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.

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.

Teenagers are crazy about music. I don’t assert that they are the only ones, ‘cause I know it’s not possible, but they’re more predisposed to listen to music all day long, maybe because when you’re not an adult you have more time for yourself and for your hobbies.

This is the reason why they’re also crazy about music gadgets of all sorts, from MP3 players, to iPods and music centric cell phones.

As an answer to a very specific need, Sony Ericsson has just announced a brand new walkman phone in the same day when two Cyber-shots made their appearance in the world of mobile phones. The W395, which you might have run into previously under the name of Sony Ericsson Yao, is an entry-level slider that is meant to bring “great music to the masses”.

Aimed at youth (not exclusively, but mainly), the Sony Ericsson walkman phone comes equipped with “large, powerful built-in stereo speakers” and, of course, with control keys dedicated to manage the music.

As far as the features are concerned, they include: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900), a Crystal clear 2.0 inch display with a resolution of 176x220 pixels, 262K colors and resistance to scratches, a 2 megapixel camera with up to 2.5x digital zoom, photo fix, picture blogging and video recording capabilities, the walkman player, that has TrackID and PlayNow, stereo Bluetooth connectivity, USB support, FM radio, motion gaming support, an internal memory of up to 10MB and memory card support.



Available in two color versions, Dusky Grey and Blush Titanium, the phone measures 96x47x14.9 millimeters and weighs 96 grams. The battery provides up to 8 hours of talk time GSM/GPRS, up to 480 hours of stand-by time and up to 12 hours 30 minutes of music listening time.

The Sony Ericsson Walkman phone is expected to become available this quarter, but the price is still unknown. However, don’t worry about it, in the press release it’s said to be affordable.

The precursory days of this year’s edition of the Mobile World Congress are something like a marathon when it comes to cell phones announcements, releases, rumors or leaked pictures. It’s very good for everyone to know that the devices we’ve all been promised a couple of months ago will see the light of the day eventually, becoming some sort of stars at the famous event which is to take place in Barcelona in less than a week.

I told you about the Samsung S8300 Ultra Touch, which appeared sometime in December 2008, and now it’s the turn of Hikaru, a Sony Ericsson slider that were rumors about since last October. Considered the Walkman flagship of Sony Ericsson, Hikaru is far from being a spectacular device.

The image you see in the picture above is said to be the Sony Ericsson Hikaru on the SEMC Blog, and we’re more than entitled to take their word for granted.

As far as the features are concerned, they include: a 2.6 inch display, a 8 megapixel camera, a walkman player 4.0, a 3.5 millimeters headset jack, stereo speakers, some dedicated music keys that are placed in the right side of the phone and an internal memory of 8 GB.

There are not more details available for the moment, but we’ll get back with further information as soon as Sony Ericsson will officially launch the phone at the MWC 2009. However, the new Sony Ericsson slider is expected to become available sometime during the second quarter of this year.

Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phones are just what the doctor ordered when it comes to people who want to have cell phones that come equipped with the famous line of digital cameras manufactured by Sony. If you are eager to find out which novelties the company has prepared for you in this area, then you must be ready for the hot news I’m now bringing to all of you. Actually, not to all of you, ‘cause this one is dedicated to the Japanese people out there.



I know, that’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do about it. The Sony Ericsson S001 is just another cell phones for Japan and there is no information about becoming available in other parts of the world, such as Europe or US.

The slider device has just appeared in the realm of mobile phones, being so very impressive for all of those who are into Sony Ericsson products, but not only for them. The Sony Ericsson S001 is a slide cell phone, just like I already said, featuring, among others, a huge 3.3 inch OLED display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, a 8.1 megapixel camera equipped with autofocus, flash, smile shutter and a protective lens cover, TV mobile capabilities (1-seg digital TV), GSM / WCDMA connectivity, Internet browser, Bluetooth connectivity, USB and a navigation software that comes preinstalled.



Available in three color versions, meaning pink (come on, this can’t be true!), classic black and green with gold, the new cell phone for Japan is sold by KDDI Au, on an exclusive basis.
