Sony Ericsson's K700i

Sony Ericsson's K700i 04/11/2005 09:57 AM
Sony Ericsson's K700i mobile phone offers "the latest in imaging, connectivity and entertainment into one easy-to-use handset" according to Sony Ericsson’s Product Marketing Manager Antal Keur. The phone is equipped with a large high-quality colour screen and is said to be "as much a phone as it is a camera." Outstanding features of the K700i include a VGA camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth wireless technology, FM radio, MP3 player, MPEG4 player and a crisp, bright, 1.8-inch 65k TFT colour (176 x 220 pixels) display. The phone features a camera equipped with a 4x digital zoom, and using Sony Ericsson's QuickShare technology, users can share pictures with a computer or other phones, using Bluetooth, email, MMS or a (not-included) USB cable. The K700i can also be used as a remote control for a computer using its built-in infrared, and it also supports Java and Mascot Capsule 3D graphics platform. With a brushed aluminium finish, the K700i is a sleek, stylish phone that anyone could be proud to pack. The rubber cover for the power port is also quite sleek, keeping the ports hidden, but quite difficult to flip (and keep) up. The menu is easy to navigate on this triple-band GSM/GPRS phone, and it supports MMS, allowing the user to compose messages with animations, video clips, pictures and sounds. The K700i is 3.9" x 1.8" x 0.8" (99 mm x 46.5 mm x 19.5 mm), weighs in at 93 grams and and has a standby time of up to 300 hours and talk time of up to 8 hours. The included headset has good sound, a shirt clip and an on/off button, but it is hard to plug in and unplug. The radio works well (and needs the headset to work as it is the antenna) and is a great addition to the phone. There are a few disadvantages to this phone. Starting off with the minor problems, people with large fingers might have trouble pressing the small buttons. Also, some users have complained about battery life of the phone stating that it has to be charged every day. Spymac didn't have this problem but the battery was brand new, though it did drain slightly faster than batteries in other phones tested. Now, for the more serious issues with the phone. When a picture is taken it looks great at the time on the display but the image that is stored is blurred and slightly different to the one previously displayed. The most serious issue is that the menu navigation is sometimes slow and there are often long pauses when navigating. The phone would sometimes stop for no reason, and then, when it recovered, it performed keypresses that occurred during the time it was paused, putting the user in the wrong place in the menu. This frustrating problem occurred at least half of the time that Spymac used the phone. (After thinking it was me and my inability to use this new phone's menu, I did some research and found that many other users had this same problem. One user compared the K700i to his old T610 stating "its like the difference between a tortoise and cheetah when it comes to speed.") The K700i is a nice little phone with great picture and graphics quality and crisp sound. Spymac would recommend this phone if it didn't have slow menu problems as it has crystal-clear sound and some really cool features. Sample picture Pros: MMS support Integrated FM radio Clear sound Cons: Slow menu No email expansion If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Problems with Sony Ericsson's P900?

Problems with Sony Ericsson's P900? 12/02/2003 01:23 AM
The Inquirer is reporting that some problems have arisen with Sony Ericssons' new P900 smartphone and that they're so bad that cellular carrier Orange has recalled the first shipments made in the UK. Of course, they don't specify what those problems might be, only that a "usually reliable source" had indicated that something was wrong. Read UPDATE: Sony Ericsson is denying that there is any problem, and The Inquirer is now admitting that their source could have "confused the P900 with the SX1" from Siemens, which still isn't out yet.

Sony-Ericsson's Linux-based ROB-1

Sony-Ericsson's Linux-based ROB-1 03/14/2005 06:03 PM
A LinuxDevices.com article describes the new Sony Ericsson ROB-1 robot which was announced last week. The robot is basically a small, teleoperated camera contained in an 11 cm spherical shell. The two hemispheres form main drive wheels and a small tail-dragger is used for balance. The robot uses a 200 MHz Freescale Dragonball processor with 2 MB of RAM and runs Linux. The robot can maintain a bluetooth link to a Sony-Erricsson P900/P910 mobile phone. The phone can control the robot and display streaming video from the onboard camera.

Product Placement And Video Games

Product Placement And Video Games 06/18/2004 02:32 PM
You really can't escape advertising any more. It's absolutely everywhere. While the concept isn't all that new, it appears that the new fascination is on how to advertise within video games ("this frag brought to you by..."). Already, of course, automak ers are huge fans of advertising in videogames. But, what's interesting about Viacom's announcement about their desire to advertise within video games is that it will convince many other companies they need to do the same thing. Of course, if the advertisers are paying for part of the game, shouldn't the games get cheaper for buyers?

Placement premiums

Placement premiums 02/01/2005 09:34 PM

I’ve noticed that when I ues my Tivo to skip through commercial breaks, the only advertising that I really see is the last few seconds of the final ad.

Changes in technology and consumer habits should be changing the business models of companies. As more people start using DVRs to skip through ads, how long will it take networks to start placing a premium on ads that run at the end of the break?

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are nothing new. Virgin, both in the UK and the US, has been quite successful creating their own mobile phone carrier, despite not having a network of their own, but simply handling the branding and management, while leaving all the technology issues to a network operator partner. So far, most MVNOs seem to be targeting the youth market (often with "pre-paid plans"), and considering just how lucrative that market seems these days, it's no surprise that plenty of others want into the market. However, operating the whole MVNO is probably a lot of work, so now we're getting to the point where you have virtual MVNOs (VMVNOs) who will do all the work for a company, and simply slap their brand on the final product. That seems to be what's happening with convenience store 7-Eleven, who has announced plans to sell pre-paid mobile phones and service under the "Speak Out" brand - though, all the work appears to be done by Ztar Mobile. Other retailers are quickly expected to follow. Wal-Mart is at the top of the list, with Costco and Home Depot also apparently considering their own mobile phone offerings. The idea is to target younger users, or those with bad credit histories, who can simply pick up a phone at the store, and use it until their minutes run out, at which point they can top it up again - back at the store, of course.

Brian Jepson reviews the Sony Ericsson EDGE card to the nth degree, including configuration advice and photos: This in-depth, multi-page review at Jiwire (our content partner) tells the results of Brian's real-world testing of EDGE service over AT&T Wireless's network in several cities, provides an explanation of how EDGE works (and why performance might vary), and is fully illustrated with screen captures and photos. Brian also provides the information you need to use the card with Mac OS X and Linux, which aren't directly supported by Sony Ericsson. A small download, a few code changes, recompile, and voila! You've got high-speed cell data on unsupported computers. While $80 a month may seem high for a consumer-level price, for business people who need ubiquitous data access, EDGE is really the fastest best option when it works. By January 2005, Verizon Wireless will have its 1xEvDO in potentially dozens of cities, while AT&T Wireless should have debuted UMTS in four or five towns....

Sony Ericsson A1402S II

Sony Ericsson A1402S II 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

Sony Ericsson has a new phone for Japan's au cellular service, dubbed the "A1402S II." It is, as expected, the successor to the "A1402S." It's a somewhat underwhelming phone, though, so it better be cheap; prices are not yet announced. Although it does of course have the Japanese standard (no jealous; stand proud, America) QVGA (240 x 320) resolution on a 2.3-inch display, the camera is a mere 0.34MP (so take some heart in that failing). A cameraless version of the phone will also be available.

So fine, but why do they get all the pink phones? I clack my claws down each link of my chitinous sensor braids in protest.

It's not likely we'll see it over our way, but Japanese carrier has a new Sony Ericsson handset, the A1402S (perhaps that name has a little more zing in Japanese). It looks like fairly standard fare, though, so no need to shed those big crocodile tears like we normally do when Japan gets a new phone with an 80-megapixel videocamera that cleans your teeth and punches your grandma all at once. PhoneMag has a few details, such as they are. One notable thing, though, is that the A1402S comes with a pretty big selection of swappable faceplates. Not groundbreaking, but it makes for a nice picture, at least.

Three versions will be released with differing GSM bands to operate in various markets worldwide, as well five different integrated keyboard variants to make thumb typing in different languages easier. In addition, the P910 now has expanded memory (64MB, up from 16MB) and supports Sony's Memory Stick Duo Pro in sizes up to 1GB. The screen has also been bumped from a 65K color screen to a 262K color version.

The Register's Andrew Orlowski reviews the Sony Ericsson K700i and comes away almost totally impressed, with the exception of a horrendous battery life that makes this moderately-powered, fine-screened handset a once-a-day charger. Other than that, though, it's aces. The FM radio works well, the screen is gorgeous, and the K700i's limited web browsing ability is zippy and painless. Well, it's camera is a little lackluster, I guess (it's still just a VGA-quality sensor, despite any claptrap from Sony Ericsson otherwise), but all in all it looks like a solid phone for someone who doesn't mind the daily recharge.
