Two Sony Ericsson W200i commercials
Sony Ericsson W200i is one of the most affordable music phones on the market, and it doesn’t surprises that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker invests in its promotion.

Sony Ericsson S900i concept
What we have here is a Sony Ericsson S900i concept phone. It’s not clear whether this is coming from the official Sony Ericsson or from a designer fan out there, but my bet goes for the latter.

The rest is a matter of personal preferences and style……
Patent filing suggests Sony Ericsson WILL make PSP phone
Earlier in April, we speculated whether Sony Ericsson will make the PSP phone or not. It makes sense for Sony to walk this road along with its Swedish partner. Yes, that may cut margins for the Japanese giant, but their JV with Ericsson made them nothing but profits. Furthermore, I’ve no doubt about it that…

When you are the most populous nation in the world, trash is a big issue – especially refuse that could be prevented.
