The biggest one is that the QWERTY keyboard now works in the landscape mode so you can now comfortably type long messages on the phone. The screen too is big enough and hence you get a roomy keyboard to work around with. I bitterly missed this feature in the original X10. Typing in standard portrait keyboard can be quite challenging. Apart from that, the price of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is also a lot less than its predecessor. This handset is yours for $149 but you have to sign a service agreement with AT&T, the service provider. The original X10 costed a hefty $700 which would certainly make a big hole in your pocket. I am  [...]

Sony Ericsson Satio appeared just as a concept at Mobile World Congress and it has now reached the market as a final product. This handset is offered unlocked thus it will make a big hole in your pocket with its huge price tag. The biggest feature of the phone is the 12.1 megapixel camera. If the resolution doesn't make you drool then the plethora of options that the camera offers certainly will. We, as cell phone reviewers, have never seen so many features offered in a camera phone. There is also the music player, Sony's traditional Walkman, to keep you entertained while you are on the move. Sony has been known for its stellar sound quality on both the its MP3 players and cell phones. The display of this phone is 3.5 inches big and you get a resolution of 360x640 pixels. Images look very nice on this display and the text is quite easy to read too. The built in accelerometer automatically changes the orientation of the screen when you tilt the device.  [...]

Sony Ericsson always remains a highlight when it releases any new member of XPERIA series smartphones. Now, here is another luxury smartphone for you – Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness. It features transparent greyscale display with scratch resistant surface, quad-band GSM support, perfect audio quality, smart dialing and 3G support with HSUPA as well as HSDPA. Its display does not give some unique feature with its low-resolution, but limits other highlights of the XPERIA Pureness. It not only limits the available physical space inside the cell phone, but makes Web browsing a bit useless. It is important to mention here that the XPERIA Pureness runs with the pureness concept and leaves all the distracting features behind. The perfect metaphor for the Pureness is its transparent screen. We want to appreciate the Swedish-Japanese company for such a great engineering in the Pureness. 1.8 inches greyscale (monochrome) transparent display of Sony  [...]

Sony Ericsson Naite has a 2.2 inches display that gives a resolution of 240x320 pixels along with support for 262,144 colors. We were impressed with the improved saturation and sharpness of the screen. You can easily read the screen even in 70 brightness. You cannot alter the size of the font but animated themes and wallpapers can be changed.  The navigation pad is made up of two soft keys and a four way navigation button with OK key in the center. Apart from that, there are dedicated keys for locking the dial pad, silencing the phone, and popping up shortcuts. Navigation is responsive and quick. The keyboard has spacious buttons and the backlighting too is good but we found the keys were bit tiny even for the modest size fingers. Sony Ericsson Naite’s address book can hold 1000 contacts and a single entry can hold seven numbers and an email ID. There is no feature of grouping your callers but you can make a call conference with up to 5 people  [...]

We will put Sony Ericsson W995a in the category of one of the best multi media high end phone as it has 8.1 mega pixel camera, 3.5 mm jack, walkman player all under one roof. The media player has to be one of the best ones ever on a music phone. The W995a comes with a kick stand, which is not the best but still is great for watching movies. Other features include GPS, stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. We have seen such features on multi media phones but when you have a high end multi media handset which has such features in addition to the high end hardware, it is like putting icing on the cake. The display of the W995a is 2.6 inch big, it supports 16.7 million colors and gives a resolution of 320X240 pixels. Graphics, animation and photos look great on the display. The menu interface hasn’t changed, it is still standard Sony Ericsson the options of grid and list are the best among the four styles. We were a bit uncomfortable with navigation controls  [...]

Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones are rare in US to be supplied by a US carrier, they mostly come unlocked which makes the price really high. And hence we were glad to finally get a Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905a from AT&T. Cyber shot means that this phone is camera centered and the W series phones from Sony Ericsson stand are walkman series which is music centered. Now, 8+ MP of camera phones are rare and mostly manufacturers proudly boast that this phone will replace their digital cameras and we find that to be quite true. Other than the superb camera, the phone also has other features like GPS, music player and Bluetooth. This version doesn’t have Wi-Fi that the US version has. The display of the phone is 2.4 inch big and it looks really gorgeous. You get a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels which is gives you enough space on the screen to work around with applications. It supports 262,000 colors and watching images and videos on this screen is a treat for your eyes. You can change  [...]

Sony Ericsson makes great multi media phones. Although they are not as good as some of the smart phones that you see in the market, it delivers great on sound quality and camera. The model number of the phone is W518a where in the W stands for walk man series. Sony Ericsson phones are as good as Nokia’s N-series when it comes to music quality. The outer screen of the phone is a monochrome display and shows you battery life, time, numeric caller ID and signal strength. You don’t get a photo caller ID and there is no date either. The text size on the lid is too small and we would have liked an option which would increase the font. The display inside the W518a is 2.25 inches big and gives a resolution of 320X240 pixels, 262,144 colors. The display was quite bright, you can read text easily and the photos are also a treat to watch. You can only change the brightness and the look of the menu, list or icons. The numeric keypad beneath the  [...]

We caught ourselves drooling at the phone when it arrived at our test centers. It doesn’t have any keys below the display and this makes it look very sleek. We thought this was a touch screen phone but then we were disappointed with two things, firstly the touch screen feature is there but it can be only used for multi media and secondly the phone has a slide out numeric keypad at the bottom of the screen which makes the phone a bit thick. But we won’t forgive Sony for not making this all touch screen interface. If there is hardware in place why not use it for all applications? The phone has gorgeous 3.0 inch display which has a resolution of 432x240 pixels and supports 16.7 million colors. The display is quite vibrant and the text, photographs and videos are all very good on this screen. The phone has touch screen interface but it is reserved only for the phone’s 3D media browser. Touching the phone and flicking through the capacitive touch screen is smooth. When you open the  [...]

Sony Ericcson is one of the best players in mobile phones market. They have been around for awhile and now we can rely on them to make quality products. Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 landed in our test centers; it is a shiny black clamshell model phone. Being flap, it has two displays, one of them being on the lid of the phone. We weren’t quite happy with the external display of the phone because it doesn’t give photo caller ID. The external display gives you time(we wanted date also), battery, signal strength and caller ID. We think Sony Ericsson could have exploited the presence external display more. Inside the phone is a 2.25 inch display which gives you 320X240 pixel resolution. Screen of size 2.5 inch are known to have such resolution display and we were quite happy with the space in the screen. The screen has 262000 (18-bit) colors. You can personalize the display with wallpapers, display themes, screen savers and tones for messages,  [...]
