Sony Ericsson announces three new handsets
Posted by: in Gadget News, Technology on February 15th, 2010
Sony Ericsson has announced the introduction of three new handsets; Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro, Xperia™ X10 mini, Xperia™ X10 mini pro, alongside the Portable Stereo Speakers MS450 and Hi-Fi Headset MH810.
Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro
Sister phone to the Sony Ericsson Vivaz™, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro, adds a QWERTY keyboard to deliver a fully optimised communication experience. With human curvature, the Sony Ericsson design philosophy, as standard, the ability to record content in HD and a full touchscreen, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro is feature packed.
Xperia™ X10 mini
A compact version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10, the Xperia™ X10 mini offers a design rich and application packed user experience. Smaller than a credit card with the full Sony Ericsson Timescape™ application and ‘infinite button,’ the high spec handset pushes the boundaries of design and functionality.
Xperia™ X10 mini pro
With key features mirroring the Xperia™ X10 mini, the Xperia™ X10 pro adds a QWERTY keyboard for the ultimate in limitless, mini mobile communication and entertainment.
Portable Speakers MS450/HI-Fi Headset MH810
The Portable Speakers offer rich sound, on the go, whilst the Hi-Fi Headset MH810 enable superior audio quality and exemplary call handling.
Co-creation at MWC
Sony Ericsson’s new collaborative platform, Creations™ is the latest extension to the content arena allowing users to consume, create and publish their own content on the move.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness hands-on
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 30th, 2009
Anyhow, we've just taken delivery of a Pureness today and have had a few fleeting moments to check it out. If it weren't for the screen, you'd be looking at a $30 prepaid candybar here -- you don't have a camera, a high-res display, or any sexy metal or soft-touch bits to give the phone a premium feel. The UI is about the simplest possible incarnation of Sony Ericsson's typical dumbphone platform, owing largely to the fact that the display's just grayscale; you've got an FM radio (with a headset attached) and a basic music player and browser, but if you're in North America, don't expect any 3G.
That said, seriously, look at that shot we took up there: the display is insane. We can't quite get over it -- it's the ultimate conversation piece. Motorola Aura owners looking for a fresh way to draw a crowd might look at this as their next purchase, but if you're looking to do anything but talk (and occasionally browse an eerily translucent version of Engadget), make no mistake, this isn't your phone. Did we mention we want one really, really badly?

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 17th, 2009
Folks living Stateside have plenty of cellphone options to choose from, that’s for sure. Well, with a myriad of cellphone operators as well as handsets available, one is spoilt for choice, and it doesn’t help that Sony Ericsson has just released their Xperia Pureness in this part of the world – touted to be the first handset in the world that comes with a transparent liquid crystal LCD screen. Not only that, it also boasts ground-breaking miniaturization technology in the battery, memory card and antenna for one truly jaw-dropping handheld. Folks living in the US can pick this up via Saks Fifth Avenue online (www.saks.com) and Sony VIP Shopping Service. Just make sure that you have at least a grand in your bank account to spare, considering the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness retails for $990.
The Xperia Pureness has a rather aloof marketing presentation, where it is touted to offer “an alternative approach to life in the complex, digital age by refining the mobile phone to its most essentials functions – Talk. Text. Time.” We’re not too sure just how alternative your lifestyle is going to get apart from obtaining envious glances all around whenever you pull the Xperia Pureness out of your pocket, but hopefully Sony Ericsson will get its basics right – which are, talk and text. Aesthetically, this phone is extremely appealing, boasting hidden keys that light up only when touched, coupled with subtle illumination to indicate call and message notification.
Apart from that, you know you’re living it up when the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness comes with the Pureness concierge service. This is the only truly localized global concierge service in the world, where members are supported from all walks of life via a 24 hour service in cities globally for virtually any kind of need. It does make us wonder just how much lazier one has gotten over the years. True, technology has made life more efficient, but we’re not using the saved time to attend to other more important things, instead of just looking around for opportunities to do more.

Sony Ericsson Satio back on sale, software update available
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 8th, 2009
it may not be at the top of everyone's wishlist this holiday season, but it looks like those particularly taken with Sony Ericsson's smartphone are now back in luck after a brief suspension of sales. Of course, there's also now a software update available for current Satio owners, but details on it are fairly light apart from word that it improves "handset speeds and battery usage" and that it "fixes previous software issues." What's more, while retail availability may be a bit hit and miss as things get back up to speed, it seems that at least Phones 4u in the UK is now already selling the updated version of the phone, and it's even reporting strong sales from over the weekend.Sony Ericsson Satio back on sale, software update available originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:22:00 EST.

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 1st, 2009
We've got an old-fashioned Sony Ericsson-gate developing this winter with some clarification and new information on two of the company's highest-end phones of the season, the Aino and Symbian-powered Satio. First up, as we've updated in our original post, the Aino was never pulled from shelves -- we've been able to confirm this with Sony Ericsson spokespeople directly, which also satisfactorily explains why it was never pulled from the US SonyStyle site. Secondly, good news for Satio owners affected by the phone's issues: there's a new firmware out there for unbranded units, which suggests that units that are already in the field might not need to be recalled despite Sony Ericsson's admission that the power-down problem can't be fixed over the air. For what it's worth, we've been in touch with Carphone Warehouse today and they haven't yet put it back on sale -- so it's hard to say just how closely related the new build is to the most damning problems facing the phone right now. Owners who've upgraded: what have you noticed so far?[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Electricpig got word that a second gen Xperia Pureness is in the works. But believe it or not, the designers actually want to cut down on the phone's functionality, even referencing "removing the keys." [Electricpig]
