Let’s start with pointing out that these are merely concept pictures, which have appeared on a Korean website. That I must add does seem to be reputable website.
They discuss the Xperia X5 Nadine and it’s acknowledged that the concepX5 does I fact look more like concept! The existence of the product by their own admission is very doubtful. According to the comments on the Korean site it claims that the Sony Ericsson X5 adopted the Android system.
It seems the Sony Ericsson X5 if it is real or turns out to be will be some beast of a phone, available in three colors and with some amazing specs, including a 3.5 inch touchscreen, sliding full QWERTY keyboard, 12 MP camera with auto focus and XENON Flash. Have a look for yourselve’s and see what you make of it.
Sony Ericsson is looking to switch more of its handset production to China by increasing local suppliers of components at the cost of reducing its non-Chinese suppliers. Matthew Costello, corporate vice-president of Sony Ericsson and head of global operations, told the Chinese official news agency, China Daily that the move would enable the world’s fourth-largest cell phone maker to “be more close to our manufacturing activity”.
He added: “Roughly 90 percent of (Sony Ericsson’s) finished products, including handsets and accessories, are now manufactured locally in China.”
The company has already reduced the number of component suppliers from around 300 to 175 over the past couple of years.
“Currently, roughly 80 percent of our suppliers are Asia-headquartered,” Costello added, without saying how many are based in China.
Sony Ericsson held a global supply conference in Beijing earlier this week.
There’s been lots of internal wrangling over at Sony Ericsson in recent months, but the company looks to have finally sorted itself out: it’s just appointed a new boss and he’s already gone on record to say the phone maker is to get in on the smartphone game, big time.
Ericsson exec Bert Nordberg is to take over as Sony Ericsson CEO solo from 15 October, replacing outgoing top dog Dick Komiyama at the struggling company. He’s already outlined his plans to grab back some of the market share from the likes of Apple and Nokia: by making more smartphones, Sony Ericsson’s traditional weakspot.

It’s possible Nordberg only has the upcoming Windows Mobile fueled Xperia X2 and stunning Android X3 in mind, but we’re hoping he’s got a bigger shift in mind, with multiple Android handsets to take on HTC’s ever expanding range.
Interestingly, the restructure also saw Sony head honcho Sir Howard Stringer take over as chairman of Sony Ericsson, suggesting his plans to get all the arms of the Japanese giant working as one extends to mobiles too. Could this mean a proper PSP phone is still on the cards?
Mobile Tube. Sony Ericsson Germany is running a YouTube-based campaign for its W995 handset using interactive video. The clip features four navigation buttons. The ‘Video Quiz’ tab links the user to a contest featuring Jan Delay where players can win a W995. The ‘PlayNow Arena’ button delivers a showcase of all the content available for the phone. The ‘Top Features’ channel delivers… well, you kinda know already. While those clicking on ‘YouTube Function’ get to see how they can put the viral video site in their pockets: Nice use of i-video functions – expect more campaigns like this on YouTube, though perhaps more exciting.
Sony Ericsson is in the middle of a global tour to explain its app store strategy to a handpicked group of tier one developers.
The 15 location roadshow has been conceived to accelerate the creation of compelling apps for Sony Ericsson devices – with generous rewards offered in return.
In this exclusive interview, ME asked Christopher David, head of developer and partner engagement at Sony Ericsson, about all things app.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 has only just shot out of the blocks. But it seems this touchscreen titan could be the last Windows Mobile blower Son Ericsson rocks, with reports suggesting the mobile maker is getting ready to cut the cord with Microsoft. Keep reading to see just what SE has up its sleeve.
Despite a sleek new design, Windows Mobile is still taking a critical battering from Android and iPhone OS. So Sony Ericsson is preparing to end its stormy relationship with Microsoft according to Mobile–Review’s Eidar Murtazin.
Murtazin, a man known for his impeccable mobile connections, says the Xperia X2 will be the last Sony Ericsson phone to pack Windows Mobile. In the future, he says, the phone giant will work on Android and S60 blowers instead.
Apparently, its all down to how many WinMo cells SE can flog. Murtazin says insiders have told him the, “…sales forecast is bad,” for the Microsoft mobiles. With the Xperia Rachael and Satio just around the corner, such a move would not be a surprise.
