Sony Ericsson Slider Phone Offers Changing Colors

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 May 2007 14:02:54 -0700

Sony Ericsson has announced a new phone born out of its design teams' "love for the materials and colors found in the natural world." You would expect that means a phone made of hemp, patchwork and blue sky, but it actually came out more like a mood ring.

The Sony Ericsson S500 is a 14mm slim slider with color accents and changing desktop themes. You set the in-phone themes and external light effects to change when you want - with the seasons, as day turns to night or when the weekend begins.

The phone also includes regular phone functions such as a 2.0 megapixel camera, a media player and expandable Memory Stick slot.

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:01:17 -0700

Sony Ericsson's special silver and black versions of the K800 and K790 Cyber-shot camera phone took center screen in Casino Royale and if it means being one step closer to Bond man Daniel Craig I don't know how anyone could resist them.

The exclusive camera phones, which were available for a limited period of three months, are highly capable mobile phones that also provide a 3.2 Megapixel camera with Autofocus, Xenon Flash for lowlight conditions and BestPic, which allows the user to take nine pictures of a moving object simultaneously and choose to keep the best shot. It also allows high speed 3G data transfer then allows the user to share images easily and instantly so you can share them with friends, colleagues - or even MI6 – as you take their picture.

Since releasing the first model, Sony Ericsson has come out with newer versions of the phone so if you really want one you still have a chance. For an up-close look at the phone read more

Sony Ericsson Previews Super Slim Walkman Phone

GeekSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:03:10 -0800

Sony Ericsson has finally released photographs of the rumored new model of the Walkman(R) phone and I must admit, I'm very impressed. The W880 Walkman(R) phone combines the good looks of the hottest thin phones of the day (think Blackberry Pearl and RAZOR) with updated music-centered features of the old-school Walkman.

The W880 will launch within the first half of 2007 when more details will be provided. Overall, it looks like 2007 will be the year of the music phone. Every manufacturer is scramming to make the ultimate MP3 player/phone combo before the competition. I suspect the best of the best will come from a company like Sony, which already has experience with music players.

Do Cell Phones With GPS Interest You?

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:00:59 -0800

Some amazing new cell phones - like the Sony Ericsson Idou and the HTC Magic - emerged from the MWC this week.

With so many new handsets being announced, I enjoy finding out what features are being integrated into the latest and greatest devices. And one of the most popular trends this year is GPS functionality. Nokia just debuted the 6710 Navigator and the 6720 Classic, which both feature built-in GPS. The Navigator comes with drive and walk navigation and its touchpad allows you to zoom in and out on the maps. I don't have a car, but the last time I was driving and needed GPS, I just used Telenav GPS for my BlackBerry. But I must admit, I was in awe of the iPhone 3G when it was first released and offered GPS navigation.

What about you? Is GPS something you would care about having on your phone?
