JavaOne Phone Strikes Again, Sony Ericsson Goes Android

30/04/2009 01:04 par slaytane

Razec from Esato has got another version of the JavaOne Phone for us, as promised, but this one’s Android flavoured. Looking hot? Oh yes it does, but don’t forget to check out the UIQ version as well. Sign me up for those Barcode Scanner and Talking Compass apps, as they look quite promising!
After quite a long silence, Esato board user Razec introduces the Sony Ericsson JavaOne Phone with UIQ on it. There’s also a promise of an Android UI version of it, from the designer.
Update: Here’s the video showing the JavaOne handset in action (thanks Razec):

Sony La Croix, Best PSP Phone Ever

30/04/2009 01:02 par slaytane

I’ve seen the PSP Phone more times than I’ve seen my own handset, but sadly only surfacing as a concept. Well, the Sony La Croix blends the gaming functions of the PSP with those of a cellphone and doesn’t call itself a PSP Phone, maybe as a superstition.

Nate Ribbens is the designer of the device that has two modes: a business one and the mode for “youthful gamers”. La Croix features a touchscreen and support for video playback, but sadly when it comes to games it only shows oldies like Tetris or Space Invaders.

Hope it’ll be able to play more complex games, since it has those neat gaming controls and great display.

After tob!s from Esato killed us the other day with the beautiful XPERIA X5 concept, he’s ready to do it again, with the aid of a Sony Ericsson Alicia concept. Here’s the W707, in its electronic flesh, not really a concept but rather a prototype of the device with some Photoshop magic on it.

Xperia X5 Concept Design, an iPhone Clone

I’ve seen my share of Xperia concept phones, specially that last one designed by Tigershark42 from Esato, but this one adds a breath of fresh air to the core of the device. I’m talking about the Xperia X5, tob!s’ full touchscreen phone that looks pretty neat actually, although it borrows a couple of design traits from the Apple iPhone.
The Xperia X5 comes with an 8 megapixels camera with autofocus and a Xenon flash, plus 8 gigs of internal memory and the usual WiFi, GPS and UMTS support. Its display is a 3.2″ inch screen and the specs list ends with an M2 slot. One good Photoshop work, I’ll give you that and let all nay-sayers criticize this, as any iPhone clone branded Xperia is good enough for my standards.

Sony Ericsson Hikaru (Hicaru) Rendition, Nicer Than the Leaked Pic?

You might call it Sony Ericsson Hicaru or Hikaru, but one thing is for sure: the device looks awesome and it might just bring that SE Paris back to life. Last time, we’ve shown you a leaked pic of the device and now we’ll one-up the stakes by having a look at the Hikaru concept phone designed by pavlov’s_dog from the Esato board.

As the designer says, the handset’s design philosophy takes its inspiration from Sony Ericsson P990.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Incorporates a PSP and What Not

28/04/2009 00:15 par slaytane

The XPERIA X10 concept phone was created by Esato forum user Tigershark42 and is pretty much the dream of every geek out there. It’s a hybrid between a PSP console and the already famous Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, using 3 slide modes and running UIQ.

First comes the classical top-bottom slide, than the slide of the top part to the left in order to reveal a landscape QWERTY keyboard and finally there’s the right slide that gives the user access to PSP-like gaming controls. The phone also uses an arc-slider mechanism that improves the viewing angle and comes with a stylus.

In case you were wondering about the specs of the XPERIA X10 here they are: 3″ VGA or WVGA touchscreen, quadband GSM, WLAN b/g, HSDPA/HSUPA, aGPS, accelerometer, a 5.0 megapixels camera (with Xenon flash), a QWERTY keyboard, a VGA camera upfront and 8 gigs of internal memory.

That’s not all, as the handset also includes an M2 slot, uses Opera 9.5 for browsing, Flash Lite 3 and gaming functionality.

The W988 Concept Phone, an Uber-Upgraded Sony Ericsson W980

After seeing the latest Sony Ericsson concepts coming straight from Esato, it’s time to make the pair a trio with the aid of this W988 handset. The beautiful device was created by NightBlade and it’s basically an upgraded version of the W980 Walkman phone.

W988 comes with Walkman On Top, an internal 2.4″ QVGA screen, an external OLED display and a 5 megapixels camera with PhotoFlash and autofocus. Also, the device features 8 GB of internal memory plus an M2 slot, GPS and WiFi. The rest of the specs are the same as on the original W980 handset, but the look of the phone is worth more than its features, if you ask me.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X902 Concept Features an 8.1 Megapixels Camera

Recipe of the day: the XPERIAshot burger. Take half a pound of XPERIA looks, add an 8.1 megapixels camera taken from the best Cyber-shot handset you can imagine and finish the product by adding new buttons on the device’s front side.

The result? Razec’s incredible concept, shown on Esato, the Sony Ericsson X902, or the XPERIA that got a brand new camera.

Welcome to the high-end side of the mid-range SE phones! Sunils120 from Esato has a beautiful concept for us, the S602, that you can check out in the picture below. We’re dealing with a handset that comes with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera (with geotagging and face detection) plus a Walkman 3.0 Media Player with Megabass.

The S602 features a 2.0 GB internal memory, plus the possibility of expanding it to 8.0 GB with the aid of an M2 Memory Stick. On the connectivity side we find the HSDPA (3.6 Mbps), EDGE, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 support, while the specs list also includes Sense Me, a pedometer, accelerometer and GPS.

Last, but not least we must mention the display of the phone, a 2.2″ QVGA TFD with 16 million colors.
