Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc coming soon in Indonesia

Sonyericsson-arc1-e12946049993

Sony Ericsson Indonesia website has made the hot news about the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, this phones is recently exhibited at CES 2011 and have been announced will be available soon in Indonesia three months from now. This is quite surprising news, especially for users who live in the U.S.

Someone tipped off Engadget have been informed that he had found the news through the Sony Ericsson website that has been written that Xperia Arc is "hadir 3 bukan lagi", thats mean "will be available within 3 month" although there has not written the exact release date...sigh.

The Arc definitely delivers the goods with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, sports with a 4.2-inch “Reality Display“, 1GHz Processor, HDMI out, 8.1 megapixel camera, and is sits at a sexy 8.7mm thin. The Sony Ericsson Arc is probably one of the sexiest phones, let alone Android phones, I’ve ever seen.

Check out this Sony Ericsson Anzu detailed specs

Sonyericsson-x12

Sony Ericsson Anzu or probably gonna be called Xperia X12 once its official, is the new Android based phone from Sony Ericsson. The leaked specs is pretty good. The device is going to sports a 4.3-inch display with 854x480 resolution, a 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM 7230 (same with the one in Desire Z,) a 12 mega pixel camera and also capable to record a 720p video.

While the specs are pretty good, I still don't understands why SE decided to use an 800MHz processor while others are opted to use the 1.2GHz processor. To add more disappointment, reports said that Anzu's going to use Android 2.1 instead of the upcoming Android 2.3 (boo!) 

The device isn't even out yet, but let's just hope that once its official, it'll use the latest OS version. But, If this Anzu phone isn't gonna get you excited, then how about the Playstation Phone?

2011 will be very exciting!

Playstation Phone is real and its coming in 2011

Engadgetpspphone7
Back in August, there's a rumor that Sony Ericsson is working on a gaming device that will run the newest Android version, Gingerbread. At that time, it was only a rumor with a photoshoped picture. Until today.. readers, above is the real picture of the Playstation Phone, reported by Engadget. The device will be equipped with a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, a 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and also a screen size around 3.7 to 4.1 inches. It will also have a slide out dedicated gaming buttons and a shoulder buttons, just like you saw in PSP Go. If you take a closer look, it appears that there were also a front facing camera, possibly for a video call or maybe a MotionEye camera.

Along with the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the Playstation Phone might also shipped with a custom market place (PSN?) so that users can buy Playstation games from it. We still don't know when the phone will be released or officially announced, but you'll probably have to wait until around 2011.

Check out more pictures from Engadget.

Sony Ericsson wants a slice of Windows Phone 7 too

Sony-ericsson-logo
Sony Ericsson has published its Q3 financial results and as it gains more profit despite of selling less number of phones compared to previous quarter, Sony Ericsson clearly stated that now smartphone is their new gold mine. More than 50% of this quarter phone sold are smartphones -- thanks to Android platform for this -- and Bert Nordberg, CEO of Sony Ericsson, as cited by Bloomberg, said that their side want to diversify into Windows Phone 7, without telling much detail.

Sony Ericsson has been a slow adopter in smartphone world. Previously it was one of the latest big player to enter Android army, due to much of consideration of converting from current market leader, Symbian Oyj.

Sony Ericsson had unveiled two Windows Mobile phones in the past, Xperia X1 and X2. Current Microsoft partner for Windows Phone 7 are HTC, LG, and Samsung. Windows Phone 7 require high specifications, including 1GHz processor, dedicated graphic card processor, 256MB RAM, etc.

Sony Ericsson announced LiveView for Android

So yesterday, Sony Ericsson announced the LiveView, it's basically a small device that featured a 1.3" OLED display that can be paired with any Android devices using a Bluetooth. With LiveView, users will have control over the phone without having to take it out of their pocket or bag. User can read text messages, see incoming calls & even keep up to date with the latest news from Facebook & Twitter.

Sony Ericsson LiveView sized just about 35x35x11 mm and weighs 15 grams, and because of its small size, you can clip the device practically anywhere, there's even a wrist strap so you can wear it as a watch. But I'm not really sure if the device is water resistant though. Sony Ericsson also claims that the device should last around 4 days under normal usage.

If you're interested with the Sony Ericsson LiveView, the device will be available in black starting Q4 of 2010.

Sony: Android 2.1 is coming to Xperia X10 by the end of September

Se-android-21-tweet-rm-eng

So according to Sony Ericsson's UK Twitter account, the Xperia X10 phones, including the X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro, will be getting an upgrade to Android 2.1 by the end of September. As we already know, despite being the hottest phone in Sony Ericsson's line up this year, the X10 is a bit 'late' when it comes to its Android version. While most of the newer Android's phones (eg. Samsung Galaxy S) are already running Android 2.1 and above, the X10 is still running Android 1.6.
If this is true, then this is a great news to all X10 owners out there, finally their phone are getting an update. Sure it's not Android 2.2 aka Froyo, but hey, 2.1 is still a lot better than 1.6. I'm just curious if Sony Ericsson's are going to make some changes or even add some new features on its already awesome custom UI.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8: budget Android phone

Xperia_x8_white_front40-285x60

Along with Cedar and Yendo, Sony Ericsson brought new member of Xperia family. Named as X8, this phone targets mid-to-low segments with less than EUR200 (US$247) for recommended price. Its size is between X10 mini and X10. 

The specs include 3 inch TFT HVGA (320 x 480 pixels) capacitive touchscreen (single touch) with 16 million color depth fast 600MHz Qualcomm processor, 128MB internal storage with additional storage via microSD™ card (2GB included; up to 16GB supported), a 3.2 megapixel camera with VGA video recording, Wi-Fi 802.11g and HSPA at 7.2Mbps download.

The phone will be available on Q3, and oddly the Sony Ericsson team isn't decided whether the phone will be launched with OS 1.6 then be updated to OS 2.1 later or directly pre-loading OS 2.1. The situation is given because OS 2.1 for Sony Ericsson handsets is not yet ready to pass testing phase and will be ready by late of Q3, while at that time, Google is ready to unveil new version of their OS, codenamed Gingerbread or 2.3.

In the meantime, take a look at this official video from Sony Ericsson's Developer World.

Sony Ericsson Jolie: a Win Phone 7 phone

Windows-phone

Seems like more as leaked than rumor, Sony Ericsson is set to join Windows Phone 7 bandwagon by creating a phone codenamed Jolie. The known specs of Jolie are 1GHz (or more) processor, sliding keyboard, and 4 inch capacitive touchscreen, similar to X10, but with multitouch support.

The announcement date should be trailed with Windows Phone's official launch (and its phone line ups) by end of the year.
