The XPERIA X2 almost had its time, but the high end device was simply too buggy and unstable in the very end. The device was supposed to be launched last December but got pushed to January –a bad move which got it pulled out of Vodafone UK’s 2010 lineup. Despite that fact that this WinMo phone has been sent to tech oblivion, SE has another business model device, and from the initial specs, it looks very promising.

The biggest news is that Sony Ericsson’s new WinMo phone is a Greenheart device. It comes as to no surprise as the company has been working hard in order to meet their CO2 emissions reductions goal (something that many other electronics companies should be doing). In fact, Greenpeace has tagged Sony Ericsson as the company as the second highest green electronics manufacturer in the world next to Nokia in their Guide to Greener Electronics.

Anyway, the new Sony Ericsson Aspen is very business-like in terms of appearance. There’s a hint of BlackBerry in its overall form, but that distinct Sony style is present in the deep cut lines and solid form of the device. The 2.4 inch touch screen serves nicely as a display while the portrait oriented physical QWERTY keyboard will help typing long emails and messages a breeze.

The OS version of WinMo to be used in this device is reported to be 6.5.3 Maldives –making this a candidate for announcement at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain where it is expected that the new WinMo OS will be presented.

Sony’s current lineup of mobile phones is very promising, and considering the fact that the Swedish-Japanese joint venture is losing money each year, they certainly need to generate some serious profit this 2010.

Ever since the first photographs were leaked onto the internet a few months ago, people have been wondering what the phone will contain, and what features it will come with. Sony Ericsson had decided to keep the details a secret, and only recently released the exact capabilities of the phone. We can safely say this phone will go down very well, and could be the must have phone of 2010. The Xperia X2 features revolutionary new technology to help everyone keep in touch with each other. The phone is designed to be as multimedia as possible, and this is openly shown by the amazing 8 megapixel camera that comes with it. Many top of the range digital cameras are 8-10 megapixels, and for a phone to have such a high one is virtually unheard off.

The Xperia X2 also features WVGA video recording technology, allowing you to take short videos or any moment you please, whether it be a sport event, a music concert or anything else that you fancy snapping. The phone uses a slide out keyboard instead of a normal smaller phone keypad, so sending emails and writing documents has never been easier. The large keyboard saves you time, as each letter has its own individual key.

Designed for social and business use, this phone is ideal for anyone wishing to keep in touch and have unlimited capabilities at their fingertips. Stay tuned for the official release dates and check the Sony Ericsson website from time to time to see any updates that are posted.We will let you know of all the fantastic Xperia X2 deals as they become available.

In this day and age, where we are constantly being told that we are killing our planet, it is sometimes hard to know how we can actually help and make a difference. Many people assume you have to pay a lot of money to redo your house, such as insulating and changing heating systems etc. Who would have ever thought that by buying the new Sony Ericsson Elm you could be greatly helping the environment?

The new Sony Ericsson phone is made mostly from recycled household plastic, which has been recycled from around the world, from such things like milk bottles, plastic containers and any other domestic plastic device. The phone uses more Eco efficient factories as well, and this all helps the environment.

Aside from the environmental benefit, the Elm is also a great phone. Featuring a neat 5 megapixel camera, you will get excellent quality from all your photos, wherever they may be taken. Many domestic digital cameras average around 5 megapixels, so for the price of a phone you are getting two in one.

The Sony Ericsson Elm comes with a special navigation program which is designed to help you find you way to destinations you may be unfamiliar with. With every road marked out, you will be guided straight to your desired destination, and even warned of things such as turnings and a potential hazard. With a widget display designed to link you straight to your favorite applications, launching MySpace and Facebook is only a click away, great for keeping friends and family up to date with what you are up to. These phones looks great, and knowing Sony Ericsson’s reputation for making good phones, they are sure to be up to scratch physically as well.

O2 Mobile UK is the mobile network operator who got dibs on the XPERIA X10. Though no word has been given about any form of exclusivity to the company (which we believe is quite unlikely, given Sony Ericsson’s financial state, giving the device limited market access is not a good idea).

It is expected that the phone will be made available at about the same time as its expected launch this coming March. The phone will also be launching alongside the Sony Ericsson Vivaz (previously the SE Kurara) though O2 has not mentioned if they will also offer the Symbian 720p HD video phone to their customers

Speaking of Sony Ericsson’s financial state, the company lost over 800 million Euros last year. Despite having good sales during the holiday season, having devices such as the XPERIA X2 delayed certainly contributed to the low sales. This leaves SE with plenty to catch up with for this year. SE President Bert Nordberg is confident in the company’s 2010 line up; with the XPERIA X10 leading the charge, all focus is on the Snapdragon powered Android phone’s performance.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor –the current industry standard for high end phones. The screen on the device is a capacitive TFT touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels and a color display capacity of 65 thousand colors so expect to see high quality images on screen. The screen rotates thanks to the accelerometer and also comes with a proximity sensor.

As to be expected, the camera on the X10 is jam packed with features. The 8 mega pixel snapper comes with auto focus and LED flash. It also has touch focus, image stabilization, geo tagging (supports AGPS), and SE’s face and smile detection software.

Sony Ericsson is finally entering the Android Smartphone market. The Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 is the company’s first try at an Android handset. The phone’s specs are incredible and it looks like they are trying to make a big impression their first time around. I’m sure that if it is a success, the public will see more Sony Ericsson phones utilizing Android operation systems.

As stated above, the Xperia X10 is on the Android 1.6 operating system. It comes standard with a very impressive 8.1 megapixel camera that is loaded with great features. Individuals will be able to stabilize images and videos. The camera has auto-focus, LED flash, smile detection, facial recognition, geo-tagging support and digital zoom.

The phone’s memory capacity is already large at 1GB. Individuals can add a lot more, up to 16 GB, with the handsets microSDHC. The 135 g phone has the following dimensions, 63mm x 12mmx 119mm. The phone runs on the Quad-band GSM/GPRS? EDGE, tri-band UMTS with HSPA. It utilizes a 1500 mAh battery, has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and A-GPS. The Wi-Fi makes it possible for individuals to connect to the internet wirelessly. Wherever there is Wi-Fi, the phone will be able to access the internet. Bluetooth enables individuals to use their phones without their hands. In some states, it is require that individual use some sort of technology that allows them to use their phones without their hands. GPS will help drivers ensure that they get from one place to the next without getting loss.

The Xperia X10 has very robust features. It is Sony Ericsson’s first try at an Android OS smartphone. The company has done a great job designing it. It includes most of the specs that smartphone fans have come to expect and love. Most people will be able to purchase the Xperia 10 by the first quarter of 2010.

With the Copenhagen conference on climate change underway it is becoming increasingly apparent to most of us that we all need to be doing our part in helping the environment. Whether it is by turning off your TV at night, recycling your household waste or choosing to walk rather than drive to your local shop, every little gesture makes a difference. Sony Ericsson is now trying to play its part with its two new GreenHeart phones.

The GreenHeart line of phones hopes to make a difference by lowering the levels of CO2 emitted during production, using as much recycled materials as possible and also minimising the amount of packaging that the phones are retailed in. The new Elm and Hazel phones are not the first GreenHeart handsets but are a noticeable improvement on the earlier Naite and C901.

The two phones come with an e-manual which is loaded onto the handsets themselves, saving paper, a low intensity battery charger and the WalkMate application which encourages you to walk rather than drive. Both phone feature a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and video recording; TrackID, SensMe and PlayNow features for the media player; as well as Wi-Fi, USB, GPS and threaded SMS.

While the two phones are remarkably similar in specifications there are noticeable differences. The Hazel features a larger 2.6″ screen with 16 million colours compared to the Elm’s 2.2″ 256k colour display. While they both feature an ergonomic design to be more easily held, the Hazel comes in a sliding form and the Elm is a standard candybar design.

Both phones are set for release in early 2010 although the Elm will be released first. If you want to do your part for the environment then make sure you take a good look at the Sony Ericsson Elm deals and Sony Ericsson Hazel deals as they become available.

Sony Ericsson is the world known brand, and it’s a mobile manufacturing company having lots of models today in the market from low rate to high rate mobiles. The best part of Sony Ericsson is they update the application by providing firmware regularly. By updating firmware, we can update the phones and by this way we can easily get the solutions of the problems we face with our updated mobile phones.

They have a developer team for their firmware updates. Last week this developer team updated the firmware for Sony Ericsson Aino and Sony Ericsson Satio. Earlier there was an issue with Sony Ericsson Aino and after updating firmware this problem was resolved. Their team did the solution of this problem by providing the updated firmware.

After updating the software of Sony Ericsson Aino with this firmware, will improve the performance of the mobile phone, and it will use less battery and improve the GPS and WLAN access. This will also improve the performance of Bluetooth, by which you will be able to transfer the data faster and safely. This firmware also installs the new tested best game- Loco Roco.

Earlier Sony Ericsson Satio was pulled back from the stores due to software issue with the phone. Then onwards their developer team made the updated firmware R1CA037 to solve the undisclosed software problem with the phone. Those who bought the Sony Ericsson Satio from the shops were informed to update the firmware from the internet for free of charge. Their developer team regularly updates the firmware of other versions also so that the issues come with phone will get resolved immediately.

Their developer team is also developing the firmware for Sony Ericsson Yari mobile phones. It will improve the performance of the phone and will install Snowboard Rush and Hamster Hustle games.

Looking for a super fast Symbian phone?  Look no further than the Sony Ericsson Kurara.  Leaked on Mobile Review, the Kurara is being lauded as the quickest Symbian smart phone on the market.  With an 8 mega-pixel digital camera and a Cortex A8 processor, this phone is ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

Judging by the pictures on Mobile Review, the Kurara and the Xperia X10 will be on a level as far as user interfaces go.  There is a pre-installed Facebook application on the phone as also has Twitter capabilities.

Want to be able to use your phone to record high definition video?  With the Kurara’s 8 mega pixel camera you will be able to do just that.  If you are tired of having to deal with proprietary accessories, you will not have to worry about that any more.  It looks like Sony Ericsson is finally moving away from that.  The Kurara is equipped with both a universal micro USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack so that you will not have to deal with memory cards and can use practically any headphones you like.

The Sony Ericsson Kurara does not however have an AMOLED screen and the lack thereof means that it will not be able to compete with the imaging possibilities of other smart phones on the market like the Samsung i890 HD.  It is a great phone to use though.  Although Sony Ericsson has declined to comment on the leaked information regarding the Kurara, it has an estimated street date of February 2010.

In short, the Sony Ericsson has incorporated some innovative technology into the new Kurara.  While they did implement a larger mega pixel digital camera, they shied away from the screen with the resolution to really appreciate it.

It is November 2009 and Sony Ericsson has an interesting mobile phone for all of us. It is the SE XPERIA Pureness; this device was originally nicknamed “Kiki”.  Well no surprise about the name change, I cannot imagine how that would have sold. Anyway, as awkward as the name Pureness seems to be, it fits the new phone like a charm. We have yet to see this device in action, but the preliminary press images are pretty interesting. With the Xperia X2 coming and the Xperia X10 well underway, we are not so sure we have much interest left for a new Sony Ericsson device, but with the device being as gimmicky as it is, it just might be what the public needs.

Transparent Screen

The Pureness’ unique factor is its screen; the entire screen is a transparent LCD. Yep, the new XPERIA is a designer phone made for those folks who can appreciate a novelty device. No announcement yet if the Pureness will be a 3G handset, but it could very well be a 2G device since it is unlikely that you will be able to do some decent web browsing on the transparent screen. With details on the actual specifications, there is a lack of SE Pureness reviews that can give you more information aside from the fact that this little mobile phone has a transparent screen.

Make Believe

The Pureness is the first phone Sony is releasing under their new “Make.Believe” advertising campaign. We can probably expect to see some concept phones being manufactured under this line. If this does turn out to be cheap, it will not matter what kind of Pureness contracts will be made available by the carriers as this phone if more for flaunting than for function. Expect the Pureness to hit stores before the end of this month.

When it comes to mobile phones, its king of the hill, and nobody has taken hold of the Android hill better than the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 and its’ 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Despite getting a little wobbly after the confirmation that it will be using Android 1.6 instead of version 2.0, the Sony Ericsson X10 still holds a very solid ground compared to its competitors.

At the moment, no other Android Smartphone has a stronger or faster processor than the X10. Though the Motorola DROID will also be released in the UK as the Motorola Milestone and it will be running Google’s Android 2.0 Éclair, this Arm Cortex powered device still lacks the hardware of the X10. The X10 also features a 4 inch HD capacitive screen, an eight mega pixel camera and all the functionality you would expect from a 3G smart phone.

The Android 1.6 Donut will be used as the main platform for the X10 though it has not been announced if this OS will be upgradeable to version 2.0 Éclair. With many Android fans hoping to see the new version and its performance on a 1 GHz processor, some interested folks have already diverted their attention towards the slower Milestone.  LG on the other hand has also announced that they too are working on an Android Snapdragon device though there is no word as to what version of the Android they will be using.

My personal wish list for an Android smart phone would be for it to have a slide out physical keyboard, a 4 inch HD capacitive screen with multi touch, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor and a hybrid power source.  So far none of these devices come close, though a combination of the X10 and the Milestone would be interesting to see.
