SONY Ericsson (SE) this week showed a diverse lineup of nine new mobile phones. Fresh out of the oven is the minimalist Xperia Pureness ($798 w/o contract), featuring what SE calls the world's first mobile with a transparent LCD screen. Hidden keys only light up when touched and you can do little besides call, SMS, and listen to music.
For something more practical, try the Android-based Xperia X10, aimed at social networking addicts with its innovative Timescape (which consolidates all communications from each contact) and Mediascape functions. The X10 will be available later this month.
Those who prefer their gadgets small can hold out a while longer for the Xperia X10 mini and Xperia X10 mini pro, set for launch by June. They eschew the Mediascape function but boast a tiny credit card-sized form factor. The X10 mini comes in six hues while the pro is equipped with a slide-out keyboard.
Symbian fans can opt for the HD-video recording Vivaz ($798, without contract) and Vivaz Pro phones, which can upload pictures and videos to Facebook, Picasa and YouTube. A demonstration showed a 1.2MB photo being uploaded to Facebook in a couple of seconds.
The 8.1-megapixel Vivaz is already available, while its Pro counterpart - available here soon - features a slide-out keyboard and 5.1-megapixel camera.
SE also unveiled three eco-friendly offerings with tree-hugging names - the Aspen business phone, and the Hazel and Elm feature phones promising enhanced voice quality. MAY CHUA
