Sony Ericsson - mobile phones for every occasion!

They're one of the big names in mobile phones. They're a huge company, made of Japanese and Swedish brilliance. They are Sony Ericsson.

Who are Sony Ericsson?

Sony Ericsson are the 4th biggest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world, and the second biggest in the UK. That's an important distinction to make, and I'll come back to it later. Nevertheless for now, suffice to say they're one of the big boys, with one of the most straightaway recognisable names in the mobile world. And if it isn't transparent from the name, Sony Ericsson are actually made up of a joint venture between two companies (no prizes for guessing it's Sony and Ericsson...) That gives thi a vast wealth of expertise to draw from; from Ericsson, senescence of familiarity in the world of motile phones and from Sony, even longer in the world of fabulously-groovy consumer electronics.

In essence then, what you're getting is a perfect wedding of worlds, with Sony Ericsson. With that intimate knowledge of mobile phones, combined with Sony's seemingly bottomless pockets and consumer innovations, it's a recipe that leads to greatness. Sure, they may not have the might (yet) to take on the almighty Nokia (but then, who does??), but Sony Ericsson ambulatory phones are blazing their very own blooming feverous circuit fini the world.

Mobile phones - the cream of the crop

So, which Sony Ericsson mobile phones stand out as being true world-beaters? Well, for starters, in the globe of camera phones (one of the biggest areas in the hisory of expressive devices, EVER), they stand proud with their Cyber-Shot scope of phones, the flagship mannequin of which, the K850i, is frighteningly powerful, and at 5 megapixels, produces frighteningly ace photos. Seriously, I'm talking proper, standalone digital camera quality, here! So, that's camera phones in the bag. But Sony Ericsson too excel at music phones, and their Walkman-series of mobile phones are synonymous with pure musical excellence. Having tried one myself, I can honestly tell you, they rock. Big time!

They're the main product ranges, but Sony Ericsson hold other ranges, from fashion phones, to smartphones... and when I say smartphones, I mean 'really, really smart, probably smarter than me' phones. So, from the ranks of the fashionistas, you have the T650i and S500i, and from the ranks of their smartphones, you have the happening grand master, the mighty P1i, which I consider to be the unmarried finest smartphone on the market (well, I would, that's the bell I use). Well, it will be until the P5 comes away later in the year... And then, of course, there is the late X1 Xperia, designed to crack the America market.

All in all, then, Sony Ericsson richly deserve to be one of the big boys, with a huge, cool portfolio of ace mobile phones. Let's hope they kick Nokia off the cipher 1 spot within ten years time!
