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.

Sony Ericsson extended their line of Cyber-shot cameraphones today with two new models – the C702 and the C902. The camera phones were both designed with different audiences in mind. The C902 is geared more towards looking good and taking high-quality photos while the C702 caters to those wanting to take their camera phone more places with quick, easy functionality.

The C902 Cyber-shot is a 5 megapixel cameraphone with sleek design and a slide-out lens cover. It features automatic face detection, a big flash and auto-focus and 160MB of internal storage, of which you can supplement with a Memory Stick Micro. Sony Ericsson says it will be available around the second quarter of this year and come in some stylish colors of Swift Black or Luscious Red.

Sony Ericsson dropped a new Walkman mobile phone/media player to the market today with the W980, featuring 8GB of internal memory, included headphones and something the company is calling “Walkman On Top”.

The new Walkman On Top is a lot like it sounds. SE put the controls and the display of current playing tracks on the front of the device allowing complete navigation and viewing without having to open up the handset, hence the name “on top”. The new Walkman also comes with built-in stereo speakers and FM transmitter letting users share their tunes directly or through an FM radio on a home or car stereo. Sony Ericsson also wanted to make sure that listening to music alone was clear with quality sound and threw in Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77 headset. The headset allows listening to music and the ability to take calls hands free.

From India Sony Ericsson brings us word of two new mobile phones with built-in AM/FM radios and speakers. These mobiles are known as the R300 Radio and R306 Radio.

Simply put, these two Sony Ericsson cell phones let you listen to AM/FM radio. Preset buttons on the front of each let you switch between favorite stations. The built-in speakers, meanwhile, work best when the phone is set on its side. Sound from these speakers can be upgraded with a volume boost and also 3D sound enhancement.

According to the BoyGenius Report rumors of the Sony Ericssson W999i Walkman phone have been confirmed due to an accidental posting of the device on the GSM Association website (search by brand for Sony Ericsson). Rumors of a new line up came about weeks ago, but nothing near to concrete as this.

The information is pretty scant, but as usual the picture itself says quite a bit. The W999i Walkman features a slider form factor exposing a two-letter per button keypad and HSDPA. Some other rumored features that are not confirmed along with this photo are a 2 megapixel camera, a 12.5 mm thick frame and a 2.4 inch QVGA screen. No information on price or availability, but it can’t be too far off now.

Sony Ericsson continues to expand their Walkman mobile phone lineup and feature list by now adding the Walkman W580. The W580i sports the Quad Band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) connectivity along with music playback, and this time Sony Ericsson has added some additional new features to help with your outdoor exercise routine.

The new mobile phone supports Disc2Phone software to transfer music to an internal 12MB of storage which can be expanded with a Memory Stick card, and TrackID will identify unknown songs whether they are downloaded or even recorded off of the built in FM tuner. Some other highlights are a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and a “slider” style frame.

These are all nice features but the real unique item for the Walkman W580 is its concern for fitness by providing a pedometer built into the phone. By counting steps the mobile media device is able …
