According to Engadget's live blog, they just announced the Sony Ericsson W995 and i guess it's impressive for a Walkman phone.

Sony Ericsson looks like they're going to focus more on the camera features on a CyberShot and PMP features on their Walkman phones. This is something that they should have already been doing... Sony mentioned their Idou (12.1MP camera, full touchscreen) and showed a "somewhat frightening video." They also said that they won't be announcing it's commercial name until a late date, maybe in the summer. Wow, looks like i wasted my time keeping up because they actually didn't announce anything entirely new that interested me. Looks like it's already Question and Answer time. I'm still looking for a live stream for future press conferences, but it looks like there won't be any. Boo! Oh, the Idou will have a 3.5-inch touchscreen which i believe is the same as the Nokia N97.

Since this post is so short, i figured that i might as well talk about the Samsung Memoir. It will, in fact, be hitting US on February 25th, just like my old post said. This phone has a full touchscreen and an 8MP camera with a xenon flash. More specs are listed at the link, if you really want to go check it out. It'll be interesting to see how good the Idou will do running Symbian and thankfully, not Windows Mobile.

I am going to finish my Poem for English today and also my Physics homework, so that i won't have to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow will be MWC-filled.

Since i can't find an MWC 2009 live stream and Sony Ericcson's press conference has already started, i'll be constantly refreshing Engadget's live blog of MWC here.

Before Sony Ericsson's press conference started, a couple of their phones slipped out early. Number one on this list is the Sony Ericsson Idou which will run on Symbian and have a 12.1MP camera with a xenon flash. Impressive. There are no other specs revealed for this phone, but we could be expecting it in the second half of 2009.

The Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone also slipped out early. This is the Hikaru that was announced a couple of days ago. It will have an 8.1MP camera, GPS, Google Maps, WiFi, 118MB of built-in memory plus an 8GB card. The screen is also scratch resistant. Nothing too new here, but the camera is definitely a plus.

Anyways, i'm constantly refreshing Engadget's live blog of Sony Ericsson's press conference, so i'm gonna focus on that now. They actually just officially unveiled the W995.
