Maria Sharapova dumps Sony (Ericsson) for Samsung; Already promotes Galaxy Note in Russia
Samsung has managed to get Maria Sharapova to its side with the hot tennis player already promoting the Galaxy Note is Russia. Sharapova, who was a Sony Ericsson brand ambassador in the past and before that helped spread some Motorola RAZR love, signed a deal with the Korean company to help them position their products in Russia and CIS. At this stage, it’s not clear whether this partnership will extend to the rest of the world and for the time being we have the lovely tennis player posing with Sammy’s … Read more

Prototype Sony Ericsson (yes, Sony Ericsson) Windows Phone found on eBay
Sony Ericsson, the company that’s now known as just plain Sony, can’t keep their prototypes from escaping their labs apparently. A device that’s codenamed “Julie” has not only been snuck out of Sony’s offices, but someone was actually dumb enough to put it on eBay. The auction has already been pulled, of course, but it does give some insight into what the company was planning. Now before you get all excited and think that “Julie” is going to come out in the next few months, we should mention that this … Read more

Mobile World Congress 2012: Sony Booth Photo Tour
We may have covered Sony’s new phones earlier in the year at CES 2012 but we decided to snap a few shots of it’s Mobile World Congress booth so you can get a tour of it for yourself. We were hoping to see a bit more from Sony Mobile this year but it looks like it’s pretty happy with where it is in the space, which apparently means that there won’t be a Xperia Play 2 coming out anytime soon. The booth itself showcased Sony’s new Xperia line, the P, … Read more

Hands-on with the Sony Xperia P
Sony’s fresh off its MWC press event where it announced the mid-level Xperia P and the entry-level Xperia U. We got a look at the Xperia P and will share our thoughts on the phone below. If you remember our look at the Xperia S back at CES, then you will likely find this latest hands-on very familiar because the Xperia P is really a scaled-down version of the Xperia S. The first thing you notice with the Xperia P is its unibody aluminum design that feels nice in your hand. … Read more

Hands-on with the Sony Xperia U
Sony just got done with its first MWC press event and we got some hands-on time with the Xperia U, an entry-level handset that, along with the Xperia S and the Xperia P, helps Sony hit every price point with its Android phones. When you pick up the Xperia U, you’ll notice the size of the handset right away. After handling 4.5-inch phones all day, the U looks and feels small. Its 3.5-inch Reality Display is pleasing to the eye, but it didn’t have the brightness or viewing angles of the … Read more

Android at Mobile World Congress – Which will be the go to handset this year?
As you’d expect, Android is set to dominate Mobile World Congress this year but that doesn’t necessarily mean as much as it used to. Now we’re looking at what companies are doing with Android and how they will differentiate themselves so you’ll have their phone in your pocket instead of the competition. With a handful of companies readying multiple handsets to set fire to the Android landscape, which one will rise to the top? We’re expecting at least one handset or tablet (but likely more) from LG, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, … Read more
