We’re still waiting for word to drop on an actual launch day, but until then we’ll take some pleasure in knowing that Sony Ericsson’s first Android phone, the Xperia X10, will launch sometime in February of next year.

In case you forgot this phone has an 8 megapixel camera, a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB of built-in storage, 4 inch touchscreen, WiFi, GPS. 3.5mm headphone jack and more.

If you’re interested, there is some sample video after the ‘leap’ that was shot with the X10.

Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia X10, their first phone based on the Android OS and running on the powerful 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The phone looks to contain a slew of snazzy features and some hefty hardware. And that’s a good thing especially if you’re trying to compete with the likes of the ubiquitous and all-knowing DROID. Check out these features:

• Quad-band GSM and EDGE
• 4.0 inches, 480 x 854 pixels (WVGA), scratch-resistant capacitive screen

It’s been sometime since we heard anything about Sony Ericsson’s Satio, but today the phone went on sale to Vodafone customers. Sign up for a 2-year plan and you can grab it for free. Specs wise were looking at one of the first 12.1 megapixel cameras, media player, GPS…

This is probably an idea that should have come along well before now.  What you’re looking at in the pic above is a pair of earbuds that–get this–stop playing when you pull them out of your ears.  Yes, they automatically pause playback when you take them out, allowing you to never miss a beat of all your favorite songs.  They’re the Ericsson MH907, and they only come with one real downside.

They come equipped with motion detectors, and if you have them hooked to an Ericcson phone with a fast port connector, you can actually answer your phone by plugging in your earbud.

They’ll be available on the order of soon and cost fifty five bucks, but the downside is that they’ll only be available for the Sony Ericcson phone.  As soon as someone comes out with an iPod version, I bet you’ll never see them in stores because they’ll be bought out at frantic paces.

Sony Ericsson announced the Jalou, their newest mobile phone featuring the latest in fashionable design. The typical technical specs are all there including 3G, 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, etc; but what sets this clamshell phone apart is a highly fashionable “bling” design, as one can see from the facet-cut diamond face. Not only that but a Dolce & Gabbana special edition will be available, featuring…

Sony Ericsson maybe struggling for market share, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a few tricks up their sleeves.  Leaked by way of Expansys, we now know that the handset manufacture will release an Android version of their Xperia phone called the Xperia X3 Rachael.   Spec wise you can expect an 8 megapixel camera with face detect, LED flash and image stabilization.  Also included will be some sort of custom UI atop the Android OS – probably more panel stuff – as well as quad-band GSM connectivity, a 4-inch 800×400 touchscreen, WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot.

AT&T and Sony Ericsson Launch Two Phones That Give Consumers Instant Access to Their World

The Sony Ericsson C905a Cyber-shot(TM) camera phone offers the ultimate digital camera experience on a phone and W518a Walkman(TM) phone makes mobile social networking easier than ever.
DALLAS and Research Triangle Park, N.C., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — AT&T* and Sony Ericsson deliver the ultimate photography and social networking experiences this summer with the introduction of two new devices, the Sony Ericsson C905a Cyber-shot(TM) and the W518a Walkman(TM). These mobile phones offer exciting features that encourage self-expression and allow users to share exciting moments in their lives.

Boasting an impressive 8.1 megapixel camera, the highest resolution ever in a phone from AT&T, and advanced features such as face detection, autofocus, xenon flash and GPS tagging, the C905a Cyber- shot(TM) camera phone helps photo enthusiasts simplify their lives by using one device to capture moments on the go while also taking advantage of the latest wireless services on the nation’s fastest 3G network.

The W518a Walkman(TM) phone is the total package in personalized entertainment, revealing a new way to use Facebook(R), conversational messaging, highly interactive music features, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Stay up to date on W518a news and events by becoming a fan of the W518a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/SEUSA.

“Sony Ericsson has created two signature phones that enhance the quality of photography and social networking on a phone and take advantage of exciting AT&T services like AT&T Navigator and Video Share,” said Michael Woodward, vice president, Mobile Phone Portfolio, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “The C905a is the best camera available in a mobile phone today and the W518a’s unique Facebook(R) user interface and Walkman music features will elevate how our customers express themselves.”

“We have two new phones appealing to camera lovers and Facebook(R) users, delivering unique ways for consumers to express themselves,” said Karen Morris, vice president of marketing, Sony Ericsson. “Featuring a broad range of capabilities packed into a slick, easy-to-use slider form factor, the C905a is a versatile choice, whether you’re an avid photographer and early technology adopter, or a proud parent who always wants your digital camera by your side. The W518a is a compact, stylish phone for multitasking consumers who must stay connected to their friends. The addictive Facebook(R) application combined with great music and multimedia features place users at the forefront of social networking. We’re excited to bring these phones to the U.S. market with AT&T.”

C905a Cyber-shot(TM) – capture brilliant images with your phone

With versatile new features and a sleek design, the C905a raises the bar set by other camera phones as the first phone that looks, acts and feels like a digital camera. The 2.4-inch scratch-resistant mineral glass screen provides users with a crystal-clear view of their subject, and dedicated camera keys and shortcuts make it easy to point and shoot. This full digital camera experience is packaged in a stylish 3G slider phone.

Highlights of the C905a are face detection, a xenon flash with red-eye reduction and Memory Stick Micro(TM) (M2(TM)) storage compatible up to 16 GB, so an extensive portfolio of photos can be stored and easily transferred to and from your computer using the included USB cable. The USB cable also enables easy printing from the C905a directly to PictBridge compatible printers. BestPic(TM) technology captures seven successive photos with one click, allowing the shooter to choose only the best photos to keep. The Smart Contrast feature compensates for areas that are too bright or dark.

The C905a, which Outside Magazine recently awarded “Gear of the Year,” is also loaded with an array of multimedia offerings, including AT&T Video Share, video recording, AT&T Music, FM radio, Mobile Email, AT&T Navigator and instant messaging. With AT&T Video Share, consumers can share their summer experiences in real-time streaming video.

W518a – Stay in tune with your social circle

The W518a is a unique, all-in-one device that enables people to stay connected and express themselves on the go. Packed with social networking features in a thin design, users just open the phone to view Facebook(R)( )friends’ status updates and profile photos. One click from the W518a’s standby screen allows social butterflies to update their Facebook(R) status. Also it’s easy to upload photos to your profile directly from the W518a’s 3.2 megapixel camera.

The W518a is also loaded with other cool innovations to deliver a highly interactive music experience. Advanced Shake Control technology lets users shuffle, skip and control volume with a flick of the wrist. Music buffs no longer have to be tied to their computer to buy music – the W518a lets users purchase and download music over the air from Napster(TM) Mobile and eMusic Mobile(TM) via AT&T Music.

In addition to Shake Control for music, Gesture Control technology lets users reject incoming calls or send the alarm to snooze with just a wave of the hand over the W518a’s camera lens.

Pricing and Availability

Both the C905a Cyber-shot(TM) and W518a Walkman(TM) will be available in AT&T stores or at www.wireless.att.com beginning July 19.

Wow, it’s taken like forever for Sony Ericsson’s C905 to hit US shores (it’ll be the C905a), but now it appears that the 8 megapixel phone is finally here, well almost.  The rumorville says it will debut on the AT&T network on July 19th.  Price is still unknown but this does appear to be the carrier’s first 8 megapixel shooter.  I wonder if this version will include a 2GB microSD card?  Nonetheless, you’ll get a 2.4-inch scratch resistant screen, Xenon flash, face detect and a whole mess of other camera phone features.

At the time of launch we knew that Sony Ericsson’s 12 megapixel camera phone, the Idou, would receive a name change once it got closer to an official launch. Well, that day – not the launch day, but the name day – has come. The Sony Ericsson Idou will be officially released as the ‘Satio’. Why they went with this moniker instead of Idou, which I personally prefer, is anyone’s guess. Still no word on a street date for the handset, but in case you forgot it is the first phone to sport a…

Sony Ericsson bridged the gap between high end and low end today by launching the W205 Walkman phone.  It features a paltry 1.3MP camera with video recording, a 1.8-inch 128×160 display, memory stick card slot, FM radio with RDS, Opera web browser, Bluetooth and an Ambient Black finish.  The W205 will support GSM/GPRS/900/1800, while the 205A variant will support GSM/GPRS 850/1900.  Expect the W205 to launch in Q3 2009.

Keeping things a bit more underwhelming today is Sony Ericsson’s T707 flip phone.  It’s endorsed by tennis star Maria Sharapova and much like the graceful tennis star it boasts a slender and sleek body.  What makes this handset slightly different is the ability to silence calls (or an alarm) by waving your hand over the external display of the handset.  Other than that, it’s your usual cell phone with quad band GSM 3G/EDGE connectivity, 2.2-inch 320×240 internal display, 1.1-inch external monochrome OLED display, 3.2MP camera, memory stick slot and media player.

No word on a specific US release, but the T707 will hit Q2 of this year and come in Mysterious Black, Spring Rose and Lucid Blue.

Full release after the ‘leap’

Miami, USA – 26th March 2009 – Sony Ericsson today announced its latest mobile phone, the T707, with tennis star and style icon Maria Sharapova, who perfectly epitomises the phone’s sleek and elegant qualities.

The T707 truly interacts with the user – it lights up when you receive a call and you can personalise the light settings to each of your friends, so you always know who wants you. If you are too busy to answer, simply end the call with a wave of your hand over the screen – you can also do the same gesture to snooze the alarm – your very own magic wand!

“The T707 is my ultimate new accessory,” said Maria. “I am always on the go and I need a phone that is easy to use, and of course chic as well! I never miss a call with the eye-catching light effects and personalised pulsation settings and I love the fact that I can just wave my hand to mute a call using the gesture control. I can also use my practical and stylish Bluetooth(TM) Headset HBH-PV715 to take my calls, check my emails and blog to my website from the phone. It’s great to have a phone that looks good but also lets me keep up-to-date with everything I need.”

Perfect pixels for every pose
Coordinate the T707 to any outfit, as it comes in a rainbow range of three clam shells to suit every mood. Whatever you wear will be perfectly captured by the 3.2 megapixel camera, making sure that you stand out on screen as much as you do in real life. The photos can then be uploaded to your personal social networking site using the HTML web browser, so you and your friends can keep up to date wherever you are.

Customise your phone like your clothes
With the T707 you will never be left behind in the style stakes, as the 2.2 inch screen is waiting to be customised to your individual taste. The changing wallpaper themes will ensure that you are never caught wearing clashing colours! The theme also changes from day into evening, which is perfect if, like Maria, you need to match with everything from tennis whites to a little black dress.

Packed with extras, as one option is never enough.
This is one accessory you will never leave home without as the T707 packs in more extras than even your handbag. The FM radio and Bluetooth(TM) audio streaming will entertain you when you are out and about, and you can download music, games and ringtones at the touch of a button with PlayNow(TM) to ensure that boredom is something which happens to other people!

“The T707 is the next step in the style evolution from Sony Ericsson,” said Linda Schori, Global Marketing Business Manager for Style Category, Sony Ericsson. “Maria Sharapova is the perfect partner for us as she exemplifies not only elegance but also substance, just like the T707. It works hard and is also sleek, glamorous and desirable – a truly winning combination!”

Maria knows that all eyes will be on her this season and thanks to her new T707; she can rest assured that whatever she does, she will look stylish, glamorous and be in control of her life with just the wave of a hand.

The T707
The light of your life
Unique pulsating notification and light effects
Day and Night changing theme
Gesture control for muting calls and alarm
Capture moments with 3.2 MP camera
The T707 supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA 2100. The T707a supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100. The T707 will be available in selected markets from Q2 in the colours Mysterious Black, Spring Rose and Lucid Blue.
