Remember the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 we’ve mentioned a couple of days ago? Well, today the manufacturer has published a press release, so now we can provide you a full set of XPERIA's features and specifications. Check them out below.

All that's left to add is that X1 will surely become a bestseller when it launches in the second half of 2008.

Sony Ericsson has extended its G-series with the new G700 and G900 smartphones with PDA functionality.

In other words, these are two "touchscreen organizers" that “keep your contacts, calendars, notes, pictures and favorite Web sites all in one place and just a fingertip away”.

Meet the XPERIA X1, a new high-end smartphone from Sony Ericsson.

It was presented yesterday at MWC show in Barcelona and has all the chances to become a real hit.

There aren't too many details about this handset, but as far as we know it runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional OS and comes with a 3" touch-screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a touch-sensitive trackball.

Sony Ericsson unveiled its new Z770 clamshell at Mobile World Congress yesterday.

The phone supports tri-band GSM/EDGE and 2100 MHz HSDPA networks, features a 2Mpix camera, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth, and includes Access' NetFront web browser and Google Maps application.

The release is scheduled for Q2 2008.

Here are a couple of new Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot phones presented at MWC, the C702 and the C902.

Common features include GSM/EDGE networking, Access's NetFront browser with RSS reader, and FM receiver. And now briefly about each handset:

• The C902 model comes with a 5Mpix camera with auto-focus, flash, 2.

A member of the xda-developers forums has developed a notification utility called smartWatchM, which allows for certain data interchange between a Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Watch and Sony Ericsson phones or Windows Mobile based smartphones.

For instance, if you receive a message or an incoming phone call, or if you're listening to the music, the corresponding info, such as type of the message received or current song details is displayed on the watch's screen.

Here is a demo video of the updated Sony Ericsson PlayNow arena service.
