to a reliable measuring-stick, we’ll see this auction ending with a well-heeled bidder offering more than $1,000 for a chance at owning an unreleased cellphone.
        If you’ve got more money than common sense, hit up the eBay auction and put in a bid. If you win, drop us a line and let us know, will ‘ya?

        • Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot in Titanium Silver is James Bond?s latest phone
          Sony Ericsson has just announced that James Bond’s latest phone will be the limited edition Titanium silver C902 Cyber-shot.

          announced that James Bond’s latest phone will be the limited edition Titanium silver C902 Cyber-shot. The famous secret agent will rely on the C902’s 5 megapixel camera in the upcoming blockbuster Quantum of Solace, which will be released in November of this year.

          Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the official image of the C902 in the new color, hence we’ve prepared the image on the right ourselves. UPDATE: Expansys contacted us with an image of the device. James Bond will be using this beauty (on the right). And in case you’re wondering, Expansys will be offering the device — you can pre-order it today.

          Specs wise, the limited edition C902 is identical to the original device, but also includes such pre-loaded content as 007 branded screensavers, wallpapers, James Bond mobile theme, Quantum of Solace movie trailer, behind the scenes interviews and footage from the movie and its stars, and the “Top Agent” game.

          The Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot in Titanium Silver will be available in selected markets in Q4 of 2008 for a limited period. No information about the pricing has been given.

          UPDATE2: We have one more image of the device. It follows right after the break.

          Will 5MP on the C902 be good enough?
          …. well probably is the answer. And why the question? Well, read on….. Sony Ericsson were kind enough to email me and let me know the C902 is now available (has been for a little while) - it comes with a much-touted 5MP camera. This is interesting to me, because I would contend that certain 5MP […]

          

          …. well probably is the answer. And why the question? Well, read on…..

          Sony Ericsson were kind enough to email me and let me know the C902 is now available (has been for a little while) - it comes with a much-touted 5MP camera. This is interesting to me, because I would contend that certain 5MP Mobile camera handsets do not take great photos (I’ve said as much before).

          Oddly, the handset that I thought took the best pics (from the variety that I have had) was the SE K800i - it was only 3MP, but they were mind-blowingly good pixels from a very diminutive device! It’s successor, the K810i, didn’t seem quite as good to me. Moving on then to the K850i, again, I didn’t think it was quite as good - and that was a full 2MP more.

          But of course the Megapixels only tell part of the story - the optics, and of course the camera module management software play a large part in deciding the image quality. So it was with great interest that received the email today, re-affirming that I could purchase the C902 - and my question still stands…. will the 5MP camera be good enough?

          By good enough, I mean will it deliver everyday-usage shots that perceptibly are free from noise, have good colour balance - but most importantly - that I believe are good? Perception of quality is in the eye of the beholder, and if your opinion on anything is that the quality isn’t there, then you are right - and so is everyone else, with their own opinions. But only your opinion counts if it is your device!

          In my opinion, 5MP camera modules on devices should be able to produce a reasonable picture - good enough to print out on a 6″x4″ paper at least. From my past posts, the consensus appeared to be that really the N82 from Nokia was the best all-rounder. So, I contend, will the C902’s 5MP camera deliver the goods? Anyone who is owning one and using the camera, please do feel free to add a comment to this post!

            • The 10 best selling phones in July 2008
              Krussell, one of the premier names in consumer electronics cases, has just released a report detailing the “Top 10″ best selling mobile phones in July 2008.

              Krussell, one of the premier names in consumer electronics cases, has just released a report detailing the “Top 10″ best selling mobile phones in July 2008. The figures are based on the number of cases purchased for each specific device, and should be taken as a loose interpretation of general handset sales in July 2008. Being one of the largest and well-known case-makers in the mobile space, Krussell’s sales figures could be argued to be somewhat indicative of overall cellphone sales.

              “The launch of the 3G Iphone from Apple on July 11th had great impact on the sales in July as well as in June, says Ulf Sandberg Managing Director at Krusell. Main focus for this month should probably be put on the two newcomers from Sony Ericsson, that are expected to climb a step or two in next month’s list.”

              The list:

              1. (1) Apple iPhone
              2. (5) Nokia 3109
              3. (3) Nokia E51
              4. (4) Nokia 6300
              5. (-) Sony Ericsson C902
              6. (-) Sony Ericsson C702
              7. (7) Nokia N95 8 GB
              8. (8) Sony Ericsson K810i
              9. (9) Sony Ericsson K530i
              10. (6) LG KU990
              () = Last month’s position.

              The data represents sales in over 50 countries, spanning 6 continents, around the world. As expected, Sony Ericsson and Nokia’s flagship shooters made the cut, as did the iPhone. Interestingly, the Nokia 3109 took second place.
