A Symbian Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot mobile phone has chances of seeing a release sometime in the future. Although there is no official announcement, information that the producer is looking for experts to provide solutions for introducing the best applications has leaked.

With the recent expansion of Linux, Windows Mobile has been set back by strong competitors. These alternative operatin systems offer the advantage that they can turn a personal handset into a customizable device.

Apparently Sony Ericsson likes this idea as well, as they have asked for Symbian developers to come work for them, as the company needs all the help they can get with the bringing of new innovative solutions.

The specialists recruited are to work at the company's quarter in Kista, Sweden. In a newspaper ad, Sony Ericsson says: "Our goal is to make Sony Ericsson the top player in our business, and the market feedback shows that we are on the right path. Exciting features such as Walkman and Cybershot enable our customers to be productive and entertained when they're on the move".

Sony Ericsson is starting work on a project that deserves attention, as there are high chances for it to be a new Cyber-Shot, although it will take some time before we will be able to see it on the market.

Sony Ericsson K770 Cyber-shot phone has been recently announced, baing an elegant phone, a digital camera and a photo album all in-one.

It is only 14.5 mm slim, finished in an elegant and fashionable Truffle Brown, with a 3.2 megapixel camera available. In camera mode, the 1.9 inch screen becomes the viewfinder and the Cyber-shot based menu becomes visible. Also, eight lit icons appear across the phone's keypad, these serving as one click shortcuts to the camera's key functions (picture size, photo light and others).

The USB Cable provided in-box can be used to drag and drop the pictures taken with the K770 Cyber-shot phone to your PC. Pictures can also be printed, as the 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus delivers good picture quality, thus photos can be printed out at upto A4 size (297mm x 210 mm).

Slide open the lens cover and start shooting.

Within a short period of time, Sony Ericsson W580 hits the market again, now being available with a US carrier that it's not AT&T, not T-Mobile, but Cellular One.
