Will the Sony Ericsson X10 challenge the Apple iPhone?
Posted: 9 November 2009
The Google Android-powered Sony Ericsson X10 handset will definitely attract customers - but not necessarily those in the market for an Apple iPhone.
This is according to Conrad Longmore, editor of Mobile Gazette, who was asked whether the former will present competition for the latter in the smartphone sector.
He said that although Android 2.0 will certainly tempt consumers, these will not necessarily be the ones who would otherwise buy an iPhone.
"Perhaps the people who should be worrying most of all are Microsoft and Nokia," Mr Longmore explained.
The X10 was unveiled last week in what could be seen an attempt to revive the manufacturer's performance and provide an ...
Three times the choice on Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola
Posted: 30 October 2009
Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola have all made the choice a little more difficult this week for shoppers looking at new mobile phones.
In addition to an upgrade to its associated software, the first of these three manufacturers unveiled the N97 mini, a smaller version of the smartphone of the same name it launched earlier this year.
Jose-Luis Martinez, vice-president of Nokia's Nseries range, said early feedback on the revised handset had been positive and that he expected people to enjoy the "pocket-friendly size" of the gadget.
Elsewhere, 3 Mobile announced it would be offering the Sony Ericsson Satio on its network, allowing customers the chance get their hands on the firs ...
Sony Ericsson launches Jalou campaign

More details have emerged regarding one of Sony Ericsson's latest fashion-focused mobile phones.
The manufacturer's new Jalou is to be brought to the attention of the masses as part of a new marketing campaign highlighting the special edition Dolce & Gabanna version of the device.

Sony Ericsson Satio: Worth the wait?
Posted: 14 October 2009
The Sony Ericsson Satio is mobile phone that a new review has said may have been worth the wait.
In an article for TechRadar, Gareth Beavis highlighted the fact that the handset has been promised for some time and said with a number of photographic and multimedia facilities on board buyers may have their hands full.
Formerly known as the Idou when it was showcased by the manufacturer in February, the model carries a 12.1-megapixel camera with auto focus and xenon flash, as well a range of music and video playback facilities.
It was these features in particular that were selected as among the best points of the Sony Ericsson Satio, with Mr Beavis stating image capture "is fantastic& ...
Jalou 'is compact, practical and unique'
Posted: 14 October 2009
One of the latest fashion-focused handsets to be launched by Sony Ericsson has been put to the test.
Jonaton Parkyn explained in a recent piece for Cnet that the manufacturer has put out a device that is likely to split people down the middle in the form of the Jalou.
The Jewel-shaped clamshell handset comes in three standard colours -black, purple and blue - while another option is the special edition rose and gold version put together in collaboration with Italian design house Dolce & Gabbana.
However, Mr Parkyn said the aesthetics of the device are only part of the story and, although aimed clearly at females, there are some who will find it ideal.
"From a purely pr ...
Sony Ericsson praised for green strategy
Posted: 6 October 2009
Sony Ericsson has been singled out for praise in a new report looking at sustainable manufacturing processes.
In a study entitled Greening Consumer Electronics: Moving Away from Bromine and Chlorine, the firm was analysed alongside a number of others, which had all made moves to lessen their impact on the planet.
Initiatives including those that resulted in the C901 GreenHeart, Naite and MH300 headset were noted and a spokesman for the firm said it was proud to be part of the ChemSec and Clean Production Action survey.
Company head of sustainability Mats Pellback Scharp explained the paper was a way of recognising innovation in the field.
"Building on the established h ...
Sony Ericsson Walkman "looks the business"
Posted: 5 October 2009
Despite its status as a low-budget music device, one reviewer has said the latest entry to the Walkman range "looks the business".
In a piece for Cnet this week, Frank Lewis praised the Sony Ericsson W395 and suggested those in the market for a budget handset that is well-equipped for audio may find the device to be "an absolute steal".
He explained the model can be picked up for around £48 on a pay-as-you-go option, while sim-free shoppers can purchase it for about £110.
With contract options available at £20 per month, Mr Lewis noted the W395 was "one of the cheaper handsets in the current Walkman range" - but this was not something that c ...

Posted: 3 September 2009
Sony Ericsson has followed up its Xperia device with a second entry in the series named the X2.
Following on from its predecessor, which was announced in February this year, the manufacturer has kept the new model based on the Windows Mobile operating system - although this time it will use the 6.5 format.

Real 3D, geotagging, A2DP Bluetooth stereo, A-GPS and Wi-Fi all contribute to the multimedia credentials of the X2. However, Sony Ericsson marketing business manager Sumit Malhotra added the ph ...
Sony Ericsson headset 'stands out from the crowd'
Posted: 19 August 2009
A new Bluetooth headset from Sony Ericsson has been put to the test in a new article for Cnet this week.
The site's Joseph Hanlon looked at the manufacturer's new HBH-IV840 device and explained that it was a model that stands out from many of its rivals for a number of reasons.
Among these are the slimline design of the gadget and the way it can be used without the need for an ear hook - something he added gives the headset "a subtlety and elegance most […] sorely lack".
The Sony Ericsson HBH-IV840 was also described as comfortable to use and for those who think it looks as if it could drop out, Mr Hanlon said this had been a big part of his testing procedure.
