Have I told you or have I not that affordable cell phones are the present in these tough financial times and I would dare to say that they are not only the present, but also the future, for an unlimited period of time?

In the given context, Sony Ericsson is one more company to focus its attention on affordable devices, in order to survive this nightmare. They have just announced the introduction of the W205 slider phone, which is, as you can easily figure it out, just another Walkman phone.

Part of the entry-level range of handsets, the W205 is said to be that particular Sony Ericsson handheld that can turn into “your first Walkman phone”. Not to mention the fact that it comes with incredible features for what it’s supposed to be, even if some might be disappointed by the small display and by the lack of EDGE and 3G.



As for the features, the W205 comes with the following on board: dual band GSM/HPRS connectivity (900 / 1800 MHz for the W205 and 850 / 1900 MHz for the W205a), a 1.8 inch TFT display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and 65k colors, a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, MMS, Opera Mini Browser, walkman player, FM radio with RDS, Track ID, an internal memory of only 5MB and a memory stick micro (M2) card slot for expandable memory of no more than 2GB.



The battery provides up to 9 hours of talk time, up to 425 hours of stand-by time and approximately 13.5 hours of music playback time.



The new Sony Ericsson walkman phone is expected to become available starting the third quarter of this year in just one color version, meaning the Ambient Black. Unfortunately, there is no information about the price for the moment, but as I said, it shouldn’t cost much, as it’s an entry-level cell phone.

Ok. I should breathe in, breathe out. Every time I hear these two words, FIFA 2009, I feel some cold shiver going down my back. I love football because I grew up in a family that worshiped, somehow, this sport, but I hate the game. And I hate it because my brother doesn’t seem to get enough with it. “EA sports, to the game!” Or at least this is what I understand.

Anyway, there are many FIFA addicts out there, and there is no doubt about it. And for all of them, here’s what Virgin Mobile has prepared: a special edition of the Sony Ericsson F305, one of the company’s most affordable slider cell phones. Being so cheap, you shouldn’t be surprised that more and more carriers decide to include in their offer.

Now, Virgin Mobile announced the introduction of the Sony Ericsson F305 FIFA 2009 in France. The phone will come with the FIFA 2009 pre-installed in its internal memory, while other 50 titles are on a 1GB M2 card. The F305 is equipped with a motion gaming sensor, which means that playing FIFA 2009 on it will turn into the ultimate experience.

As for the features, let me refresh your memory: GSM 850/900/1800/1900, a 2.0 inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 256 pixels, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3 player, TrackID music recognition and a memory stick micro (M2). The F305 measures 96 x 47 x 14.6 millimeters and weighs 97.5 grams, while its battery provides up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 400 hours of stand-by time.

If you’re interested in a Virgin data plan, you’ll be able to purchase this special edition of the Sony Ericsson F305 mobile phone for only 1 Euro, but if you choose to get it on pre-pay, it will cost you 129 Euros.

Details about the phone becoming available in other countries are unknown for the moment.

Remember the Sony Ericsson T707 I was telling you about a couple of weeks ago? It was a brand new Sony Ericsson handset that leaked on the Internet before the official announcement. The phone, also known as “Elle”, is a clamshell that made its appearance in the Chinese market. The Swedish-Japanese company decided to make it official and, in order to do that, they found a famous character to present it worldwide.

So, if you wondered what in earth these Maria Sharapova photos are doing in an article related to a Sony Ericsson cell phone, you should know that the young tennis player was chosen to be the new Sony Ericsson brand ambassador.

This is a very sleek and elegant device, designed to interact with the user in a manner that no other cell phone ever did. To give you an example, the T707 lights up each time you receive a call, while the light settings can be adjusted to each of your friends. This way, you will always know who’s trying to get in touch with you. But the best part is yet to come. If, for example, you want to end a call, the only thing you have to do is to just wave your hand over the display.



As for the features, the phone comes with the following list: quad band GSM connectivity, UMTS/HSDPA 2100 connectivity (for the T707 model), UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 connectivity (this will be available for the T707 which is expected to be sold in North America), a 2.2 inch TFT internal display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and 262k colors, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities and geo-tagging, Google Maps, NetFront HTML browser, email, Exchange ActiveSync, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP connectivity, support for YouTube, media player, FM radio with RDS, an internal memory of only 100MB and a memory stick micro card support for expandable memory (of no more than 16GB).



The phone measures 93 x 50 x 14.1 millimeters and weighs approximately 95 grams.

The Sony Ericsson T707 is expected to start selling in the second quarter of this year, but the price is still unknown for the moment. But we know that it will be available in three different colors: Lucid Blue, Mysterious Black and Spring Rose. Ah! And we also know that these Maria Sharapova photos will undoubtedly create sensation worldwide! No wonder!

It’s been a while since we last heard something about Sony Ericsson, compared to other famous cell phones manufacturers that are always ready to give us a reason to write about them. But it’s time for us to focus on the Swedish-Japanese company for a moment and tell you about their decision to expand the line-up of accessories with the relealse of the MS500.

The MS500 is the company’s first outdoor wireless speaker, working on Bluetooth connectivity. The device measures no more than 113 x 83 x 45 millimeters (meaning approximately 4.4 x 3.3 x 1.8 inches) and weighs 155 grams, being not only small, but also lightweight. This means you’ll never have a problem with carrying it around all the time.

The speaker is designed to be used in an outdoor environment and there’s no doubt about it. This is why it’s covered by a shell resistant to splashes and comes with a handy strap. The great thing about the MS500 is the fact that you can use it with the Sony Ericsson model that you might already own, as long as it’s compatible with Bluetooth with A2DP, but you can also use with phones coming from other brands. In addition, the cell phone can be used as a remote control for this new outdoor wireless speaker. All you have to do is to maintain a distance of no more than 10 meters.



The device comes with 2 AA batteries that are said to provide up to 5 hours of playback time. We know that the MS500 will be available in two color combinations: orange with black and white with pink, but, unfortunately, we don’t know yet when it will hit the market nor under what price.

Sometimes, cell phones aren’t given the official treatment by their manufacturers, because they are waiting for the perfect moment when the new device to be released. It’s just that a very strange, maybe unpleasant thing happens almost each an every time a company embraces such an attitude. All sorts of leaked photos and details give people the information that shouldn’t be available before the official announcement.

Anyway, this is what happened with the Sony Ericsson T707 Elle, a brand new Sony Ericsson clamshell that was “unveiled” during a press event that took place in China. Even if there isn’t a clear picture of the device at our disposal, we know for sure that the T707 is a clamshell, member of the T-series line, which means it’s not a Walkman or a Cyber-shot.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

This is a mid-end device that comes with the following features: quad band GSM connectivity, HSDPA 2100 connectivity, a 2.2 inch QVGA internal display, a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 1GB M2 card included in the package. The phone measures 93 x 50 x 14 millimeters and weighs approximately 98 grams.



Another important aspect that was revealed about the T707 Elle is the fact that it will be released by the Swedish-Japanese company in a wide variety of color versions, five, to be more precise, by the end of this spring.

However, the details about pricing and a certain release date aren’t yet available.
