Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
By admin | May 23, 2008
The highly discussed Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 PocketPC based on Windows Mobile 6.1 finally got closer to the public thanks to a video preview, which became available today.
Just as a refresher the high-end X1 has a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen display (800 x 480 pixels), as well as the optical joystick navigation - the navigation solution is cool and you can see that on video.

Almost all connectivity features are present on the Sony Ericsson X1 - from a 3.5mm audio jack to GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, everything is on board.
Typing is sweet with the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while the 9 available home screens should suit every scenario and all user preferences. The multimedia set includes FM radio without RDS and Media player.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 also has a 3.2 megapixel camera and will come with 400MB of internal storage available to the user. It is expandable through the microSD card slot.
The handset will have support for all the four GSM network bands and four 3G network bands as well. HSDPA and HSUPA ensure the quickest data transfers around.
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will be powered by a Qualcomm 7200A 528MHz CPU and has 128MB of RAM. Unfortunately, as you would see from the video, the X1 desperately cries for some dedicated video acceleration.

Nokia E66 and Nokia E71
By admin | May 16, 2008
While we all expected the official announcement of Nokia E71, we come across a dozen of good photos of both Nokia E66 and Nokia E71. We also have some extra exclusive photos of Nokia E71.
Though there is no official information, it is certain that both devices will sport 3.2 megapixel cameras, secondary videocall cameras and 128MB of memory, facts obvious by the provided photos. Nokia E66 is a slider phone with large keys on both the front panel and the main keyboard. There is no information regarding the size of the display, yet it is certain it will be 16M TFT one and it really looks large.

Nokia E71 is the other high-end phone, which comes in monoblock form factor and a full QWERTY keyboard. The main block of keys with the D-Pad looks very similar to Nokia E61i while the QWERTY keyboard has different design and very large “space” key.

We’ve also noticed that the camera is an autofocus one, with flash and self-portrait mirror. The battery cover seems to have the same patterned finish as Nokia E51.

Sony Ericsson P5
By admin | May 16, 2008
It looks like the announcement of the highly rumored Sony Ericsson P5, codenamed Paris, is really close, as today several real photos of this baby leaked online - this time they are better quality and you can see more details.
Beside the photos, no additional information about the Sony Ericsson P5 is revealed. The obvious is that the phone has slider form factor, M2 card slot, the proprietary QWERTY keyboard of Sony Ericsson M600, a 5 megapixel camera with lens cover and a secondary videocall camera located at the front panel. The display will be a touchscreen one - a stylus is tucked in the upper right corner of the body.
We’ve also spotted a dedicated music key on the right side of the Sony Ericsson P5, which probably is used for the shake control or other accelerometer-based function. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any side scroll wheel on the left side - a control we are used to from previous high-end Sony Ericsson smartphones.
So far from previous leaks we also know that Sony Ericsson P5 is supposed to run on the latest UIQ 3.3 UI for Symbian. Other goodies include the built-in GPS receiver, Wi-Fi, and HSDPA connectivity. Impressive enough, we can’t wait to see it finally announced.
