Sony Ericsson is struggling to gain market share in the mobile phone arena. Sony Ericsson has not enjoyed much success in the market and is out to grow its business. Launching cool handsets is one way to grow its market and another is to make its handsets available on more networks.

Sony Ericsson announced today that it is producing its first handset built specifically for the AWS spectrum 1700/2100 network that T-Mobile operates in America. The handset is the first from Sony Ericsson to support T-Mobile and is called the TM506. The TM506 connects to T-Mobile’s 3G network.

The Sony Ericsson T700 is now official. And officially sexy. They obviously took a page from Apples design team. Measuring only 10mm thick, the slim candybar phone boasts 3G connections and high speed HSDPA. The handset also offers a 3.2MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, two speakers and a memory stick slot. It will also geotag photos, but instead of packing full GPA, it uses cell-tower data to roughly work out your position. The Sony Ericsson Ultra-slim T700 phone should be available in the fourth quarter of 2008.

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.

We all know the rumors. By now most of us have seen the patents. But are these the real, official Sony Ericsson PSP phone specs?

Well, if this scanned white paper is to be believed, the PSP phone is going to be made by Sony Ericsson, not just Sony. It will feature the “full PSP experience” and also have advanced phone features. Some of the specs include: 4.3″ 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD display at 480 x 272 pixels and 16.77 million colors, 2 megapixel camera, Built-in web browser, Built-in podcasting, Flight mode, Bluetooth connectivity, Memory Stick Micro/microSD memory card slot, Streaming audio/video, Video calling, Speakerphone, Alarm clock, calculator, calendar, and more.

Boy Genius got his hands on a video along with some new pictures of the Sony Ericsson X1 phone. The handset sports a 800 x 480 screen, optical joystick, and HSDPA support. BGR hates the keyboard, saying it’s not absolutely terrible, but one of the worst.

The video is pretty clever with a bad version of the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour being played, lots of paper airplanes and other nonsense. Watch the video below.

Sony Ericsson is launching a new gaming phone named the F305. It’s a quad-band GSM phone with support for EDGE network speeds, Memory Stick Micro slot, 2-inch 176 x 220 display and music playback, a built-in accelerometer for motion controlled games. Comes with Bowling, Bass fishing & Jockey, which all use motion control.

To play, just mimic the actual motion, just like how you use the Wii. I like that the face buttons are all game-oriented. It will be announced on the 17th and should drop in the 3rd quarter of the year.

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 released it’s G502, another HSDPA phone. It’s a nice looking phone and also has the latest Google Maps for Mobile, an application to view high quality maps that will give you a satellite view of the local area, so you can view listings of restaurants and hotels.

The Sony Ericsson G502 will be available in select markets from Q2 2008 in Champagne Black and Brilliant Hazel colors. Some specs include: High Speed HSDPA, RSS Desktop, Bluetooth, FM Radio, 2 megapixel camera, 2-inch 256k color TFT screen with 240 x 320 resolution, plus 32MB internal memory and a Memory Stick Micro card slot.

Normally if you want a 3G capable mobile phone with web access, email and other features you are looking at spending a few hundred bucks. Typically Sony Ericsson phones are limited to slower than 3G service and tend to be more expensive devices.

The latest Sony Ericsson mobile phone exclusively for AT&T breaks those traditions and is the first Sony Ericsson phone for the U.S. market that features 3G connectivity. The handset is called the Z750a and it will be available in early April for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.

Stun guns that look like phones are nothing new, but they usually look pretty crappy. That’s not the case with this Sony Ericsson W700. It looks normal, but has a stun button that delivers a 900,000-volt electric shock via two small metal prongs.

British Police recently confiscated this W700 phone and it’s the first time we are hearing about a Sony Ericsson W700 stun gun. The price seems to be between $50 and $100. Interestingly, UK police use 50,000V stun guns. The police were shocked to find it.
The 21-year-old man was charged with aggravated burglary of a business and possessing an offensive weapon.

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.

Sony Ericsson has recently rolled out the Z770, the latest to the Z series line of mobiles giving you a clamshell-style handset that has access to the internet and email without needing to buy a full-fledged smartphone. This handset has a familiar mobile phone design and is not too bulky at just 0.6 inches thick and 3.2 ounces, but still wields the power of web browsing and bringing in your email while on the go.

For internet browsing the Z770 has Magnet Mouse Pointer controlled by a navigation key, giving you different pointers as you scroll across the page for text input, pointing or links, similar to most desktop browsers. The 2.2-inch screen is not too bad for a mobile phone but still can be a little small, so SE added in a pan and zoom feature to make reading that tiny text a little easier.

Another one of the new lineup of devices launched by Sony Ericsson today is the G700, another “Touchscreen Organizer” that promises its users to give back more time to busy people. The G700 is the little brother to the G900, housing many of the same features with a smaller, 3.2 megapixel camera and lacking the Wi-Fi connectivity.

The G700 does have the same intuitive interface that Sony Ericsson is bragging up as a simple and efficient tool for organizing your life without a lot of technology “just for the sake of it”. It features the One-touch full organizer with the ability to make little “post-it” type notes that can be hand-written with the stylus and saved. The handset can also recognize the handwriting and convert to text as you take notes on the 2.4″ touchscreen.

Sony Ericsson today in Barcelona unveiled the new G series mobile handset line led by the G900, touted by SE as a touchscreen organizer for those with busy schedules and “are only interested in making their lives easier”. The G900 has an intuitive touchscreen interface that makes navigating the tools and organizing your day simple without all of those “frills” like a QWERTY keyboard found on many of todays smartphones, making them bulkier.

Typing through the interface can be done with the regular phone keypad or through a touchscreen keyboard. You can also use the stylus to tap out your selections or hand-write notes on the 240×320 pixel screen. The G900 handles connectivity with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GSM 900/1800/1900 radios with UMTS 2100 which appears to unfortunately leave us out here in the U.S.

Among the many product announcements released by Sony Ericsson today the most significant has to be the release of the new XPERIA line by introducing the XPERIA X1. The new XPERIA brand marks a new era for Sony Ericsson in mobile devices, with this sweet-looking new model featuring a whole host of communication mediums, driven from a touch screen and full-QWERTY keyboard and riding on Windows Mobile 6.

SE calls the design of the X1 an “arch slider” as it slides up to expose the full keyboard with a large 3-inch VGA display on top. The impressive list of features continues with a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and video, a microSD slot and communications via Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, and quad-band GSM/EDGE, and 900/1700/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA.
