Sony Ericsson’s txt pro CK15a entry-level smartphone went through it’s paces at through the FCC today. The device has a sliding landscape QWERTY keypad and runs a proprietary Sony Ericsson OS. Like the name suggests, the txt pro is all about messaging, and features Gmail, Google Talk, Twitter, Facebook and txt apps.

Other features include a 3-inch screen with a 400 x 240 resolution, 64MB of RAM, up to 100MB of internal storage, microSD card support up to 32GB, a 3.2MP camera and up to 400 hours of standby time. Nothing on pricing or availability yet though.

According to Wirefly, the upcoming “PlayStation Phone” aka the Xperia Play from Sony Ericsson will be sold by Verizon when it arrives in the US. If that is accurate, Verizon customers have some tough choices to make. There’s the iPhone 4, Thunderbolt and now the Xperia Play all arriving on their network.

Decisions, decisions. This one does have a slide out gamepad, Android 2.3 and the PlayStation Suite. Which one do you get?

The PlayStation Phone has been sighted. A video of the phone in action has surfaced from Greece. Sadly, we don’t get to see the phone showing off its slider game pad, but judging by previous pictures this seems like the real thing. It’s one half portable gaming console, one half Android smartphone.

It’s called the Sony Ericsson Z1 and is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The 4-inch touchscreen has been said to offer great responsiveness. Check out the video below.

If you thought that the walkman series was dead, think again. It’s still alive and kicking with two new phones that were just announced. The Sony Ericsson Spiro and Zylo. Both are sliders with social networking integration for the younger crowd.

The Sony Ericsson Zylo supports the HD FLAC audio format, a high-quality lossless audio codec. It won’t reduce the audio quality and delivers the best sound experience with Clear Audio technology.

Sure, the big news from Sony Ericsson today was regarding the Satio, but they have more tricks up their sleeve. The Yari and Aino might sound like some Japanese dynamic duo, but in fact they are the companies latest phones in the higher end of the range.

The Yari slider on the left is touted as a gaming device, with gesture-control similar to the Wii. It sports a 2.4-inch display, GPS, and support for PlayNow services. It should be available in the fourth quarter for about $558 unlocked.

Sony Ericsson’s latest cell phone headed to the US is the CS8. Congratulations are in order as it’s just gotten FCC approval. Sony Ericsson bigwigs are passing around the cigars and letting the booze flow. What a moment. Someone is surely photocopying their butt in celebration.

The 8.1 megapixel slider comes with myFaves support along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS navigation. We don’t know when the Cyber-shot line handset will be available, but it should be soon. They grow up so fast and set out on their own.

In the market for a fashionable handset that will stand out and is not an iPhone? AU KDDI of Japan has a newly created brand called iida, that is aimed squarely at fashion-conscious users. One of their first handsets is the G9 slider from Sony Ericsson that is actually kinda sexy in a retro way.

Some features include: Built-in 1Seg TV tuner, Stainless steel body with titanium coating, CDMA 1X and GSM network compatible, 3″ touchscreen display at 480 x 854 resolution, 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, microSD memory card slot, Bluetooth connectivity, and GPS navigation support.

Here is the first leaked picture of Sony Ericsson’s new Walkman-branded slider phone with metal housing. Known as the Hikaru, the music phone will be officially announced on February 15th 2009, before the MWC 2009, in Barcelona.

Some specs include a 2.6 inch display, an 8MP camera, Walkman player 4.0, stereo speakers, dedicated music keys, a 3.5mm headset jack and 8GB of internal memory. There’s no word on pricing yet, but it will be released in Q2 of ’09. That’s what we know right now.

It’s a real shame that those outside of Japan won’t be able to lay their hands the Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 at retail stores. It’s a real beauty of a camera phone. The Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 features an 8.1 megapixel autofocus EXMOR CMOS sensor with LED flash, Smile Shutter and Face Recognition technology, Image Stabilization and auto exposure/white balance alongside sensitivity of up to ISO 1600.

Some other features of the CDMA/GSM slider handset include a 3.3″ OLED display with 854 x 480 resolution, Bluetooth connectivity, Integrated GPS, and 1Seg TV tuner. You can get it from KDDI in Japan in our choice of black, gold, green and pink this March.

Sony Ericsson has turned their latest entry-level music cell phone into a pocket-friendly device. It measures in at 75mm x 44mm x 18mm. Known as the Xmini, the handset will be available from KDDI and as you can see from the pic above, it’s a slider that hides touch sensitive buttons.

You get essentially the same features of a basic normal-sized music phone, they just managed to squeeze into the small device. Some of those features include Bluetooth, basic messaging, MP3 ringtone support and audio playback. Not really that big a deal, but it’s really cute tiny. Chances are we won’t be seeing it here in the US.

Sony’s just gave the official word on its new G705 slider handset, and it’s pretty nice looking with attractive mid-end features. It features a 2.4 inch TFT with auto-rotation, A-GPS, DLNA, quad-band GSM and AGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, 3.2-megapixel camera with flash plus a Java-based OS. Some other features are a full HTML browser, Exchange ActiveSync for email, Google shortcut key for Google Maps, and YouTube viewing and direct upload. It gets “turbo 3G speeds,” thanks to a Tri-band HSDPA. The European and Asian versions of the phone will be available in October, while we in America will have to wait for early 2009. No pricing details yet.

Sony Ericsson is celebrating the Walkman phone’s third anniversary by adding three new mobiles to the family as well as a small army of new accessories. All of these products will be available by the end of the year.

The mobile phone company is specifically debuting the W302, W902 and W595 Walkman cell phones to select markets around the world. It is also rolling out wireless and regular speakers as well as wireless and noise canceling headphones. More details on all of this and more can be found after the jump.

Sony Ericsson’s let another one out of the bag before the official announcement. In this case, it’s a nice looking slider called the Cyber-shot C905, apparently codenamed “Shiho.” Assuming the rumors are true, it’s pretty impressive. How about an 8.1 megapixel camera with xenon AND LED flash, for all of your still and video capture needs, throw in GPS, TV out, DLNA certification, and HSDPA in either European and American. It should be announced on the 17th of this month, and available in gold, silver, and black in the fourth quarter.

Sony Ericsson today launched the T303, a small new slider mobile phone that offers a some style in a pocket-sized package. The T303 comes in a metal housing to give it a sold feel with a chrome finish and a sexy mirrored display.

The new handset isn’t breaking out into any bleeding edge technologies by any means, but looks to be a solid handset with some basic features and basic smooth looks. The small size is definitely something to take note of as well. The phone’s length measures just 3.3 inches when closed and weighs 3.3 ounces. It also has 65k color TFT and 8MB of internal memory for media, but does not appear to have any type of slot for external memory.

If this is Sony’s new PSP phone, it hits the mark exactly. Supposedly it features a widescreen 3-inch (480 x 272) display, PSP functionality via M2 card slot(UMD would be gone), dual-slide design, and a functional gamepad.

Slide it over to one side and there’s a joypad with analog stick for PSP controls. Slide to the other side and a number keyboard will show up. The gaming community is buzzing from some supposedly leaked scans of this possible PSPhone from Stuff magazine, from a few months back. Somehow it escaped everyone’s notice until now since no one reads the damn thing.
