Peekaboo! A Quick Look at the Upcoming Sony Ericsson K770i

If you are looking for the latest Cyber-shot mobile phone offering from Sony Ericsson, look no further as we bring you a small sneak peek of Sony Ericsson's upcoming star, the K770i right here at www.hardwarezone.com.

Appearing in three different colors, violet, white and brown, with each having its own distinct allure to suit different lifestyles, consumers can easily find a match to complement their fashion sense. For all you fashionistas out there, the phone is impressively slim and lightweight as well. At only 95 grams and 14.5 millimeters thick, this 3G mobile phone from Sony Ericsson is out to cater to all your shutterbug wants and mobility needs.

Holding it in our hands, it feels just right as it fits perfectly into our palms with its small footprint. In addition, the back casing is flushed with no protruding camera parts like the Sony Ericsson K800i, so it should fit into most pockets without being too obtrusive and bulky. For its size, the K770i manages to install a broad keypad design as well, which didn't hurt the fingers when too much pressure was applied, unlike the small buttons on the T650i.

We especially like the artistic change in Sony Ericsson's recent phones, which has successfully featured sleeker designs and bold looks. With the K770i, it seems Sony Ericsson may have another hit among consumers looking for a compact phone without too much compromise.

As a Cyber-shot mobile phone, the K770i packs a 3.2 megapixel camera in its sleek body, as well as autofocus capabilities and a built-in flash. It also comes with a decently sized 1.9 inch TFT display screen and also various illumination effects. One of the new functions that comes with the K770i is called 'Photo Fix' whereby users are able to edit, adjust and literally fix an image within the confines of the mobile phone without having to link it to a PC and have an external software do the job.

Talk time on the K770i is estimated by Sony Ericsson to be 10 hours on a GSM network and 2.5 hours on a 3G network while standby time can go up to 16 days.In addition to the announcement of the K770i into the market by Sony Ericsson, they have another notable release up their sleeves. This is the brand new white version of the W660i, which was recently featured here as well. The following image gives you a glimpse of the all white W660i.

Fusion of Design and Form Factor

You know that when Sony Ericsson decided to license the 'Walkman' name from Sony Corporation for a brand new and undisclosed mobile, something good was about to surface. That something was subsequently unveiled in the form of the W800i, Sony Ericsson's first camera phone that was purposefully designed as a lifestyle gadget with telecommunication capability. The W800i was put together in light of the popularization of MP3 players and a booming industry of online music stores. As more and more consumers take to the streets with hundreds, if not thousands of digital tracks in audio gadgets of different shapes and sizes, it became apparent that the lifestyle of modern day city dwellers is veering fast towards that of digital entertainment, even when they are on the go. Knowing the inconvenience brought about by an increase in gadget count for these users, the arrival of the W800i was very timely to say the least. Although it was not the first camera phone to boast of MP3 playback functionality, it was however the first camera phone to leverage on the Sony 'Walkman' branding and along with it, the first 'Walkman' camera phone featuring a dedicated MP3 media interface, controls and impressive audio quality; for a phone.

Two months on and the latest Sony Ericsson handset to be given a 'Walkman' makeover is the new W550i. There are many similarities between the two models, chief among which is the user-friendly MP3 playback interface, the signature orange theme, and a couple of carefully placed 'Walkman' logos to give it its distinct digital audio playback persona. As for form factor however, the W550i comes in a different twist, literally. Based on the now defunct S600i that drew its own principle design from Sony Ericsson's first swiveling handset, the S700i, there are two modes of operation available to the W550i. Before we delve further into the handset though, let us brief you on the technicalities of the new W550i 'Walkman' camera phone.

Introducing the Motorola MPx

Rolling the essence of different products into one stylish yet functional device is barely revolutionary in a period of time where convergence is the buzzword that's most commonly used. Though clich�, convergence is an indispensable route of progression and has set in motion the birth of numerous products citing convenience and a better lifestyle as bywords that coincidentally are commonly used catch phrases for marketing collaterals as well. Consumer electronics is probably the biggest category where the most illustrious instances of convergence can be found.
