If you remember, there were some rumors in the Internet that the upcoming version of the Internet browser for mobile smarphones - Opera mobile 9.5, would not be available for older UIQ 3 phones (I mean Sony Ericsson P1i, W960, P990, e.t.c.). People were speculating that the new version would be only for new handsets, like Sony Ericsson G900, G700 or other upcoming phones and that was very bad news for me.
You see, I'm a lucky owner of the Sony Ericsson P1i and I'm using Internet quite often and efficiently on this handset and as we know Opera Mobile is not replaceable in such cases (OK I know, I know that there is also Opera Mini too... But there are some web sites which are simply unusable in Opera Mini)... So i was very happy when I saw this video on the zdnet blog.
This video is demonstrating some new features of the upcoming Opera Mobile 9.5 and guess what? It's running on Sony Ericsson P1i :)
TV Commercials of Sony Ericsson Z660 have already hit the Internet. It's quite unusual to watch advertising videos of the device that hasn't been released yet :D
As you can see in the video, Sony Ericsson will be equipped with quite a big display and it seems there is going to be a GPS receiver too (Hope so)...
Researching the latest and greatest, the best sellers are not usually the most technologically advanced devices, because those usually cost and arm and a leg. Instead what sells the most is the best "bang for the buck," often free when purchased with a service plan. With the Mobiledia Best Seller Award, consumers can rest assured that they're getting a great phone at a great price.
The Best Seller list is based on sales reports from InPhonic, the authorized partner of Mobiledia. The award is only given to current phones sold.
Highlighted by orange accents, the Sony Ericsson W580i is illuminated in the dark with light effects along the side that change as users navigate the Walkman music player. The slim form factor hides a Walkman 2.0 music player, making it simple to organize and play favorite tunes. The Disc2Phone music management software and USB cable included in the box allow for easy transfer of music to and from a PC. Listeners can also tune to their favorite radio programming as the W580i offers an RDS-FM radio. Additionally, the Track ID feature makes it easy to identify music tracks not recognized. For impromptu photos, the W580i integrates a 2.0-megapixel camera, also functioning as a portable photo album and pocket gaming device. Fast connectivity allows users to access picture blogging and instant messaging.
