  As much as I love the potential for wordplay with the Sony ST25i’s Kumquat codename, it’s probably for the better that the handset won’t launch under that banner. However, a newly leaked listing from Indonesia’s Postel (their government body most closely resembling the FCC) may provide us with the street name of the device [...]

Smart watches are all the rage these days, apparently, as yet another player has come to the table with one… sort of.

Hey, did you know there is this big trade show going in Las Vegas? If you haven’t seen us mention it in just about every post lately, take note. We’re here at CES and CES is treating us good with 18 new Android devices already announced (and the show floor hasn’t even opened yet). With [...]

Just because Sony Ericsson will soon be dropping their surname doesn’t mean they don’t have a few more devices to launch before going out with a bang.

Oh, sweet Mother Theresa, what is this? It appears that Sony Erics– Er, Sony is finally stepping up to the plate and preparing a superphone of their own, the LT28at for AT&T (I know, it stings). I originally mistook this leak for an American version of Nozomi (LT26i) — which could still very well be [...]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Active can take a beating, but it isn’t invincible, is it? This collection of videos suggests otherwise, as the handset designed to survive the stresses put on it by an active user is tortured in a way that makes Hostel look like a Disney flick.
