MWC – Sony step back too

Mobile World Congress, the usually-massive mobile trade show in Barcelona, is getting quieter by the day as various exhibitors either ditch press briefings, reduce their attendance or cancel completely. This is all due to the continuing coronavirus outbreak, with more than 40,000 cases of the virus globally. LG, …

The name’s Bond, James Bond. My Xperia T is exclusive-ish to O2

The new 007 movie will, as usual, feature some rather awkward and obvious product placements. Remember Bond jumping into that Ford Fiesta in the previous film? Yeah. That. It seems that O2 will bag the exclusive on his new phone – the Sony Xperia T. Exclusive? Well, we …

Sony Xperia tipo headed to Orange

The cute Sony Xperia tip looks set to arrive on both O2 and now Orange too. The handset sits squarely in the “Entry Level” category with a 3.1 megapixel shooter, 800MHz CPU, 3.2″ 320×480 pixel screen and 2.5GB on board storage. However, the phone does run Android Ice …

If you’ve got yourself an Xperia ray, have a look for updates because ICS appears to have been delivered. Martin Frow tipped us off after getting a notification on his handset.. Just thought I’d let you know that I plugged my Xperia Ray into my PC this morning …

MWC – Is it all about the brand?

What is it about a brand? I had a pretty long conversation this evening about just that. Sure, specs and build quality matter. Innovation, ease-of-use and simplicity matters. However, there’s a definite brand following that people might not admit to. Take Apple for example. Truth be told, there’s …

Sony Xperia S coming to T-Mobile in March (and Three)

On my daily flick through the different networks coming soon sections I found the upcoming Sony Xperia S on T-Mobile. No prices, no solid dates, it just says March. I also found it on Three as well here. There is only a form to fill in if you …

No change – Xperia S still due in March

We were pretty surprised and pretty much ignored earlier indications that the Xperia S was set to arrive on Play.com in January. We’ve had contact from Sony Ericsson to confirm that the release date is, and always has been, March. The guys at Play.com have now altered the …

Xperia S – Light belt tells you what’s happening

Over on Facebook the Sony Ericsson guys have posted a close-up of the Sony Xperia S and highlights the “illuminating transparent belt”. We saw this earlier in our in-depth look but it seems that it’s not just a funky part of the design. It’s a notification light, and …

Sony Tapioca – More details revealed

A few days back we saw a rather large list of leaked Sony (Ericsson) handsets. One was called the “Tapioca”, aka the ST21i. It’s now stated to have a single-core 800MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM and runs Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread). Other specs include a 3.2″ HVGA (320×480) …

Sony Xperia S – In finer detail

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro review

Android-powered handsets sporting hardware QWERTY keyboards are a bit of underrated niche. Whilst there’s many form factors out there, just a handful of those were actually worthwhile. Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Mini Pro, although quite popular, never attracted me enough due to its tiny size. This made it look …

Xperia Arc HD teased again?

Well, that’s an Android then. Despite our earlier guess that Sony Ericsson had gone all Windows Phone on us it looks like this will be the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD, aka Nozomi. The camera / video switcher image is a bit of an Android give-away here, and …

Review – The Ericsson A2628 from Lekki

“Yeah, send it over, we’ll take a look”. ..that’s usually my response when we’re offered a phone to review. This time it was the guys at Lekki on the phone. They get “vintage” mobile phones and video games, get them working, in tip-top condition and then give them …
