One of the market leader of mobile phones, Sony Ericsson has announced the launch of its new C903 Cyber-shot phone. It’s the slim and stylish slider phone which sports a five megapixel camera
and unique sliding lens cover, just as what you see in the photo. Read more…

Are you ready to forget the Xperia X1? Probably not, but listen up here: Sony Ericsson is getting ready to release a new touchscreen handset that will bring 8GB of internal memory and an 8 Megapixel camera.

This handset’s codename is Sony Ericsson Hikaru and, according to the SEMC Blog, it will be the next high-end slider of the Swedish-Japanese manufacturer.

For the moment, it’s not clear where Hikaru will fit into Sony Ericsson’s range of products. Will it be a Walkman, a Cyber-shot, or perhaps a G-series? Who knows?

Also, it’s not clear if it will have an alphanumeric or a QWERTY keyboard, but I guess any of these two would be nice to have, together with the phone’s supposedly large touchscreen display.

Since there’s no image with the real Sony Ericsson Hikaru, I’ve played around a bit and made a mockup of it, based on SE’s W960 model. Here it is:

The official Hikaru most probably doesn’t look like this. Let’s hope it will actually look better.

Apart from Hikaru, a Sony Ericsson Twiggy is also said to come next year. It will be the successor of W350, thus it’s a Walkman phone.

Sony Ericsson Twiggy will have a 240 x 320 pixels display, a 3 MP camera and two color versions. It should be on sale starting the second quarter of 2009. No image with it yet.

Sony Ericsson, one of the major marques or brand names in the worldwide mobile handset industry, introduced its innovative gaming handset ‘F305’ in India. It has also come to the knowledge that Sony Ericsson joined hands with Zapak.com and Microsoft XBOX 360 to observe February 12 as the ‘World Gaming Day.’ Well, introductions of modern handsets is a part of the company’s tradition since the mission of Sony Ericsson is to establish itself as the most attractive and innovative global brand in the mobile handset industry. The gaming handset ‘F305’ is priced at Rs. 8,995 and is learnt to include the motion sensor technology.

Speaking on this Sudhin Mathur, the General Manager of Sony Ericsson told the press and media, “We would launch more gaming handsets as the number of gamers in the country is growing. The handset has three pre-loaded motion games along with 50 additional games and is equipped with a two-megapixel camera. We already have Walkman and Cybershot range for the music and imaging segment, respectively.” In addition, as has been found, the company is also making an extensive plan to launch its download service ‘PlayNow.’

While talking on this approach, the General Manager of Sony Ericsson said, “PlayNow is our service offering to the end consumers. We will shortly launch in India and announce various initiatives on it like content and downloads,” he added.

Sony Ericsson happens to be a joint venture that was established on October 3, 2001 by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to make mobile phones. The avowed reason for this venture is to combine Sony’s consumer electronics proficiency with Ericsson’s technological leadership in the communications sector. It should be remembered that both companies have stopped making their own mobile phones.

The global management of the company is based in Hammersmith, London, and it has research & development teams in Sweden, Japan, China, Germany, the United States, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
