Possible Sony Ericsson announcement coming Nov 6th
According to the rumors floating around the Sony Ericsson blogs, a Sony Ericsson announcement is planned for Thursday November 6th. The highlight of the announcement is to be the formal launch of the Rika as the Walkman W705 – the Walkman version of the G705 which sports the following specs:
- 2.4″display (320×240)
- 3.2MP non-AF camera with LED flash
- Wi-Fi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP)
- 4 Gb M2 and HPM-77
- Clear Audio Experience (similar to the W902/W980)
- YouTube application
- Chat view for messaging
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- Available in Passionate Red and Luxury Silver
An Orange-branded version of the W705 is also expected to be confirmed. In addition to the Rika/W705, Sony Ericsson is expected to announce the MBS-900, a high end portable wireless speaker. The MBS-900 is a 2.1 wireless speaker that has Bluetooth, touch controls and an OLED display. A somewhat disappointing lineup for the final announcement of 2008 but considering the state of the global economy, a slowdown in handset releases is not entirely surprising.
smh ………. what the hell is going on with the xperia u.s. carrier release? they needed to be putting some effort in to that……
@mu$h da great
Word.
I am a big SE fan, but I have almost completely forgot they even exist.
They must be selling phones in other countries.
Is it that hard to get a competitive phone to market?
the US market is not worth it for many companies. Nokia & HTC have been quoted as saying that its not worth it.
3.5mm jack on an SE phone!?
No word on the Xperia X1 figured…I really want an X1 over the G1 :/ oh well guess that’s not happening till next year *sighs*
What happened to se and tmos supposed snuggling? When are we gonna see more se handsets in magentas lineup?
this time they promise no keys cracking in half.
