K750/D750



They are finally: K750i, W800, J300 and K300

Posted by Luis Camino on Mar 1, 2005 in Hot| J300| K300| K750/D750| Press releases| W800

Products unveiled on March 1

I’m heading for the press conference in 10 minutes, but from what Mobile-review has already published, It might seem like we had been shifting our expectations a bit too much for the past couple of weeks. No P915/P1000, no multi-gigabyte Walkmans, no double speakers, no innovative form factors, just two high end models and two low ends. Anyway the K750 and W800 do look like amazing phones, and they finally released a cool flash add-on. Here’s a quick review of the specs.
K750: appart from the specs we already know, the Memory Stick Duo support goes up to 2Gb.
W800: The same as K750 with some added music features like the ability to play MP3 with the phone switched off (that’s a battery life of 30 hours) and a line-out accesory for connecting it to a Hi-Fi system. However, it only supports Memory Stick Duo cards up to 512Mb. UPDATE: Not exactly, it does support cards of 2Gb, and it includes a 512mb card in the package.
J300: A J200 with exchangeable covers, antenna loop and slightly smaller screen.
K300: A J300/J200 with VGA camera.
I’ll come back with more details and live photos in a couple of hours.

K750i Preview

Posted by Luis Camino on Mar 2, 2005 in K750/D750| Reviews

K750 laying side Sony Ericsson expects to repeat the success of the T610 with the new K750i by packing all imaginable features inside. However one of the keys of the T610 revolution was its unique design, and with today’s tough competition in the feature department, K750i may fail in offering a distinctive style. This moring at the SE press conference there were mixed emotions about the new flagships’ aesthetics (both the K750 and the W800). They can be loved or hated, but I’d say the K750i can even go unnoticed. Subjectiveness aside, it’s such a great and featured device it will outstand in the market for a very long time. And of course we still have to see the silver color version.

Sony Ericsson receives all possible awards across Europe

Posted by Luis Camino on Nov 14, 2006 in K750/D750| K800/K790| P990| Press releases| The company| W810| W900

I Love Sony EricssonThe Spanish Television and Press Graphic Reporters Association (accronym banned) has awarded the K800 the distinction of the Best Cameraphone of 2006, as an outstanding product that helps the professional photographer optimize his job.

In the United Kingdom, Sony Ericsson has also been awarded by consumers with the Best Manufacturer Of The Year award, the Best Mobile Phone Of The Year award to the K800 â€â€which also was voted the “Readers’ Dream Phone“â€â€, and the Best Music Phone award to the W810.

Finally, the German edition of the Connect magazine granted, with readers’s votes, the awards of Best Cameraphone to the K800 (45,2% of the votes, and the apparently-not-so-old K750 being in third place), Best Music Phone to the W810 (with 59,9% of the votes), Best 3G Phone to the W900, and Best PDA Phone to the P990 (hmm…).

To summarize, Sony Ericsson nowadays seems to be losing the “best phone with wheels and facial hair” category only, or whatever. Unstoppable!

Windows Live Messenger for Sony Ericsson Sorry, third-parties, all JAVA-enabled Sony Ericssons now have official support from Microsoft to run their new Windows Live Messenger Mobile application. MSN/Windows Messenger site Mess.be found this goodie in a chineese MSN website. Well, actually, functionality may be a little below some other JAVA clients, but if you’re like me and only need your contact list and being able to chat with some few emoticons, you’ll take this Windows Live themed instant messenger over anything else. Apparently these download links (be careful to chose the version for your model) are completely legal and free to download, but after a couple of months they will stop working unless you pay a small unknown monthly fee. Hmm, let’s just enjoy it in the meantime and we’ll talk again in January. Check some screenshots of it running on K800 inside this entry. [Via Mess.be].

Hands on with Noreve’s leather cases for Sony Ericsson

Posted by Eric Resendiz on Oct 30, 2006 in Accesories| K610| K750/D750| K800/K790| M600| P990| Photos| Reviews| W800| W810| W850| W900| W950| Z800/V800

Noreve cases for Sony EricssonStraight out from the French Riviera, Noreve offers a series of high quality leather cases for almost all current mid-high Sony Ericssons, for those who don’t mind losing some portability in favor of protecting the precious device inside while adding a touch of style and personalization with the many leather colors available. I say losing portability because after trying these with my P990, it just won’t fit any comfortably in trousers any tighter than 50 Cent’s. It shouldn’t be a big problem for smaller models’ users though â€â€the P990 itself isn’t very pocket-friendly anywayâ€â€, but it’s fair to say that these cases add considerable bulk to your phone, not to mention if you even attach the huge belt clip. This belt clip led McCoy, reviewer of the black M600/W950 and red P990 cases, to find a funny problem with the back screw, which you can check in the video (in all Superhandz style) after the jump, along with photos of those and my black and white P990 cases.

Enhanced Windows Media Player template for Bluetooth Remote Control

Posted by Luis Camino on May 8, 2006 in K310| K510| K600/V600/K608| K610| K700| K750/D750| K800/K790| S700| Software| W300/Z530| W600/W550| W800| W810| W900| Z520| Z800/V800

Enhanced Windows Media Player template for Bluetooth Remote ControlTired of my K750’s remote control template for Media Player lacking a couple of functions, I have customized it a bit and thought I should share it with you. As you can see in the background image, it’s the same template but adding the Shuffle, Repeat, Full Screen and Mute functions of Windows Media Player. If your phone has a smaller screen resolution than 176×220 you can resample the image and edit the template with the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Remote Control application.

Neat USB 2.0 Memory Stick DUO card reader

Posted by Luis Camino on Mar 16, 2006 in Accesories| K750/D750| P910| P990| S700| W800| W810| W900| Z800/V800

Memory Stick DUO USB readerI waited until I got it shipped because I wanted to see if it lived up to its promises, and it certainly does! If you need a 1 or 2gb USB pendrive, but already have that amount of storage in your Sony Ericsson, this is for you: it just turns your memory card into a USB 2.0 plug and play mass storage device! And the best way to load MP3’s, of course. Okay, maybe not a technology wonder, but it’s as small as it can get, sleek, really fast and it’s price is a joke. How else can you get a gigabyte flash drive for less than 3 dollars?

NOTE: I’m not the seller nor do I get commission or anything, I just LOVE it :)

Did you know…? The magic volume keys

Posted by Luis Camino on Jan 28, 2006 in Hot| K750/D750| Site news| W600/W550| W800

Sony Ericsson's magic volume keysWe do have an excuse if you didn’t find news around here for a while, even if there was a lot of spy shooting lately (to which we have something to say about, but later on that) or you sent in news or cool stuff (all will get published); it’s been the holidays, our comeback to California, the yearly server slowdown/upgrade, and the resulting technical problems in the forum, altogether. So while we’re updating the latter, here’s a little trick I found myself the other day and will certainly surprise more than one or two readers out there. Were you, like me, furious about the first so called music phones, W800/K750 and W600, not having dedicated music buttons other than the pretty basic “music button”? Will I make your life happier if I suggest you to press-and-hold the volume buttons from any menu, keypad locked or not, during playback, and you found yourself skipping songs? Oh yes! now go tell everybody, you SE prophet!

And if you already knew, why the heck didn’t you tell us!?

UPDATE: Steve tells us it also works in the V800, so it may also be a feature of the K600, K700 and S700?



New portable and desktop speakers, MPS-60 and MDS-60

Posted by Luis Camino on Jan 4, 2006 in Accesories| K750/D750| P990| Press releases| W600/W550| W800| W810| W900| Z520

Sony Ericsson MPS-60 and MDS-60 portable and desktop speaker setsStill no press releases or photos available in Sony Ericsson’s websites, but along with the W810 announcement they emailed to UCSE, they presented these couple of cool speaker sets, one more portable-ish, one more desktop-ish, to go with the known MDS-70 (which, numbering-wise, should sound better?). The MPS-60 is really really small and pocketable, at 30×55x42 mm, while the MDS-60 measures 54×120x200 mm. They will be available in the first quarter of 2006 at unknown price and in colors Silver, White and Orange.

Synchronizing Sony Ericssons with iTunes

Posted by Luis Camino on Oct 27, 2005 in K750/D750| P990| Software| W800| W900

Sony Ericsson in iTunesNot one, not even two, but THREE pieces of software have I found that will let you synchronize your MP3s with iTunes, if you just sold your iPod to buy a W800 :) After the great success of that phone and the unveiling of the ROKR-killer W900i, this is the last boost to the fast comeback of the Walkman brand. But remember! If your SE isn’t Walkman branded, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the same features: all these iTunes add-ons will work with any mass-storage compliant phone (that’s every Sony Ericsson with Fast Port and Memory Stick slot). [Via Engadget, Pocket-lint and Tea Vui Huang]

iWalkman by The Office Maven
iTuneMyWalkman by Ilari Scheinin
Mass Storage Synchronizer by Tea Vui Huang

Which one is better overall or better for your needs? Do you know of any other software? Discuss this in the forum
