Combined with the X8, it’s clear that Sony Ericsson is getting comfortable with the small-screen form factor, and there’s an undeniable charm there. Adapting the user interface and hardware to still be usable at that size obviously takes some work, but based on my time with the X10 Mini Pro’s keyboard, it seems like an altogether surmountable challenge.

Sony Ericsson W150 leaked

The unconfirmed features of Sony Ericsson W150i include a 2.6 inch QVGA display, 5MP camera, and changeable covers. The phone could be introduced this month, and, judging by the attention the X10 Mini receives, its launch may prove to be a fortunate event for Sony Ericsson (which, by the way, has two other Android handsets in the making)

The guy who posted this photo says the phone is named Sony Ericsson W150i, and its codename is TeaCake. Reportedly, the handset currently runs Android 1.5.
                     According to GsmArena, the Sony Ericsson W150 is an entry level touch model, a first for Sony Ericsson. It doesn't have 3G connectivity or Wi-Fi and it's only got dual-band GSM/EDGE support. There's a 2 megapixel camera on the back. Contrary to what it seemed earlier, the device doesn't run on Android but sports some other type of touch UI.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz runs on the Symbian S60 platform and packs a 8 megapixel autofocus camera capable of recording 720p video. The 3.2" display sports a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels and is capable of showing up to 16M colors. The CPU inside clocks at 720 MHz ( the Satio has a 600 MHz processor).

Sony Ericsson's UXP Interface - X10, X10 Mini, X10

For its Xperia X10 smartphones, Sony Ericsson designed a new user interface from scratch. Called the User Experience Platform or UXP, it sits on top of the Android operating system on the Xperia X10, X10 Mini, and X10 Mini Pro smartphones.

Here are a few shots of how the UXP interface actually looks on the X10 mini pro.SE has done a fantastic job shrinking it for the smaller Xperia devices.

X10 Mini supports multi-touch

After a month long debate finally being rested, with Sony Ericsson reconfirming that multi-touch indeed is not supported on the Xperia X10, it seems the action has now shifted to another device, the X10 mini.

After a research done by se-blog . They have managed to contact Synaptics, who are a supplier of touchscreen technologies and learned that the X10 mini sports a ClearPad 2000 solution, which means it supports dual touch, which is the basic form of multi-touch. It may not be available out of the box due to the device launching with Android 1.6 onboard, but it’ll certainly be enabled once the Android OS is updated.

Strangely, Synaptics is the supplier for only the X10 mini and not the X10 mini pro. Is it because Sony Ericsson thought that the mini would be crippled due to the lack of a physical keyboard and hence opted for the technology to provide a better experience? No idea. Sony Ericsson do have a knack of taking strange decisions, this one being another addition to the list.

Nokia X2

Taking more than a little inspiration from its bigger brothers the Nokia X3 and the Nokia X6, the candybar X2 offers a 2.2-inch QVGA screen and measures in at just 13mm thin and 81g light.

The Nokia X2 also packs dual speakers, dedicated music keys, FM stereo and support for up to 16GB of storage via microSD card make for a nifty mobile music device.

Bluetooth 2.1 is supported for wireless music enjoyment whilst hardcore music fans can opt for the 3.5mm headphone jack. Full speed USB 2.0 makes music transfer quick and easy and music can be managed via the Ovi Player PC client or Windows Media Player 11.

It’s not just a musical maestro, the X2 also offers direct access to Facebook from the homescreen and comes with Nokia Messaging goodness for email and Instant Messaging. Other notable feature include instant access to apps from Ovi Store, a five-megapixel camera and a video recorder.

First video sample out of the new Nokia N8

It is finally official. Due to hit “select markets” in Q3 of this year for 370 EUR ($495), it’s the first Symbian^3 handset from Nokia, and the first to feature a 12 megapixel camera plus 720p video shooting, but sadly at 25 fps, not 30 fps. The camera is something we’re eager to test out since Nokia say it has a “large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras”. The N8 will also have built in software that allows users to edit their HD videos. Additional features, again things we’ve known about for a while now: Dolby Digital Plus, multi touch, flick scrolling, and pinch to zoom.

Here is the first video to come out a N8 , shot in 720p at a frame rate of 24fps.

The X10 Saga: Episode VI The Return of Multi-Touch

The ‘does it/doesn’t it?’ Sony Ericsson xperia X10 multi-touch saga has apparently taken yet another twist if a video posted on a Japanese site is anything to go by. The video shows a user using Google Maps on his X10 and to zoom into the map he uses a multi-touch gesture. The video is below, you can skip pretty much all of it, the interesting part is 6:50 into the video, right at the end. Now maybe I am seeing things (it is after all ten past four in the morning here), but that sure as hell looks like multi-touch. If that is the case then it would seem to reinforce the rumour that cropped up the other day on mobiles.co.uk that the X10 did support multi-touch after all. There are two other possibilities though: i) it isn’t multi-touch at all, but something else (what though?) or ii) it is multi-touch, but only some X10s support it. Personally neither of those seem particularly plausible.

Dell Thunder its next-gen Android handset leaked

Dell’s initial handset the Mini 3i was super sleek but seems like it was destined for just the far-east markets and it slowly moved westward. After probably realizing that this was not a good plan since the world’s Android craving is increasing, Dell is now gearing up to announce the Dell Thunder, their second Android smartphone. The Thunder is a high-end device that features a 4.1-inch touchscreen display (OLED, 800x480 pixels). The leaked details seem to talk about vague features like creating and editing high-quality content. I think this could mean capturing media on the built-in 8MP camera (presumably that’s able to capture data in HD) and allowing users to edit the same on the handset. Also mentioned was something called ‘curved glass’ which could pertain to the display or the body structure like Sony Ericsson’s Human Curvature design form. The new-age virtual keyboard called Swype will also be incorporated. 3G and Wi-Fi will also be available for speedy social networking.
