@WE
Nyante aja bro. Anak2 sini udah pada pinter2 kok. Aneh banget kali kalo ada henpon dikasih sub-brand Clie di kiri, Vaio di kanan. Ditambah Cyber-shot di bawah, Walkman di atas. Sekalian aja tambah Bravia di belakang. Masih kurang? Tenang, masih ada space buat naroh Playstation di samping. :-P
Anyway, kira2 apa yg bakal dipamerin SE di CEBIT nanti ya?

Cerita lama yang dibuka kembali. Tapi ada beberapa kalimat selain tentang PSP Phone yang menarik. Gw highlight pake warna biru ya...

Sony Ericsson hints at a PSP phone for 2009

Sony Ericsson had rather a successful MWC this year, with the 12 megapixel Idou being very favourably received, and the new Sony Ericsson W995 marking the first of a new range of phones from the company that it's calling "Entertainment Unlimited"

Entertainment Unlimited phones are the start of a new strategy for Sony Ericsson that will see the launch of the mythical PSP gaming phone in 2009 and will hopefully solve the financial problems the company has been having of late.

Sony Ericsson's old strategy

For years now, Sony Ericsson's strategy has been to focus on just one feature per phone and to make it really good. Thus we had the CyberShot range of phones, which were great at taking pictures, the Walkman range of phones, which were great for music, etc.

Although this strategy had its benefits - the CyberShot camera phones, for example, were generally the best camera phones in their class - it also had its downsides. It meant the company couldn't compete effectively with the likes of Nokia, LG and Samsung who were busy releasing feature phones that did absolutely everything.

So while Sony Ericsson was releasing its first 5 megapixel camera phone, for example, Nokia would release a 5 megapixeller that also came with GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, a compass and a tonne of other stuff.

It meant the Sony Ericsson looked like the lesser phone, even if its camera was better. This, in turn, hurt Sony Ericsson's sales - badly.

Sony + Ericsson = problem

The reason for this strategy was Sony, who naturally is very protective of its Walkman and CyberShot brands. A phone with a big camera would be labelled the CyberShot phone, irrespective of whether or not it also had a good MP3 player in it, as the marketing could then focus purely on the CyberShot brand.

The same approach applied to the Walkman brand - by keeping the features (camera and music) separate, the brands could also be kept separate, ensuring that each brand retained maximum visibility in the minds of the buying public.

The problem was that the buying public wre not buying - they wanted an all in one phone, not a phone that seemed good at one thing only.

As Todd Culos, global product manager for the new Idou, told Pocket Lint, "For the high-end stuff where we are competing against the iPhone or the N series [from Nokia] where they have everything, you know for your Cyber-shot phones we've had everything for a long time but couldn't really say it, so we talked about imaging."

In other words, the company's existing phones were also all in one feature phones, but the company was not allowed to describe them as such, as they had to push the CyberShot or Walkman brand hard, and talking about other features such as music on a CyberShot phone would, in Sony's eyes, diminish the brand.

Sony Ericsson's new strategy - Entertainment Unlimited

Fortunately, Sony seems to have had a change of heart, no doubt due to the disastrous financial results of both Sony Ericsson and of Sony itself.

Sony has said recently that it's doing a root and branch strategy review that cold see some "sacred cows" being slaying. Many analysts saw this as a sign that a significant brand, such as the PlayStation, could be dropped, but after this news form Sony Ericsson, I'm not so sure.

It makes more sense when seen in the light of Sony's branding and marketing strategies of the past. By holding on tightly to each individual brand and not cross promoting them, Sony might have ensured that each brand (CyberShot, Walkman, etc.) remained visible, but it was at the expense of profits as it turned people off the company's phones.

By slaying the scared cow of the individual brand and letting new products be developed that feature two or more of the company's brands in the one product, Sony may once again become the innovator it was always known as, and regain some of its lost market share.

The Sony Ericsson W995 (above), which features both the CyberShot and the Walkman brand, is just the first sign of this new strategy. A Sony Ericsson PSP phone may be the second.

The Sony Ericsson PSP phone

In his discussion with Pocket Lint, Culos also hinted at the development of a PSP phone (although it may not be called that).

"Under Entertainment Unlimited we will have another product announcement around gaming, with the full proposition with a little twist around gaming," he said.

Sony has always been known to be extremely reluctant to let Sony Ericsson develop a gaming phone, in case it ate into sales of its poorly performing PSP mobile game console. With Sony's new strategy, it seems those concerns have now been erased by the reality of the huge losses the company is racking up.

Whether the new Sony Ericsson gaming phone comes complete with the PSP brand on it we'll have to wait and see. One thing's for sure, though: Sony Ericsson is definitely releasing a new gaming phone of some form in 2009, and will soon release all in one phones that will take on the high end phones of Nokia and Samsung.

After the past couple of years of uninteresting phones, Sony Ericsson fans, at last, have something to cheer about!

Note: all PSP phone images in this post are Photoshopped concepts - but you knew that already, right?!

Sony Ericsson: No Plans For Solar Powered Handset In 2009
By Ernest Doku

One of the most prevalent recurring themes throughout Mobile World Congress this year was one of ‘going green’.

Many manufacturers introduced their initiatives to reduce the harmful effects that mobile phone production has on the environment, whilst Motorola, LG and Samsung have all announced new handsets which are solar-powered.

Charging the device is performed through panels on the rear, offering a great solution to people around the world with little or no access to electricity, as well as allowing people in the developed world feel as though they are playing their part in saving the planet.

Sony Ericsson, however, has other ideas.

Speaking to Mats Pellbäck-Scharp, head of corporate sustainability for Sony Ericsson, he mentioned that adding solar panels to a phone can in fact have a net negative effect on the environment.

How so? He explained that most of the environmental impact in a phone is from silicon production. Melting sand into glass takes a lot of energy, but it is a necessary feature for the production of a handset’s internal architecture.

However, when more silicon is added for features like solar panels, the detrimental impact to the environment rises by much more. In order to cover the environmental costs of production when adding solar panels to a handset in fact would take three years of usage to pay it back.

As the average lifecycle of a handset is the twelve or eighteen month duration of a contract, that phone will actually have contributed a net loss, damaging the environment. So they opted out of pursuing it in their handsets at present, but are open to the concept if production costs fell to within the phone’s lifecycle.

Sony Ericsson has actually dabbled in before, making an solar panel cover for the ancient T28i back in 2002, but will not be returning there for now.

Even the practicality of a solar panel on a device which spends most time in your pocket (or under grey skies in the case of those in the UK) was brought into question.

Moves such as a bio-plastic housing, recycled plastic keypads, a charger which uses only 3.5mW of power on standby, an HTML based ‘e-manual’, and environmentally aware packaging are all indicative of GreenHeart’s intentions.

That’s not to say that the GreenHeart will be a low-end environmentally friendly handset first and foremost. It will still possess market leading music or camera features, but with the added peace of mind that it is definitely playing it’s part in healing the planet.

We hope to see the first GreenHeart phones in the first half of 2009, and an announcement regarding them later in the week.

Granted, it also makes good business sense as a cost cutting exercise, but at least it proves Sony Ericsson’s heart is in the right place.

Let’s hope their forthcoming handsets like the Sony Ericsson W995 and Sony Ericsson Idou fall under this exciting green banner.

Karena memang dia dibuat untuk operator au by KDDI.
Di Jepang ada 3(?) operator, yang GSM-base adalah SoftBank (dulu Vodafone) dan NTT DoCoMo, sedangkan yang CDMA-base adalah KDDI.
Gak tahu lagi apa masih ada operator lain selain 3 tersebut. CMIIW.

Tapi beberapa handset terakhir yang dirilis au KDDI (termasuk yang dibuat oleh SE) udah mendukung Global Passport yang kayanya sih bisa berjalan di jaringan GSM dan CDMA. Tapi jangan bayangkan modelnya dual SIM Card kaya hape-hape China di sini ya...

Masalahnya -- seperti juga di Korea -- baik GSM maupun CDMA-nya Jepang itu kayanya frekuensinya beda deh sama negara2 lain pada umumnya... selain itu handset mereka juga di-lock dengan ketat oleh masing2 operator. Meskipun udah banyak yang bisa di-unlock tapi itu rata2 model lama, model2 agak baru biasanya masih pake XSIM atau HyperSIM yang belum full unlock. CMIIW.

TERTARIK???

Sony Ericsson W64S Now Available… To The World!

Sony Ericsson’s W64S has been availabe under Japanese operator AU for a while now, but only to Japanese customers. Previously, AU phones never worked outside of Japan unless you are a customer and subscriber of AU’s mobile phone service in Japan. Well it looks like that is beginning to all change. Rather new, a few tech geeks managed to create an unlock for the Sony Ericsson W64S, as shown above. This unlock, still in the preliminary stages, does not require an external hypersim and is said to be “99.9% stable and perfect.” A few business owners have managed to get a hold of this and are now beginning to sell unlocked Sony Ericsson W64S.

The Sony Ericsson W64S is available for an average $700 CDN, or appoximately $556 USD and €439 EURO. The W64S is aviable in four colours, Snow x White, Diamond x Pink, Lattice x Black, and Mist x Blue. The Lattice x Black, by the way, looks much darker and only purple in certain angles in reality than rather than the following renderings.

Reviewing the specifications of the W64S, it has obviously a flip phone with a rotating/swivel screen. This allows it to be used as a TV/Media Player or used as a 3.2 megapixel camera, located on the back of the phone. The screen is a 16M colour WFVGA 2.8 inch screen. On the front, there are hidden notification lights that glow when there are new text messages, missed calls, and ringing alarms.

For more information regarding the W64S with more specification, commercials, and media campaigns, visit Sony Ericsson’s W64S Product Website (Japanese). I would highly recommend watching the W64S demo, even if you don’t understand Japanese.

There is a catch with this phone. Well, there are catches with all Japanese keitais. For one, one cannot use the internet browser or use anything that involves the internet, such as GPS and downloading of applications and games. This is locked only to the AU by KDDI USIM. TV is not an option either as the signals are only available in Japan. But with all AU by KDDI phones, unfortunately and at the moment, text messaging does not work at all. Nevertheless, this is a ground breaking discovery and spark more AU by KDDIs available. You never know, you might be picking up a Walkman Monster Premier3, Cybershot Flagship S001, or the endless customization RE soon.

DI MANA KALAU MAU BELI???
DI SINI...!!!

Err... internet gak bisa, gps gak bisa, tv gak bisa jadi mubazir layarnya, dan... sms gak bisa?
