07 Feb 10 Sony Ericsson Aspen in video
We already mentioned that the Sony Ericsson Aspen would be the first mobile phone featuring Windows Mobile 6.5.3, but we haven’t provided a video of the device in action.
In case you forgot this smartphone boasts a QWERTY keyboard as well as a touchscreen. These two features plus the fact of being the first smartphone with that specific Windows Mobile version… will most likely make it a hit.

04 Feb 10 Xperia X10 coming to Vodafone UK
We’ve already heard that Xperia X10 is coming to NTT DoCoMo, and you should know that the X10 is coming to the UK via Vodafone.
We already know that is Sony Ericsson’s Android phone, but other details about this phone are sketchy, like price and release date. I’m not certain if they are going to change the name of the phone, like they did in Japan and just call it the smartphone Xperia.

07 Dec 09 Nokia Transparent Phone Concept
The phone in the picture here is only a concept phone but it’s definitely worth checking out. Designed by Juan Carlos Garzon, the phone features a translucent display which will offer you a unique mobile experience.

Maybe a smartphone with a touchscreen transparent display is just around the corner.

01 Dec 09 Sony Ericsson Satio Gets New Firmware
Remember those Satio issues we told you about last week? Well it looks like Sony Ericsson has a firmware fix for them and the Satio should be available for sale again in the very near future. Sony Ericsson acknowledged the fact that the Satio’s power-down problem can’t be fixed over the air and a new firmware is definitely needed. On the other hand the Aino is still being sold in SonyStyle stores in the USA so you could simply get that one in case the Satio doesn’t become available very soon. In case you do have a Satio at home, tell us how the whole upgrade went. Is the phone playing nice again?
