Mobile Phone Guide

, Sony Ericsson

So Sony Ericsson’s really playing up the fact that they’re announcing something tomorrow, but it’s anybody’s guess at this point just what it might be. There’s no shortage of theories: the W999i, the Sofia — but the rumor that’s really picking up steam right now is that SE will drop three new Bluetooth wristwatch models. Really, it makes sense seeing how there’s a big box on the teaser site that kinda looks like it could be holding a watch. Specifically, it’s being said over on Esato that there will be three models announced, all of which will be smaller than the gargantuan original. One will be called the MBW-150, one will be Walkman branded, and two will have leather straps while the third will sport metal (starting to sound a little like a logic puzzle, isn’t it?). Unlike the MBW-100, it sounds like all three will support AVRCP for music control. Thankfully, it’s less than 24 hours until we get the official scoop.

, BenQ-Siemens, GSM

We’ve certainly seen our fair share of Hello Kitty products — heck, we’ve even gone through a few Hello Kitty cellphones — but what BenQ-Siemens’ Hello Kitty AL61 lacks in originality, it makes up in brand recognition (bear in mind the last Hello Kitty-themed handset we saw came from Taiwan’s OKWAP). The AL61 is a fairly pedestrian slider, offering a marginal 130 x 130 display with not a camera to be found, but of course the draw here is what you get on the side: themed wallpapers, ringtones, games, and so on, not to mention the soft pink / translucent white case that only a die-hard Hello Kitty fan could love. Look for the handset to land in markets worldwide as soon as this month. Or, as in our case, don’t look for it.

, Motorola, Windows Mobile, 1xRTT, EV-DO, CDMASeeing how the original Q came to CDMA first, it’d only make sense that the updated version of the now-ubiquitous QWERTY smartphone — currently announced only in GSM / HSDPA form as the Q9h — would return to its roots. Morning Paper (the folks that brought us the Palm Gandolf) is reporting that the Motorola “Nelson” is getting prepped as we speak, offering up Windows Mobile 6, a 2 megapixel cam, miniSD expansion, Bluetooth, and EV-DO data in an “ultra thin” package. As you might recall, the Q9h originally got passed around as the “Norman,” so “Nelson” would be a totally appropriate name for a CDMA counterpart. Sprint’s getting passed around as a potential carrier for this one (seems logical enough to us) but we’ll have to wait this one out for a little more detail before calling it a done deal.
