When you’re a famous phone maker like Sony Ericsson, it becomes a little tough to keep your newest products under wraps. The new kid on the block is the F305 motion gaming phone, which features a built-in accelerometer for motion sensing games.
Other notable features include a 176 x 220 resolution, a Memory Stick Micro slot, and a specially designed directional pad and two face buttons specially located for gaming purposes. While we’re pretty sure that its not going to be the rumoured Playstation Portable Phone, it certainly can’t fare any worse than the Nokia N-gage can it? The button layout certainly lends itself to ergonomic gaming, and we could be looking at some NES/Gameboy Color emulators in the very near future. After all, who could say no to some portable Contra on the go?

Although USB HSPA/3G modems are commonly available these days, but it’d be nice if your laptop had come with one integrated, which you don’t have to spend extra bucks just to get one. And it always sticks on your laptop, which forgetting to bring one along is not a problem anymore while you’re traveling.
The Swedish mobile company Ericsson has announced that they’ll supply HSPA/GPS modules for new Dell laptops, starting in Q2 2008. The module does both HSPA (High-speed Packet Access) and GPS, which ensures you that you’re always able to get hooked up to high-speed 3G Internet and to find your direction home, while you’re on the road.
The Ericsson’s HSPA/GPS module allows a top speed of 14.4Mbps data download in theory. But with the current deployments of all the 3G networks across the world, it can reach at least 7.2Mbps. Ericsson says that there are about 185 commercial networks around the world can reach the mentioned 7.2Mbps download speed.
The pricing details for this HSPA/GPS module is not yet announced. But it’s not the first time that Ericsson has done this kind of HSPA/GPS module for laptops. They’ve closed a deal with Lenovo back in February for integrating mobile broadband and GPS module into Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. Ericsson expects that by 2011, there would be about 200 million laptops sold each year and with at least half of them would come with the HSPA broadband module integrated.

Alicia definitely sounds like the name of a hot upcoming super model. But in fact, it’s the code name of the hot super model cellphone from Sony Ericsson. What is so cool about this new cellphone from SE?
The Sony Ericsson Alicia mobile phone comes in an elegantly dark frame, which many claim it has close resemblance to its sibling, W890. The Alicia carries two displays, which I believe one is on the external meant for quick check of couple of things, and the other one is the main screen on the internal. Alicia also allows you to keep yourself updated with the weather forecast, if the plan you’re subscribed to, allows you to do so.
Alicia shares quite a number of common features of its sibling, W890. The Alicia cellphone will come 8GB internal flash memory, stereo speakers that is equipped with FM tuner and transmitter that lets you play music through stereos and phones. The package also comes with high-performance ear-bud phones and also audio enhancing software to ensure you to enjoy the best music delivered by this phone.
The Alicia cellphone carries a quadband GSM radio which the Internet connectivity supports up to EDGE only. This is a little disappointment, which it doesn’t come with 3G or HSPA support. Some other non-music common features shared by Alicia with the W890 including a 3.2 megapixel camera, and the 240X 320 LCD display etc.
Sony Ericsson also pushes Alicia into the market on June 17th, which it’ll face the strong competition from the SE C905 Shiho, which is also gonna be released on the same date.

Sony Ericsson has got a new cellphone in its walkman phone line, the W595. It’s guessed to be a walkman phone is because of its name is pretty close to some SE predecessors, such as the W580, which is also a walkman phone.
The W595 cellphone sports a slim classic SE slider form factor, which manages to pack couple of goodies such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, FM RDS tuner, Google Maps and an accelerometer. The phone has also been speculated as it’s only an upgrade of the W580 walkman phone.The W595 has a code name called Linda too. The phone is pretty thin, which measures only 14mm in thickness, which should be pretty comfortable in your hands while scrolling through lengthy music playlists.
The W590 also allows shake control, which is kind hot in SE walkman phones these days for operating your music. This phone still lacks of official info, which is hoped to come soon.

Sony Ericsson G series are made to help busy city dwellers to organize their daily life better. The G series are built with convenient organizer and Internet access, which is what a busy city geek needs for getting his life in pace.
The flagship phone of the G series is the Sony Ericsson G900 and it’s been given a review by PhoneArena despite the phone still has some bugs and problems with its firmware and hardware. The SE G900 is based on the Symbian UIQ without making it too hard to use. It offers intuitive work and the OS gives it a better organizing options.
The G900 is similar to the earlier model, G700, in the G line, which is also equipped with a touchscreen which allows you to write or draw notes on. The SE G900 comes with a high-res camera of 5 megapixel and supports WiFi, which seems to imitate the latest digital camera technologies that allow you to shoot quality photos, upload and share it on the Internet.
The package includes great accessories such as handsfree, charger, data cable, additional stylus, software CD, and manual etc. The SE G900 boasts a super slim body which measures only 0.5 inch for its slimness. Some more it’s super lightweight, making it pretty easy to be carried around in a pocket. The touchscreen is 2.4 inch wide and has a resolution of 240×320 pixels. The color it offers seems pale but it’s still kind of usable even under direct sunlight. The touch sensitivity is great but the touch feedback is only available in sound but no vibration, which isn’t convenient when used under noisy environment.
It comes with a pretty short stylus, but it seems giving no much problem as the touchscreen of this cellphone is meant more for inputting text via handwriting recognition, and not for navigation. You’ll get navigational buttons are under the touchscreen, surrounding the 5-way D-pad and are used for going back, delete and shortcuts to the functions important for the model – writing of notes and message.
