Sony Ericsson W715 unboxing video

We’re continuing to look at the Walkman and Cybershot phones that Sony Ericsson have to offer and this week we have the Sony Ericsson W715. As the name suggests this is one of Sony Ericsson’s more music-centric Walkman handsets.

Unlike other Sony Ericsson handsets we’ve reviewed lately, the W715 is exclusive to Vodafone.

The W715 is another exciting exclusive for Vodafone customers. The seamless integration with Vodafone’s Music services, such as single or full album download, provides for a great overall experience on our fast and reliable network. With fully integrated GPS and Vodafone Find&Go, this phone is offering a very attractive feature set in a combination we know customers are asking for more and more", said Patrick Chomet, Global Director of Terminals at Vodafone.

While we’re writing up our review we thought you might like to look at a brief unboxing video to see what the handset has to offer.

Samsung I7500 Android phone heading to the UK in Q3

image Samsung have announced their first Android phone, set to debut in the UK in Q3. The I7500 will have a 3.2-inch capacitive OLED touchscreen as seen in the the recent Tocco Ultra Edition.

The Android handset will have the latest Cupcake update, 5MP camera with flash, 3.5mm headset jack and 8GB of internal memory which should be plenty for all the new Android applications that are starting to come through.

O2 has apparently picked up this handset in Germany, so we assume it will follow onto the UK soon after. That will mean an Android handset on all the major UK networks except Orange and Three.

A look at the Pandora

PandaFront

Here is a device that might just get a few folks talking. This is the Pandora, roughly the same size as the Nintendo DS and, as you can see, looks like the Nintendo DS lite. Pandora is an open end platform that will specialise in homebrew applications and games, similar to the GP2X. The Pandora developers have already shown working emulators for PlayStation, Amiga, Super NES, Atari Jaguar and Sega Mega Drive software.

Samsung Omnia Pro

omnia-pro

This one lies deep in the bowels of Rumorsville for the time being but we can’t say we’d hate for it to become a reality. According to Samsung – HD blog, Sammy will have a new addition to its Omnia lineup come July. Billed as the Omnia Pro — which, by the way, definitely detracts from the believability-factor of this rumor — the new handset will feature a full touchscreen sitting atop a QWERTY slider a la HTC’s Touch Pro and Pro2. Perhaps Sammy figured if it was going to bite the form factor it might as well bite the name, too? Reported specs for the Omnia Pro include a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 AMOLED touchscreen display, Windows Mobile 6.1 (which will be upgradable to 6.5 upon release) and a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, a flash and video recording capabilities. So if you’ve been eying the OmniaHD but aren’t a fan of S60 5h Edition or touchscreen-only handsets, keep your fingers crossed that this rumor ends up panning out. The image above, by the way, is a mock up created by the source.

Android HTC Magic in Spain

htc-magic-spain

Eight days ahead of its expected launch in the UK, Vodafone’s HTC Magic page has suddenly gone live in Spain and ordering of the latest android handset has commenced. The Spanish Magic will come with a slightly higher price tag than its UK counterpart, ranging from 199€ ($261USD) with a 21€ ($28USD) monthly plan down to 19€ ($25) with a 62€ ($81) monthly plan. Being able to flaunt the latest and greatest Android handset earlier than anyone else comes with a cost, no?
