News has been leaked onto the internet about two new Sony Ericsson mobile phones due out later this year. The two phones are the Sony Ericsson G502 and the Sony Ericsson P1 and they should be announced officially by the mobile manufacturer later this week – when more information will be known about the specifications.
First the G502 which by all accounts looks like a pretty standard mobile from Sony Ericsson, much like the K660i that has recently been released. It will be a candybar shaped mobile with a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 32MB internal memory and 3G / HSDPA.
There is nothing truly spectacular about the Sony Ericsson G502, but that does not necessarily mean it is a poor quality phone. Sony Ericsson mobiles are generally good quality, even the 2 megapixel camera will be of a high standard image on the screen. And the HSDPA should set it apart from a few other mobiles on the market.
Finally there is the Sony Ericsson P5, which is the new smartphone offering from the popular manufacturer. Slightly less is known about this mobile, but what few things we do know are very exciting. The Sony Ericsson P5 is a smartphone with a qwerty keypad hidden under the slide part. It will be a smartphone running off the latest UIQ 3.3 UI for Symbian operating system, with a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA.
So the P5 really is the one to watch, there is no word on release dates for either of the new Sony Ericsson’s – more information will be made available once the phones are officially announced.

Okay so almost every smartphone that has been released in the past year or so is compared to the iPhone, and more recently to the rumoured 3G iPhone. The Samsung i900 (which as usual has a name as well as a model number – Samsung Omnia) is actually a very close competitor to the Apple iPhone in both specifications and looks, and should also give the HTC Touch Diamond a run for its money.
The Samsung i900 has just been officially announced by the mobile phone manufacturer, along with its full specifications – including the fact that it will run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, which should please smartphone users. The Samsung i900 is fully touchscreen with just three buttons on the very bottom of the phone (answer call, end call and menu), the front panel is encased in a silver edging and has an attractive brushed steel back panel.
The main characteristics that make it similar to the iPhone are the two different models that will be available – 8GB and 16GB, the large 3.2 inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi function and accelerometer – which allows you to rotate the screen (from portrait to landscape and back again) and the image or picture will rotate accordingly to fit the screen.
As well as the above the Samsung i900 also has a fantastic 5 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, inbuilt GPS, a media player capable of playing MP3, DivX and WMA files, an FM radio, and HSDPA for fast internet speeds.
Despite the Samsung i900 being available in both 8GB and 16GB models both will also come with a microSD card slot for further memory expansion – so storage really should not be a problem. And of course you have the usual Bluetooth, USB and Microsoft document viewer that you would expect on a smartphone.
The Samsung i900 is due for release in July which should coincide with the release of the Apple iPhone 3G version.
