Sony Ericsson C905 8.1-Megapixel Cybershot Phone Gets Official Specs

by Sohrab Osati | Jun 18, 2008 | 13 comments

So the rumors have been indeed true, the new Sony Ericsson C905 will indeed boast an 8.1 Megapixel camera and were going to go ahead and say, thats an industry first. Top that iPhone with your 2 Mexapixels (although we will be the firs to admit that Pixel count dosent mean shit and lens and chip does but with that in mind, there is a huge diff. between a 8.1 and a 2 Megapixel count).

But if you thought that it ended with just a high pixel count, then you don’t know Sony as the phone also features Xenon flash, auto face detection and image stabilization and a nice zoom. (Ok, now we can look at the iPhone and say wtf). But Sony didn’t stop there either. The C905 also boasts:

Quad-band GSM (9-hours talk / 380 hours standby)
Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100
Auto-rotating, 2.4-inch scratch-resistant QVGA display
aGPS with Google Maps
A2DP stereo Bluetooth
TV-out
2GB of included Memory Stick Micro (M2)
WiFi with DLNA support

Look for a global launch of Q4

Sony Ericsson is introducing two new Mobile Internet dongles dubbed the MD400 and MD400g. Both units connect via USB with a folding antenna and offer HSPA connectivity with 7.2MB/s downloads and 2.0MB/s downloads. Integrated in both are also a MemoryStick Micro and MicroSD card reader. Those who opt for the MD400g, will also get built in GPS and NMEA 2.0 interface, meaning they can just connect to their Mac or PC and find themselves on Google Maps. No price yet but release is expected to be later this year. Its nice to see Sony continuing its love with Google.

The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905, codenamed “Shiho”, is rumored to be announced on the 17th of this month. Why should you care? Because this sucker boast a 8.1-megapixel camera with “auto focus, face recognition, a new feature called Smart Contrast, image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash as well as photoflash for both photos and videos.” So you might already be impressed by that. But further rumors put the phone with a GPS, an accelerometer, 2.4-inch QVGA display, TV-out, Wi-Fi, DLNA support, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 transfers. If there is one company who knows how to keep products high tech, stylish and in size, it continues to be Apple Sony.

Sony Ericsson Paris Video Confirms Some Rumors

by Sohrab Osati | Jun 6, 2008 | 2 comments

I CALLED IT! WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say. Nothing feels as good as calling out a few rumors and having them be true (and trust me, when I talked about the up coming Paris from Sony Ericsson, I mentioned everything possible from V8’s to Mini Fridge) so its no surprise to see a new promo video for the Sony Ericsson Paris and having it confirm to do a few of the things I had posted rumors about it doing. So remember, it worked for me and it going to work on firmware 2.4. So next time your clueless about something, just say anything and everything (and yes I love Carpet works) and its bound to come true. After all, it works for our government.

Sony Ericsson launches Z780 and G502 cellphones

by Sohrab Osati | Apr 24, 2008 | 23 comments

With the slowing economy comes a slow down in consumer spending. Whether that means just buying less or spending less on particular items. With that in mind, Sony has just launched a pair of mid ranged, handsets, the Z780 and G502.

The clamshell Z780 will be packed with UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE radios. While it comes loaded with Google Maps for Mobile and aGPS navigation and a 2.2-inches and 320 x 240 pixels screen. The Candybar like G502 also features Maps but lacks the aGPS. Both also include M2 memory expansion, Bluetooth and a 2 Megapixel camera for you iReporters out there. Expect these guys in Q2 (what were in right now). So see, there’s still plenty of bank for your buck for those who arent looking to spend a fortune in these times. For those who are, wait for this puppy cause it’s gonna be one monster.

It seems like Sony Ericsson has a new phone in development. Although there isnt much known about the new phone dubed as “Paris”,the rumors go that it’s a slider, runs Symbian UIQ 3.3 and has a pretty frackin huge screen. If this picture is also to be believed, it seems like its running a weather based widget, similaryly found on the iPhone or OS X.

Remember the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1? Its Still Coming Out This Year!

by Sohrab Osati | Mar 4, 2008 | 3 comments

There has been some speculation that Sony would not be able to meet their Q2 release date and that it would be pushed back till February 2009. But Sony Ericsson Corporate Vice President of the Global Communications Aldo Liguori would beg to differ. In fact, he goes on to state in his blog that “I can confirm that we will be launching the X1 product in 2nd Half of 2008, as per our announcement of 10th February.” Sounds good to me (although were still not sure who will carry it) although im assuming its AT&T.

Hit the jump for a recap of the phone and its features.
