Sony Ericsson World View

Aside from 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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
