It is sheer madness to even try to understand what happens in this time of year with everyone: not only with customers, but also with people that are on the other barricade, meaning the manufacturers of all sorts of people. They all become somehow blinded by the so-called feeling of love, just because there are a couple of weeks to the day when we can all express what’s inside of us.



And it’s even more amusing to watch people agitating themselves in order to find the perfect gift for their loved ones, especially because all the brilliant ideas that you’re so blessed to find out about are covered in pink. It’s stupid, if you ask me, but that’s the way things are, and who am I to judge them?

Anyway, the point is that a brand new pink handset was recently launched, joining other hot pink cell phones, such as the Samsung Instinct or the Motorola PEBL Rose Bloom. Blessed with the privilege of becoming pink, the Sony Ericsson W350 is now dressed in a cute new outfit that is meant to melt your girlfriends’ heart in the twinkling of the eye.

As far as the features are concerned, they include: a 1.9 inches TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 256K colors, a memory stick micro (M2), 512 MB card included and 14 MB of shared memory, Bluetooth v2.0 connectivity with A2DP, USB v2.0, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, walkman player, FM radio with RDS and trackID music recognition.

The information about pricing and availability is not very clear, so to speak, but what we know for sure is that the Sony Ericsson W350, in the soft pink version, is featured on the official website of Sony Ericsson. So, pink cell phones hunters, on your marks, get set, go!

When first presented to the public, the Sony Ericsson F305 was said to be a gaming cell phone, which was, of course, an obvious statement concerning whom was it aimed for. We’re talking about teenagers, who are mad about such devices, as they’re perfect for spending their spare time in a very amusing way.



That’s why the Hello Kitty special edition is just what the doctor ordered, if you ask me, because it does nothing but to emphasize the purposes of the company: gaining more and more young customers.

As far as the features are concerned, they include: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, a 2 inch TFT display with a resolution of 176x220 pixels and 256K colors, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, a 2 megapixel camera with video capabilities, stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3 player with a feature that everyone is mad about, the TrackID music recognition, and an internal memory of just 10 MB.

There aren’t many details about this special edition, but what we know for sure is that an important difference consists of the painted case, which might be more attractive for girls rather than for boys.

The basic version of the Sony Ericsson F305 was announced in June 2008 and became available in November in two color versions: polar white and mystic black. According to a Russian website, Mobile-review, these new Hello Kitty cell phones will become available in Russia in the near future, but the price is still unknown.

More and more Cyber-shot phones are available on the market these days, and there are even more to come. For example, the last similar device that was very much written about is the Sony Ericsson C901, a 5 megapixel phone also known under the name of Filippa, which is expected to benefit its official announcement on February 15.



Now, rumors say that another Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot is to become available sometime soon. Though, up until the moment you will have the chance to have it in your own very hands, the C903, the successor of the C901, is said to be announced, within an official context, at Mobile the World Congress 2009.

Maybe you have the impression that it’s not the first time to hear something about this handset and this is completely true, as the C903 was codenamed in the past Frances. The new Sony Ericsson slider phone comes with the following features: a 5 megapixel camera equipped with autofocus, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, PhotoFix and an active lens cover, then a 2.4 inch TFT screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels and integrated A-GPS.

Unfortunately, there are no more details available about Frances, but on the SEMC blog it is said to be officially announced during the same event as the C901, the Mobile World Congress, which is to be held in February, in Barcelona. As far as the availability is concerned, it is expected to be commercialized starting the second quarter of 2009, if everything goes according to the plan. The price? What about the price? Come on, guys, do you really think an information like that is available at this point?

Sony Ericsson seems to be very busy these days, as the company has just announced two new cell phones, the C510 and the W508. In the given context, Sony Ericsson doesn’t spare any moment and decided move on, unveiling another handset, which was designed and developed to be sold exclusively by Vodafone.

The Sony Ericsson W715 isn’t what people would call a new device, as it’s based on an old cell phone, the W705. This means that you can always consider the W715 the updated version of the previous walkman phone, which was announced at the end of last year, in November.

Compared to the W705, this Vodafone exclusive phone is equipped with more advanced features, such as GPS, which makes it able to provide turn-by-turn pedestrian and driving navigation. These functions are available as long as you use the Vodafone Find&Go and helps you find restaurants, hotels or shopping center, which are now a couple of clicks away.

The features of the new Sony Ericsson walkman phone include, among others: quad band GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz), a dual band UMTS / HSPA connectivity (900 / 2100 MHz), a 2.4 inch TFT display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels and 262K colors, a 3.2 megapixel camera with up 3.2x digital zoom, location-based services such as the Vodafone Find&Go that I’ve already mentioned, and Google Maps, a walkman player, track ID, shake control, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and DLNA certifiedFM radio with RDS, Auto rotate, Microsoft Exchange, NetFront browser, an internal memory of 120 MB and microSD card for expandable memory of up to 4 GB.



Measuring 95 x 47.5 x 14.3 millimeters and weighing 98 grams, the battery of the W715 provides up to 10 hours of talk time and up to 400 hours of stand-by time for GSM/GPRS and up to 4 hours of talk time and up to 350 hours of stand-by time on UMTS. Available in two color versions, Garnet Black and Luxury Silver, the package consists of the W715, battery, battery charger, a memory stick micro, a USB cable, stereo PHF, the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, Media Manager and the user guide.

Maybe Sony Ericsson isn’t the most ingenious innovator in the world of mobile phones, but people are surely having great expectations as far as this company is concerned. Thus, the guys over Sony Ericsson have just released in the Japanese market a weird device, maybe the weirdest of them all, the Sony Ericsson Xmini. And if some would think this is just another Walkman, let me tell that the Xmini is, in fact, a Walkman phone.

Part of KDDI au’s range of CDMA-based devices, this is far from the latest mobile phones that the Japanese people are used to in the last months, equipped with high-class features such as 800x480 display or a 5-megapixel camera. Still, the Xmini is similar to a Walkman player when it’s closed, but once it slides, you can see the alphanumeric keypad that reminds you of what the device really is: a phone.

Measuring 75 x 44 x 18 millimeters and weighing approximately 75 grams, the newest Sony Ericsson walkman phone was designed to be pocket-friendly. Apart from the regular features, the Xmini is provided with a set of dedicated music keys that are places somewhere below the display. They are hidden and they can be revealed only when you want to control the Walkman player.



As far as the features are concerned, they include a 1.8-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, an unbelievable 8-megapixel QVGA camera, clear stereo sound, CDMA and Bluetooth for connectivity, email support, 4GB of internal memory.



It seems that Sony Ericsson Xmini will be launched only in Japan, being carried by KDDI. This means it will be compatible with KDDI services, including the LISMO Video and EZ ‘Chazu Uta’ for audio downloads. The walkman phone is expected to be released sometime before Christmas, but unfortunately there is no information about the price. Another bad thing is that chances are pretty slight chances for the newest Sony Ericsson device to make it Stateside.
