Ericsson Gets Deal to Exapnd Chinese Mobile Network
When dealing with the Chinese market, most American and European companies would be criticized for succumbing to the whims of this strict regime. Even Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! weren’t spared from this. But the general response to such criticisms is that it’s better to open up the market, such that some information flow and exchange would occur–this is better than having nothing at all.
BusinessWeek has a brief report.
Wireless equipment maker LM Ericsson on Monday announced deals worth more than US$550 million to expand mobile networks in 17 Chinese regions.
Ericsson said the contracts were signed with China Mobile during the first half of 2006, and includes providing the country’s major cell-phone operator with GSM network equipment and technical support. The expanded networks will support more than 200 million subscribers, Ericsson said.
Ericsson, which is in the top leagues in wireless equipment manufacturing and sales, has been dealing with China Mobile since 1987, and this deal would further strengthen their position as a top equipment provider. And arguably, helping improve on the Chinese telecommunications infrastructure would be helpful to the country’s citizens, in general, as this would help in communications and information exchange.
Hottest Mobile Phones this Summer
Laptop Magazine previews and reviews five mobile phones they consider to be should-buys this summer, and they are as follows.
The Motorola Q. It’s a smartphone, and it says Windows Mobile 5.0 (up to you if that’s good or bad). Personally, I think this is cool, as you can do all sorts of wonderful stuff on a Windows Mobile powered smartphone, and I’m a fan of being able to seamlessly sync with Outlook. It’s like having a full-fledged Windows-based PDA in a mobile phone form factor. The phone even supports EV-DO connectivity, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera. Memory is also expandable via Mini-SD. Only disadvantage, though, is that the Moto Q doesn’t have touchscreen.
Retail price: $199 with 2-year contract.
Palm Treo 700P. It’s PalmOS-based so whether it’s good or bad depends on your OS preference. But Palm still lives by the KISS principle–that is, keep it simple, stupid! You get blazing power in your hands but with a simple and no-nonsense UI. You can connect broadband via Sprint’s EV-DO service or Verizon’s Wireless broadband service. The Treo 700P also sports a 1.3-megapixel camera for those days you forget to bring your real digital camera with you.
Retail price: $399 with 2-year contract and after rebate.
Sony Ericsson W810i. It’s a SonyEricsson, so the interface and operating system are proprietary. If you can live with that, consider that this, being a W-series phone, is a Walkman, and actually has strong portable music player features. You can even use your own earphones or high-fidelity noise-cancelling headphones as the phone uses a standard 3.5-mm stereo jack! It even has a 2-megapixel camera. Again, I’m not a fan of these itty-bitty things that take poor pictures, but it’s a convenient feature to have.
Retail price: $399.
Samsung SCH-a930. The a930 clamshell looks more like an MP3 player than a phone. But you might be able to forgive the design shortcomings considering the low price. For this price, you get dedicated music controls and a dedicated external screen for displaying track information. Memory is also expandable up to 1GB via MicroSD. You also get access to Verizon’s V CAST music service. Hey, you also have a 1.3-megapixel camera. IT rotates, this time, whatever you’d need that for (perfect for voyeur photography, I guess).
Retail price: $99.99 (after $50 rebate).
LG Fusic. Fus-what? Strange name aside, the Fusic looks interesting, but lacks appeal in design. It has that control wheel reminiscent of the iPod’s, but sports a protruding antenna, which I find un-cool. The Fusic works with the Sprint music store, or you can transfer MP3s and AACs via USB (sounds familiar). It also has Bluetooth stereo support and–yes–a 1.3-megapixel camera. What’s great is you can plug in the phone into your laptop for use as an EV-DO modem. I’m foreseeing a visit from Apple’s patent lawyers, though, with the way the Fusic mimics the iPod’s control wheel.
Retail price: $179 with 2-year contract.
Looks like it’s smartphones and MP3-playing phones for Laptop Magazine this summer.
White Sony Ericsson w810i
White on technology makes it better, right?
Well, maybe not, but that does not mean that it doesn’t look nicer. After the success of the white Sony Ericsson W900, it is not a surprise that they are releasing their w810i available in white this July/August.
The white edition will of course cost more, as Sony prefers black, just like Apple prefers white.
The cellphone will have the same specs as its darker cousin and come with a grey headset and memory card. So that means you will be getting an EDGE enabled cell phone with a 2 megapixel camera, quad-band support, USB 2.0, Memory Stick Pro Duo of up to 2GB, and 22MB of internal memory.

Sony Ericsson K800i Review
3G.co.uk recently reviewed the Sony Ericsson K800i, a Cyber-Shot branded cell phone.
The K800i is the first Sony Ericsson handset to sport the Cyber-shot brand name from Sony’s famous standalone digital camera series. Sony Ericsson has enlisted the science dudes at Sony imaging to help develop the Cyber-shot phone series and make it the closet yet to your dedicated digital shutterbug in terms of features and functionality.
The K800i accommodates a 3.2-megapixel lens with autofocus, built-in Xenon flash, image stabilising technology and a splendid new shooting mode called BestPic (see ‘Take your best shot’ box out for an in-depth look). Not to mention that it hurtles around at 3G speeds.
In the end they gave the K800i a rating of 91%, as its only negative points were really the lack of an optical zoom for the camera, and a new MemoryStick format that you’d need to get a card for.
Sony Ericsson W810i Review
PC Magazine recent reviewed the increasingly popular Sony Ericssono W810i.
The best phone of 2005 still shines in 2006. The Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman phone is a minor update to the all-around excellent W800i Walkman, and unlike its predecessor, it will be offered directly by a U.S. carrier. The W810i does everything very well, if not perfectly: calling, gaming, photos, and music. But without an easy connection to PC music jukeboxes, it’s still not quite a “Walkman.”
In the end they give it a four out of five as this handset continues to get positive nods from everyone reviewing it.
Sony Ericsson W810i Review
Mobile Burn reviews the Sony Ericsson W810i, and in the title of the review they call it the “Fabulous W810i”, so I don’t doubt that they are going to say they like it.
Physically, the W810 is about the same size and shape as the W800 before it. It weighs 98.8g (3.5oz) with SIM and memory card and measures 100mm x 46mm x 19mm (3.9″ x 1.8″ x .75″) in size. The new keypad design is not all that different from that found in the W800, except that there is now space between each column of keys as well as each row. This makes the new keys a bit smaller, but realistically has no impact at all on usability. The new control cluster underneath the display has changed quite a bit, though. The joystick has been replaced with a reasonable d-pad that has been marked for music control.
At the end of the review they give it a highly recommeded rating thanks to the great multimedia functions, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, and quad-band GSM/EDGE abilities. The downsides of the W810i were its weak speakerphone and lack of Bluetooth stereo support.
