A few days ago, we brought you a couple of pictures of the upcoming Sony Ericsson Paris. Now, we have some more, well actually a lot more, courtesy of mobile-review.com. A guy over at their forums got some hands-on time with the new device and posted his views on it.
According to him, there aren't too many discernible differences in the new UIQ 3.3 interface and the same goes for the hardware putting it next SE's G700 and G900. He goes on to give a better opinion about its applications and the aGPS with the 5-megapixel camera being a bit better than the one on G900. Here are some confirmed specs of the Paris so far:
- 5-megapixel camera
- aGPS and Google Maps and WayFinder
- WiFi and Bluetooth
- 2.6-inch screen
- 960mAH battery
- QWERTY keyboard/touch-sensitive buttons
- Widgets Application
- New browser version
- Symbian UIQ ver3.3
The Sony Ericsson W62S Phone is a global roaming clamshell phone. Its features include a 2-megapixel camera, WQVGA (432×240) screen, and microSD slot. It also comes in with three stylish colors, namely the Silver-Leather, Black-Rose and White-Lime.
Lastly, the W62S supports KDDI's EV-DO service, CDMA 1X WIN and international roaming service in over 180 countries. It has a micro card slot expandable to 2GB and the W62S offers 240 minutes of continuous calling.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that 2008 is the year of the touchscreen phones. We have already seen the Xperia X1, the Tube, the 3G iPhone, the Vu, and the awesomeness called Touch Diamond, not to forget the Xenium 800 from Philips. That's pretty much every major cell phone manufacturer out there people! Here's one more touchscreen device from Sony Ericsson, which is codenamed Paris.
The Paris looks to be a slider with a humongous screen and runs on Symbian UIQ 3.3, the latest version of UIQ after it was acquired by Sony Ericsson. As we can garner from the pictures, the phone has a 5-megapixel camera and a QWERTY keypad. There is no info on whether it has HSDPA/HSUPA, GPS, or if the screen is VGA, but if all these points tally up, we will have one more hot contender for the HTC Diamond, don't you think?
The W350i has a small but roomy design. It is fashioned as a small portable music player - hence, its part of Sony Ericsson's ever expanding line of Walkman phones. The W350i stores up to 470 songs on the memory card. The W350i has the excellent TrackID feature. The W350i keeps you entertained. Tune in the FM radio to your favorite station, or try a solo - the W350i also comes pre-loaded with Guitar Legend, a mobile game for rock'n'roll buffs.
Sony Ericsson's new phone, the C902, has made an appearance at the good ol' FCC. The device is now approved, and should hit the world markets soon. The C902 is another phone in the Cybershot series and compatible with UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and tri-band GSM networks. The camera on this baby is pretty sophisticated, including autofocus, flash, face detection and video capabilities.
Transfering photos onto a PC is easy: you can do it over Bluetooth or USB. You can also print pictures by connecting the camera to a compatible printer. Other usual niceties include PhotoDJ and VideoDJ to manage/edit your photos and video clips. The C902 supports Memory Stick Micro (M2) memory card.
No word on the pricing, but the Sony Ericsson C902 Cybershot phone will be available -- check back with us later.
The phone is already available now for $49.99 with a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate.
It's funny how companies try to keep new products under wraps, and sometimes the most innocent of things reveals them. This time, it's the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 device, a Windows Mobile phone slated for a September 2008 release. That may seem far away, but for those eagerly waiting for the device - you know it's worth it.
The news was leaked thanks to Handango's newsletter. The Xperia X1, which will come with Handango's InHand service built-in, features a WVGA resolution screen (800x480 pixels). Obviously, the phone will be available in multiple languages.

One more Sony Ericsson leak for the day, the daftly codenamed "beibei." It looks like the guys over at Yesky were able to get their hands on an actual device, based on the quality of the pictures available. There isn't much detail available on the device, unlike the P5 and G502 we reported on earlier but what is known is that beibei belongs to the Walkman series from SE and will run on Symbian OS 9.3 with the new UIQ 3.3 user interface (with Demand Paging support). The device has a display smaller than the usual touchscreen phones and curiously more buttons than is the norm for a touchscreen smartphone. Also, from one of the pictures, we can see that the phone does have WiFi connectivity. That's about it as far as the details go about this mysterious device.
Of course, nothing can be confirmed until the official announcement by Sony Ericsson in the future, and we will be sure to let you know when they do. Meanwhile, take a look at some more pictures of "beibei" after the break.
