• What's your complaint against Sony Ericsson? That all their phone interfaces look the same? And what's your complaint against Windows Mobile? That it looks blocky?

• The Xperia X1 addresses both these issues at once; and the result is this awesome-looking device with a super high-res (800x400) touchscreen that opens in an arc to reveal a full metallic keyboard.

• WiFi, HSDPA, GPS, 3.2 MP auto focus camera with LED flash, 400 MB memory, microSD, 528 MHz processor,128 MB RAM. Should I go on, or are you sold already? Should be here in Q3.

Sony Ericsson and Windows Mobile look good together, don't they?

AAA Battery Compatible Cellphone

at 7:35 AM · 1 comments

Yeah you read that right. At last we have cellphone makers thinking of improving the power storage rather than upping the camera and memory. Come to think of it, it's the agony of a phone with low charge that hurts more than the ecstasy of owning one with 16 GB of memory. The new Philips Xenium 9@9j phone has more than the cool name. It uses a AAA battery. It comes equipped with BackuPower that can be used to keep your phone powered even when your Li-ion battery goes dead. This can give you a whole three hours of talk time as a bonus. This is for those who pick use of a phone over its style since this one sure isn't as small and slim as the newest variants of phones are.

VAIO ZOOM - Holographic Laptop Concept

at 7:14 AM · 0 comments

Yanko Design has published the images of the Vaio Zoom laptop concept. The notebook is supposed to use holographic technology.

“The Vaio Zoom notebook concept takes everything we know about holographic technology and squeezes it inside a thin glass form factor. When off, the screen is completely transparent and the keyboard goes opaque. Turn it on and the touchscreen holographic festivities begin. Even the mouse buttons are holographic,” the post says.

Since the Vaio Zoom is just a futuristic concept, there is no information on its technical details.

Sony Ericsson Adopts New Nomenclature System

at 5:15 AM · 0 comments

If you've been wondering about the unusual model numbers of some of Sony Ericsson's latest products it is because, as announced today, they are using a new nomenclature system that will implement several major changes.

For starters, the "i" -symbol will no longer be used as a suffix on any devices. In fact, the full Sony Ericsson portfolio already has eight different handsets without the "i" tag. The "a" and "c" suffixes will remain to designate model versions for the American and Chinese markets respectively.

Model names will begin with a capital letter that denoting the type of phone. "C" denotes the popular Cyber-shot series that consists of camera-centric phones. "S", which formerly denoted slider/swivel phones will now mean "Snapshot", phones that are less well equipped than the C-series. No new models have been designated S so far. "G" stands for "Generation Web" and will denote the lower end of the smart phone line while the XPERIA series will denote the upper echelon. "W" will denote the Walkman line while "R" will denote the lesser Radio series.

The number following the initial letter denotes the status of the phone as high end, mid-range or low end, with 9 being the highest. The next number is the version number, followed by a number that describes the phone's style, 0-2 is a candy bar, 3-5 slider, 6-8 clamshell, 9 other.

There is no word as to what will happen to the K, T, M, Z and P series yet but there is supposed to be a P5 announcement this summer.
