Sharpcards has announced it has struck up an exclusive deal with Sony Ericsson Iberia. The deal means that Sharpcards’ enhanced mobile messaging application (EMMA) will be integrated into the main messaging menu of new Sony Ericsson handsets in Spain and Portugal, allowing users to send Ecards almost as easily as a text.
Users will have instant access to premium branded Ecards developed in partnership with top media owners such as Disney, Hallmark, King Features and Cartoon Network. The service enables a richer, more intimate way of communicating with friends; they can now express their emotions with more feeling than a simple text message or phone call. Ecards are dynamically updated to give customers access to time-relevant and seasonal content as well as everyday favourites for fun and flirting.
How cool is this? For services that are popular and work well, handset integration is a major thumbs-up for them…. hopefully we can get some screenshots of this working soon….

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
