New Sony Ericsson Xperia model code named Pepper, gets blurry treatment on camera
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
The Sony Ericsson joint venture will soon be over, but the combo is still pulling models out of their hat for now. A new Sony Ericsson Xperia model code named Pepper appeared on the Xperia Blog with a model number of MT27i. Said to be the successor to the Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, this new model offers a 3.7 inch display with resolution of 480 x 854. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, possibly the ST-Ericsson NoveThor U8500 chipset. The device will have a 5MP camera which captures video at 720p, and a front-facing camera. A 1320mAh battery is expected to be powering the device.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc successor teased for CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia arc
Sony Ericsson has just posted pictures of what appears to be a successor to the Xperia Arc. An update on Facebook shows a camera key very similar to the Arc's, a squared-off Micro-HDMI port, an HD camera, and an Android icon. No details were given, but a caption reads "just a few more days until we can reveal some interesting news," hinting that we'll be seeing the phone at CES.
Currently, two phones might meet the bill for this teaser. The first, the 4.3-inch Nozomi or LT26i, was leaked in November, with more information coming to light last month. A close look at one of the leaked Nozomi photos shows it with a covered HDMI port, however, and the camera key doesn't look like the one above. ...

CyanogenMod 7 nightly builds come for AT&T's LG Thrill, the Sony Ericsson Xperia active and Xperia pro
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGSony EricssonAT&TXperia proThrill 4GXperia active
CyanogenMod nightlies have appeared for AT&T's LG Thrill 4G, as well as the Sony Ericsson Xperia active and Xperia Pro handsets.
The mods, which are intended to test features and iron out bugs, are based on the current CM7 edition, not the Ice Cream Sandwich-laden CM9, which is still in the labs, but you'll still get the purified, functional CyanogenMod experience.
Since these nightlies are a necessary step on the way to stable releases, your LG Thrill 4G and the two Xperias should be in the list of supported devices soon, and hopefully you will see CyanogenMod 9 gracing the screen too afterwards, if you love playing around with your Android phone's capabilities. And what CyanogenMod user d...

OnLive heads to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia PLAY
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play may have debuted to lukewarm reviews in 2011, but game streaming king OnLive has given it a reprieve by making its service available on the smartphone.
OnLive has managed to show the world that cloud gaming can actually work – especially on the big screen, where all you have to do is plug in its receiver to stream content.
Its launch on handheld devices earlier this month, however, was a harder sell. Yes you play premium games on a tablet but you have to use either fiddly virtual controls or and external joypad, which is decent but not perfect when your screen is no bigger than 10 inches.
Enter the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, the only smartphone around with analo...

Sony Ericsson reserves Xperia Ion name; could be for the LT28at flagship model
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony Ericsson
We recently reported on a possible flagship model for Sony Ericsson that appeared on the Bluetooth SIG site. With a 4.55 inch Reality display weighing in at 720p, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 13MP camera, this device promises to raise the bar in the Android world. The one thing about the phone that definitely needs to be changed is the code name LT28at that the unit has been branded with at the moment. We would imagine that a name change is coming since LT28at doesn't exactly roll off your tongue.
Actually, when Sony Ericsson starts its special presentation at the upcoming CES on January 9th, we might see this model rolled out as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion. The joint venture filed fo...

Sony Ericsson crowd-sourcing ICS preview ROMs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleAndroid 4.0
This is one of the coolest stories we've come across in a while. Sony Ericsson is really taking the update to Android 4.0 seriously by releasing alpha builds for certain phones and even asking for community help in the process.
Sony Ericsson has released alpha builds of Android 4.0 for the Xperia Ray, Xperia Arc S, and Xperia Neo V handsets. This is well ahead of the scheduled release of the updates, but SE has a really cool plan here. While these ROMs are not intended for casual users or daily use, SE is pushing for users to use the xda forums to talk about the builds and help SE to build the ROMs better, and more quickly. This is a great gesture of openness that we're hoping catches on wit...

Sony Ericsson teams up with Box, offers 50GB of cloud storage to users
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson may be a few weeks late with its official announcement, but that doesn't detract from how nice of an offer it has for Xperia smartphone customers. Starting today, Xperia owners will get 50GB of free file storage from Box by simply logging into their Box account from their Sony Ericsson smartphone.
Box has partnered with other companies, including HP, RIM, and LG, to make the same offer to their users. The 50GB of cloud storage can be used to store documents, music files, video files, and more. Box says that the 50GB equates to about 50,000 documents, photos, and presentations. Users can access their Box account wherever they have an internet connection.

Xperia Play now has 200 games available to download, some are free for the holidays
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia PLAY
When the Xperia Play smartphone / gaming console hybrid launched in March, there were 60 games available for download; eight months later, Sony Ericsson has reached 200 games optimized for the device. We're glad to see the company's stayed devoted to the product and platform, but the 200 number might be a bit misleading — it includes a number of standard Android games that have been only slightly adapted for Sony Ericsson's device, and the number of Xperia Play-exclusive games is still quite small, though it includes good games like FIFA 12 and Dead Space. The company's made some strides toward getting PlayStation games onto the device, but those strides have been few and far between.

Sony Ericsson explains Ice Cream Sandwich update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleAndroid 4.0
Surprisingly close to when Motorola did it, Sony Ericsson laid out the process for updating its phones to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Basically, it’s going to take a while for Android 4.0 to land on Sony Ericsson’s phones but that doesn’t mean it isn’t working hard on it.
The company had previously said that 2011 Xperia devices like the Arc will definitely get the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade. It is very transparent about the process of getting this software on its devices, as this involves taking the open source version, adapting it to their custom user interface, testing it internally, getting it approved by carriers around the world, testing some more and then sending it out. In particu...

Sony Ericsson to become Sony in mid-2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony Ericsson
Sony and Ericsson's decade-long partnership may have humbled Kim Kardashian, but dwindling market share and an over-reliance on feature phones signaled the end of the affair. Ericsson will have until "mid 2012" to clear its things from the spare room before the electronics giant begins a new solo venture. The revitalized enterprise will leverage its parent company's brand strength, R&D and content (since it owns a massive chunk of the entertainment industry) and in comments made to Times of India, company Vice President Kristian Tear said there would be a "fierce" advertising push to restore the company's reputation as a major player worldwide -- before taking a Pilates class to try and fit ...

Alleged Sony Ericsson Nozomi official render leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia S
From the confines of Chinese forums we found this little excerpt from what is claimed to be an official picture of the Sony Ericsson Nozomi. The side render coincides with what we've seen leaked in flesh and blood in the wild before, and confirms the phone is coming in white.
Granted, the image is very small, and the technical specifications are cut out, but you can still see the word "Dual" which would confirm once again that we might be having the first mutlicore Android handset from the company in the face of the Sony Ericsson Nozomi. Another proof is the 1920x1xxx line under the camera section, which would imply 1080p HD video capture that we usually associate with dual-core handsets.
