The Best in Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones

April 9th, 2010



Most of us are familiar with Sony Ericsson mobile phones either from personal use or online information Sony Ericsson is a huge manufacturer of mobile phones and has a good bit of the UK market. While other manufacturers are looking to improve their camera phones, Sony Ericsson has an entire line of music phones. The “W” series (formerly the “K” series) has a variety of capabilities and most of the Walkman phones have storage capabilities of 500 full length songs or more with expansion memory cards available to add more memory.

One problem with the Walkman mobile phones is that in most of them the camera has poor to mediocre clarity. The emphasis is on the music rather than the phone with some customers questioning why they cannot have a high quality music and camera phone within the same mobile phone. It appears Sony Ericsson is forcing its customers to choose high quality music or a high quality camera instead of providing both in the same mobile phone.

In spite of its lack of marketability for a high quality camera and music phone, Sony Ericsson maintains a high position in the UK mobile phone market. Most customers make the choice between either the camera or the music and live with their decision. They become lackadaisical and accept they are not going to have both sharp pictures and great music quality on the same mobile phone.

On the other hand, Sony Ericsson has a good reputation for quality mobile phones in the areas for which they were intended. Sony Ericsson mobile phones provide service that is equal to models that are higher priced, so you are always getting more for your money when you buy a Sony Ericsson mobile phone. You may remember when AT&T began giving the Ericsson phones away with its tariffs in the early part of the 21st century. They were the first flip phones that gained any momentum, but they were bulky little things that were difficult to read and even more difficult to operate. The merger with Sony created a new line of mobile phones that were easier to operate and came with a music player.

Many people tend to look at the Sony Ericsson mobile phones solely because of their music capabilities-using the phone is secondary to having good music when on the road or outside in the yard. Although the phones’ sound quality for telecommunications is equivalent to other manufacturers’, it would be a mistake to choose a mobile phone based on nothing more than belief in the name. You must look at the name and read reviews of others who have owned the mobile phone you wish to purchase.

Sony Ericsson has an abundance of mobile phones to fit anyone’s needs and desires. Whether you want a camera phone, a music phone or just a mobile phone in order to maintain communication with family and friends, Sony Ericsson has it for you at a price you can afford.

Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones – The Evolution Continues

March 23rd, 2010



Sony Ericsson have consistently held their place within the top 5 mobile phone manufacturers for over 10 years, this is in no small part due to the vast range of new handsets that the manufacturer releases on an almost weekly basis.

It does not seem that long ago when a Sony Ericsson mobile phone would conjure up images of square, brick shaped devices with a massive antenna poking out of the top of them, having said that these were still far smaller and feature rich than their competitors’ offerings, which were sometimes better at holding the door ajar than making wireless phone calls.

The merger between Sony and Ericsson took place 5 years ago and the combination of these two very capable manufacturers has produced some of the most sophisticated and functional mobile devices ever to grace the mobile market.

Sony Ericsson have catered for every users requirements, from the technofobes who shy away from new fandangled technology but realise they do have a need for a mobile phone if just for emergency situations right through to the gadget hungry, self proclaimed ‘geeks’ who relish the fact that they can own a the latest and most feature rich handsets.

At the bottom of Sony Ericsson’s portfolio where the handsets are simply for making and receiving calls and text messages there are the budget range. These include models such as the Sony Ericsson J100i and J230i.
These handsets are easy to use and do not include high-end features such as cameras, mp3 players and email support, they are simply there to make calling and texting a no hassle task. Because of the lack of these power draining applications these phones hold some of the longest battery lives of the Sony Ericsson range, ideal for people who literally just take their mobile phone with them in case of emergency.

Moving up the scale the next range of handsets encountered are the K-Series, these range from low specification, budget models with simple VGA cameras right through to 3.2 megapixel camera phones. This range is easily recognisable for its candy-bar design, there are no flips, clamshells or slider models, they are simply incased units with the display screen on the front of the phone with the keypad situated underneath and a camera lens on the back.
The low end of the K-Series offers models such as the K310i, a simple camera phone offering Bluetooth, Mp3 Player and 3D gaming. This model is small and light and not over fussy on design, ideal for users looking for a camera phone on a budget.
The mid range of K-Series features more technologically advanced models such as the Sony Ericsson K610i, a 3G enabled phone with a 2.0 megapixel camera and support for face to face video calling, this particular model is a great entry phone into the world of fast download speeds and mobile video that is 3G.
At the top of the K-series range there is the Sony Ericsson K810i, this device takes the camera to a high quality 3.2 megapixels with cybershot technology allowing for autofocus, zoom and flash. Other K810i features are Bluetooth, MP3 Player, FM Radio and 3G support.

The top of the range Sony Ericsson models and probably the most known of all of their phones are the W-series Walkman devices, this is where Sony really has their input of years of manufacturing Sony Walkman products such as portable CD players and MP3 players.
These are music orientated mobile phones, starting with the W300i that is a low budget, flip phone offering Walkman applications for uploading music tracks from a PC and creating playlists, finishing with the Sony Ericsson W880i, a slim and stylish music phone featuring a 2.0 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and 3G support, it is at the very top of the W-series and a gadget hunters dream device.

As Sony Ericsson move into the future they are already giving consumers a taste of what is to come, expect more and more megapixels from the cameras, new versions of the Walkman software for even more user defined options and new technologies for helping professionals in their businesses lives.

The mobile device is set to take over from standalone products such as cameras and MP3 players, in the future consumers should only need to leave the house with just one item to communicate, capture and amuse themselves and Sony Ericsson are certainly heading in the right direction to fulfill that dream.
