Normally, we tend to stay away from the played out consumer electronics but this particular one deserved a mention. The reason? This is Sony Ericsson’s first cellphone ever on T-Mobile’s US network. Known as the TM506, it’s a decent clamshell phone that will feature 3G, one of the key selling points for T-Mobile since it just rolled out its US 3G network. UMTS, 2-megapixel camera, HSDPA, A-GPS that can be used with TeleNav, media suite and MyFaves support.

Overall, it looks like a decent phone and a great start for T-Mobile and Sony Ericsson’s relationship. In a weird PR move, neither SE or T-Mo have announced a price. I’m going to take a shot at around $149 with a one-year contract. Take it with a grain of salt.

Did you get a ticket for talking on your cellphone while driving? Man, that sucks. Well, do something about it, get a headset. Better yet, get a headset to feed your nicotine addiction. Making calls is as easy as shouting into this cigarette box.

It’s designed for Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson cellphones or people trying to get over cancer by reminding themselves that this pack is not smokeable. It’s the headset that doesn’t mind getting coughed all over, after all, it’s used to it. I’m amazed by the fact that this $6.79 headset is not only cheaper than a lot of headsets, but it’s also cheaper than cigarettes. What the fuck?

If there’s a company out there that can take on Apple, it’s either Nokia or Sony-Ericsson. The latter company will be coming out with a sleek little cellphone called the C905 in Q4 of this year. It’ll have a really nice QVGA screen, support MS Exchange just like the iPhone 3G, Bluetooth, Xenon flash and some other crap. It sounds like a decent phone already, right? I mean, it’s even quad-band and supports 3G too. So why the boner?

It comes with an 8.1-megapixel camera built into the phone. No longer will you need a camera when you’re out. The iPhone has a 2-megapixel camera for comparison and Sony makes some fantastic technology, so expect this thing to be a BEAST. Rumor is that it’ll retail for about $700 unlocked.

Would you take an unlocked, 8.1-megapixel cameraphone over the iPhone?

So maybe this new Sony Ericsson W200 will only carry 27MB of built-in storage, but its battery life of an estimated 18 hour playback battery life puts your iPod to shame. Don’t worry about the 27MB internal, you can put a Memory Stick Micro card into it and expand to however large a card you want. As far as file formats go, it supports MP3 and AAC, just like the Zune. Because Sony is focusing this product on the media market, there is a dedicated button that goes straight to the media player named Walkman Music Player 1.0. It will be available in Q2 of 2007 and will come in two colors: Rhythm Black and Pulse White. The screen featured here is 128 x 160 and weighs in at 65K-colors. As for the camera on it, it does come with a 4x digital zoom (which you should already know mean nothing, absolutely nothing). No pricing as of yet. — Nik Gomez
