People have been expecting Sony Ericsson to launch something similar to a PSP Phone for a while, but the rumors were always brought down, much to some fans’ disappointment. But today, another rumor comes to the list of rumors seen in the past, and it seems that it’s Sony to take the initiative this time.

Indeed, the creators of the PlayStation seem to be bothered with Apple’s hegemony in the portable devices sector and would be developing a smartphone that would be connected to an Online Service (Sony Online Service, which should be similar to the iTunes), where users could download songs and PlayStation games.

Despite the Sony brand, the device will be built by Sony Ericsson, even though the OS is still unknown. Sony also seems to be planning to make a tablet that would be a “netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation portable” all in one, in order to compete with Apple’s iPad and other devices.

Sony Ericsson has finally released images, video and official data about the new Xperia X10, the name that the company chose for their new smartphone, the first Sony Ericsson to feature Android and the UX platform, based on Open OS, that allows the integration of social networks, communication and entertainment thanks to applications such as TimeScape and MediaScape, capable of recognizing the face of our contacts, for example, and synchronize it with the main social networks.

Also impressive the technical specifications, and we’ll post some images of the device as well. The Sony Xperia X10 is scheduled to be launched on the first trimester of next year.

Since the initial rumors, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 has been featured in pictures and articles. Now, thanks to Slashgear, we found a video as well, that shows a bit of the smartphone and the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS with the Panels graphic interface.

This smartphone presents a 3.5″ touchscreen display, 8.1 Megapixel photocamera, GPS and accelerometer. The price has not yet been informed.

After talking about the S312, here we are with yet another Sony Ericsson model, this time a device that belongs to the Walkman family, the W205. It measures 92 x 47 x 16.4mm and weighs 96 grams, with a 1.8″ display with a maximum resolution of 128×160 pixels and capable of viewing more than 65.000 colors. The photocamera is not exactly the best on the market, with a maximum resolution of 1.3 megapixels.

But the strong point on this model is definitely the music playing, since it features the Walkman player, FM radio and dedicated multimedia buttons. It’s a low-range model that supports the GPRS connectivity, 5MB internal memory, expandable through microSD cards and the battery, according to official data, should guarantee 9 hours in conversation or 425 hours in standby.

This cellphone will be available in June, although the price has not yet been announced.

Generally it’s rare to see a decent photocamera on a low-range cellphone, but Sony Ericsson has done it with their new S312, featuring a 2 Megapixel photocamera.

It’ll be available from the second quarter of 2009, and it will feature, besides the photocamera, EDGE connectivity, bluetooth, FM radio, MP3 player, 2″ display with the resolution of 176×200 and a 15MB internal memory expandable through Memory Stick Micro M2.

The price on this model is still unknown.

And yet another Special Edition phone from Sony Ericsson: the F305 dedicated to the famous soccer game FIFA 2009. The technical specifications on this model remain the same as the normal F305, but the external case has a graphic pattern that makes it look like a soccer ball.

Another distinguishing feature is a 1GB M2 memory card with the FIFA 2009 game included, plus other 50 games. It’ll be sold exclusively with Virgin Mobile in France.

Previously launched on the Oriental market, now the Sony Ericsson T707 is available for the rest of the world as well. It’s a cellphone with feminine colors and featuring particular visual effects on the display and the gesture control feature.

Upon receiving a call the phone lights up, allowing the user to know who’s calling also thanks to special light effects. Besides the “glamour” effect, the most interesting feature is the gesture control system that, for example, allows the user to turn the ringtone off or deactivate their alarm clock by simply waving in front of the screen.

Other technical specifications include a 3.2 megapixel photocamera, a 2.2″ screen, FM radio, Bluetooth, HSDPA technology and a 1.1″ OLED, anti-scratch external display. The telephone features a 100MB internal memory and supports microSD, Transflash and Memory Stick Micro cards.

The T707 will be available from the second trimester of 2009.

Sony Ericsson proposes a new model of wireless speakers called MS500. The device is able to communicate with all cellphones through bluetooth up to a 10 meter distance.

It measures 113 x 83 x 45mm and weighs 155, and it has a hook that allows the user to place it wherever it’s more indicated. There are two colors available: black and orange or white and pink. It works with two AA batteries and it lasts up to 5 hours. Price and availability haven’t yet been announced.

Big name for this new look for the Sony Ericsson W595, the W595 Cosmopolitan Flower Edition. The only difference from the normal W595 models is indeed the outside cover, now featuring flower patterns. The hardware specifications remain the same.

Also present the embossed multimedia buttons that are featured on the Walkman series models. The price and availability on this model haven’t yet been announced.

Launched officially during the Mobile World Congress, the W995 is a new product from Sony Ericsson, created for the Walkman series aimed for the music lovers. It measures 97 x 49 x 15mm and weighs 113 grams, with a 2.6″ pixel display, with 240×320 pixel resolutions and more than 260.000 colors.

It’s compatible with HSDPA protocols, and it has a 118 MB internal memory, expandable through Memory Stick Micro M2 cards (an 8GB one is available with the package). Besides the embossed multimedia keys, there’s also the Wi-Fi, FM radio and bluetooth. The battery guarantees 9 hours in conversation and 360 hours in standby.
