Nokia to Sony Ericsson about the PSP phone - Bring it on!

In the past few year we have hear several rumors about the PSP phone. We have even hear some answers from Sony and Sony Ericsson but the situation is at least confusing, because no one is giving us a simple yes or no answer. Now it's Nokia's time to state its opinion about the long rumored PSP phone.

Nokia launched its gaming phone N-Gage some years ago. You are probably aware that it wasn't a big success and for a while it looked that Nokia will bury the whole thing but then they got a new fascinating idea. Why don't we turn the N-Gage into a gaming platform and put it into some of our phones? Well, it happened and now Nokia has few Nseries handsets that can run N-Gage applications/games.

Sony Ericsson high-end smartphone photo leaked

The author of se.blogvasion received a really interesting photo today. We don't know whether it's a fake or not but it definitely looks very interesting. From the picture you could assume that the device is running on Windows Mobile, just like the recently announced XPERIA X1. Based on the fact that Sony Ericsson isn't giving up of the Symbian UIQ 3, this might be a new XPERIA handset. Still, I find it rather odd if Sony Ericsson is planning to announce another XPERIA handset soon, because the X1 won't be available in months.

This might be the long rumored P5i. Maybe Sony Ericsson is going to use the Windows Mobile OS only with their high-end smartphones...

We all know Google. It's the biggest and the best known search engine, it was establish in 1998 and most internet users are relying on Google when they need find something from the internet. These days many web browser has a search bar and like FireFox and Safari the default search engine is Google.

Krusell - TOP-10 selling phones in February 2008

By taking seven out of ten positions, Nokia is in total lead of the Krusell Top 10 list for February. It is rather fascinating to see that no other brand than Nokia and Sony Ericsson are represented in the list this month, says Ulf Sandberg MD at Krusell. At least for the next month I will expect to see one of the units from HTC, Apple and Samsung making a comeback.
