The Xperia X10 Is a Social Network Addict's Dream

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:47:48 PDT

At first glance, the Android-running Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson could be just another smartphone. Packed with a 4-inch touchscreen, fast 1Ghz processor, 8.1MP camera, and up to 32GB of memory, this phone is a nicely competitive device for those who have surpassed the need for a simple flip phone but aren't yet into the megawatt power of the recent batch of "superphones" like the EVO 4G, Droid X, and soon-to-be Droid 2.

However, if you're addicted to your social networks like Twitter and Facebook, have a boatload of pics on Picasa, and consider music and videos a necessary evil in life, this could be the phone for you. Find out why (and see more images) after the jump.

I can't decide whether I'm digging this phone because of my early obsession with Rainbow Brite or Jem and the Holograms, but the giant star and colorful stripes make this gadget absolutely adorable! Designed by fashion designer Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, the Z310 special edition Sony Ericsson phone was recently launched in Europe by Vodafone. Gizmodiva also reveals that the phone comes with interchangeable face plates and wallpapers designed by "la Prada." Priced around $132. What do you think?

Sony Ericsson Slider Phone Offers Changing Colors

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 May 2007 14:02:54 PDT

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.

Picture Perfect Tech: Phone From Casino Royale

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:01:17 PDT

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

Sony Ericsson Previews Super Slim Walkman Phone

GeekSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:03:10 PST

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.

Anna Wintour Spotted in Jeans!

Noria Morales — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:14:32 PDT

If you thought Anna Wintour was one of those women who slept in a Prada dress, take note: the Vogue editor-in-chief does go casual. She donned a pair of J.Brand $158 skinny jeans with a Proenza tee for a match at the Sony Ericsson Open. Later, she changed into a more "Anna" outfit, sporting Prada's Spring banana skirt and a white crochet sweater, with nary a hair out of place. While we're all for the banana skirt, we have to say, Anna-in-jeans is a refreshing sight. What do you think?

Cell Radiation: Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:49:46 PDT

The World Health Organization recently listed the cell phone as "carcinogenic," which means it could potentially be bad for your health due to the levels of radiation emitted during use. There are easy ways to cut down your risk of exposure, but a few of you had some additional questions that we'd like to cover here. Check out the cell phone radiation FAQ below, and leave any other questions you have in the comments; we'll be updating this post with more info!

What kinds of cell phones emit the least amount of radiation?
From CNET:

Samsung Blue Earth
Samsung Infuse 4G
Samsung Acclaim
Samsung Replenish
Huawei Ideos X5

What kinds of cell phones emit the highest amount of radiation?
From CNET:

Motorola Bravo
Motorola Droid 2 Global
Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou)
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro
Kyocera Jax S1300

Can I use a Bluetooth earpiece instead?
You can use a Bluetooth earpiece, but since those kinds of headsets use radio waves to transmit data, you're better off using a wired hands-free device. Earbuds with an attached microphone should work just fine.
