Semcblog has discovered some pictures of the new "Clam Shell" from Sony Ericsson - Sony Ericsson Z780... It looks like that this phone is a successor of the recently unveiled Sony Ericsson Z770 and to be honest, I can't see much difference between those phones :) Anyway it's too early to talk about difference between those phones, while there are not many details about the Z780...
We also got WAP Profiles of the Z780 at Sony Ericsson Wap site, which discovers some details of the technical characteristics.
It seems that all of the official announcements have been made and it's time to get back to the rumors, leaked pictures of the upcoming phones, e.t.c. :)
Recently new pictures of the Sony Ericsson's new handset have been leaked on the Internet. It looks like that this photo has been taken from some kind of journal or magazine... So what can we see on the picture and what kind of conclusion can we get from these leaked photos?
The phone is a clamshell and the look of the housing remains that of the handsets from Z Series, "Mobile Web Companion" talks about that the phone is hi-speed Internet enabled and has convenient Internet browser, "Always Know Your Location" talks about that the phone is GPS enabled, the inscription "Bluetooth Car Handsfree" talks about that the phone is equipped with Bluetooth module (I guess A2DP) and I think, the inscription on the top left corner - "Compact Power" means that the phone is at least Mid-Range and not Low-End...
The new Sony Ericsson Z770 is a powerful web enabled phone designed to keep you up- to-date with the latest headlines, your favourite website and your email inbox.
Sony Ericsson announced the launch of the new Z770, an elegant clamshell phone optimised for the web and benefiting from HSDPA data speeds. This classic-looking clamshell phone offers capabilities beyond expectation. It is designed to make it straightforward to surf the web or receive the latest news, and the ‘email set-up wizard’ makes it simple to access your inbox. The Z770 can also be connected directly to a laptop (via USB cable) and can be used as a modem.
“The Z770 is deceptively powerful for such a compact clamshell phone,” said Martin Winkler, Director Global Marketing and Head of Multimedia Web at Sony Ericsson. “It appeals to busy people who demand hassle-free email and high quality Web access on the move. These people need to be in-touch, need to be on top of their email, but don’t necessarily want a smartphone or PDA. The Z770 is the uncomplicated answer.”

Last year Samsung overtook Motorola as the second-largest phone manufacturer. Now, the flailing Razr-maker risks ceding third place to Sony Ericsson. Oh, my!
Motorola released yet another round of disappointing earnings — profit from continuing operations fell to $111 million from the year-ago $523 million, as handset sales plunged 38 percent.
In his first earnings report as acting CEO, Motorola’s Greg Brown told analysts that the mobile devices unit “remains challenged.” What’s more, Brown warned it would likely be into 2009 before Motorola has a “robust and competitive portfolio.”
If Motorola keeps stumbling and Sony Ericsson marches on, their market positions could soon be reversed. “If Motorola doesn’t bring something entirely new by 2009, you will probably see the switch happening by then,” says Ping Zhao, a telecom analyst with Credit Sights.
Sony Ericsson’s global market share stood at 8.8 percent in the third quarter of 2007, according to technology research firm iSuppli. At the same time, Motorola’s market share slid to 12.7 percent (considerably down from its Q4 2006 height of 22.6 percent). If Sony Ericsson’s plan to make an aggressive push into the United States is successful, it will likely snag even more market share from Motorola, especially considering its multimedia device lineup — much of which is not yet available in the United States — is superior.
Sony Ericsson has approximately 8,000 employees worldwide. With a 43% annual growth rate, it became the fastest-growing mobile vendor in Q3 2006 compared to Motorola with a rate of 39%. In 2007, Sony Ericsson had surpassed Nokia to become the most profitable mobilephone maker in terms of net profit rate, and behind Nokia in gross profit. It had been achieved by her marketshare growth in high end handset market.
Sony Ericsson’s multimedia phones — mainly its Cybershot camera phones and Walkman music devices — are already popular overseas. But because the company makes GSM devices, it has yet to make a dent in the CDMA-heavy U.S. market. The new phones it plans to introduce later this year will be optimized for U.S. networks. The company also said it plans to launch a music phone campaign this summer and push its Cybershot phones in the 2008 holiday season.
Motorola also unveiled several new multimedia devices at CES — including the video-centric Moto Z10 and the Rokr E8 music phone — but Credit Sight’s Zhao was unimpressed.
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)...
An elegant clamshell phone which combines a rich feature set with striking good looks. It’s a perfect match of the latest feature set with an innovative diamond design, intended to make one big style statement.
Together with the Z555, Sony Ericsson announced a series of stylish new accessories including a Design Collection of four leather bags all offering unique and creative carrying solutions, as well as three new sleek Bluetooth™ Headsets, HBH-PV708, HBH-PV770 and HBH-PV712.
“The Z555 is designed to reflect your look and attract attention,” said Sven Totte, Head of Style Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We’ve created it for people who are looking for a beautifully designed phone that reflects their personal style and does not compromise on features or performance.”

The new devices is good and we can say AT LAST! we have something new, but to be honest, the specifications of those phones is too poor for modern demands, even for budget handsets I think (Except of the Sony Ericsson W760 of course :) )
The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog has published first live picture of the Sony Ericsson Z660. The picture contains only surface view and there's nothing really to look at, but at least we have a real picture of this device and at least now we have something to wait for from Sony Ericsson :D
Not so long ago new rumors started to appear on the Internet about Sony Ericsson's new ultra-slim clamshell device Sony Ericsson Z660.
According to those rumors, Sony Ericsson has been working on a new clamshell device, which would be made in a metal and its thickness would be quite small, somewhere in a region of 14 mm.
The phone would be equipped with a 2mp camera and would be intended to work in the networks of the third generation.
Besides of the rumors, we have a spy picture too. How much is that a spy pic I don't know. It's more like a screenshot from AD, but the rumors state otherwise.
