We all know viral marketing is another buzz word and companies are trying their best to find the right formula to create a marketing blitz that reaches epic proportions a la iPhone. The problem is predicting what will go viral is next to impossible. Sony Ericsson has a fantastic marketing department and I generally enjoy…
First Sony Ericsson W580i shipments with faulty keypad
The first shipments of the Sony Ericsson W580i were found to be faulty with several thousand devices coming with keypads prone to cracking. According to one Carphone Warehouse salesperson, the W580i’s keys were splitting and the first three phones they’ve sold were all returned. Naturally, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker reacted promptly and the later W580i…
Sony Ericsson T650 coming in black and silver?
Apparently, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker is working on the black-silver version of the Sony Ericsson T650 phone. Nothing is confirmed yet, but that haven’t stopped user “SEductive” from Esato forums to make a mockup of the future device — or at least the way he envisions it. I’ll only add that I’m on 100% his…
FCC approves Sony Ericsson T658c
I just don’t understand why Sony Ericsson keeps sending its China-only devices for the FCC approval. We saw this happening with M608c, W958c, K818c and now with the T658c. Anyway, just like the previously approved T650 model, the tri-band Sony Ericsson T658c also boasts the 3.2 MP camera, media player, full email client, Memory Stick Micro…
Photo duel of the fashionable sliders: Samsung U600 vs Sony Ericsson W910
Talk about the good lookin’ phones — here are two non-smartphone sliders from a higher end of the spectrum. With its 3.2 MP auto-focus camera, the Samsung U600 certainly wins on the camera front — the Sony Ericsson W910 has a 2 MP camera. Plus, Samsung’s device looks way more stylish (especially the keyboard) than…
Sony Ericsson 5 megapixel Cybershot with Xenon flash- unannounced Sony Ericsson successor to K850i
We love getting live pics of unannounced mobile phones. The newest spy pics come from a Chinese website and show what is presumably the successor to the Sony Ericsson K850i. This sleek and svelte Sony Ericsson Cybershot-branded phone rocks the legendary 5 megapixel Cybershot optics and Xenon flash – a la the Nokia N82…
Sony Ericsson T650 now available
Sony Ericsson T650, the one with kinda strange keyboard, has been released. Just as we expected, it hit the street in August and is currently retailing for about $550 in Hong Kong, though you could get it for just a bit less on eBay. I would suggest waiting just a little bit more, when the…
Fan-made Sony Ericsson K770i in other colors
Not long ago — actually only few days ago — Sony Ericsson announced its most stylish Cyber-shot phone to date – K770i. Initially, we thought it will only be available in Truffle brown, but then we spotted the sexy velvet blue version. However, the two colors were just not good enough for the Sony Ericsson…
Video: Sony Ericsson K550 Cybershot Wakeboarder commercial
While it may be the “weakest” phone in the Sony Ericsson’s Cyber-shot family, the K550 is certainly not a device to underestimate. While it doesn’t have the 3.2+ MP camera, its camera’s 2 megapixels produce great photos, or as marketing folks like to say “help you bring the experience from a vacation back home.” In…
Sony Ericsson K770i developer specs
We usually skip this sort of information, but it’s a slow news week and why not — I still think the Sony Ericsson K770i is one of the best looking devices (not yet) on the market. Let’s roll… The K770 is based on Sony Ericsson’s Java Platform 7 and among other things it will be…
