Woah! Just when we thought that Sony Ericsson will be sticking to Windows Mobile for its XPERIA line of phones, here they are announcing the XPERIA Pureness. Here’s the press release that they made at London today:
Sony Ericsson shows new Xperia™ Pureness at London brand event
September 3rd 2009 - Today at a business update meeting, Sony Ericsson showed the new Xperia™ Pureness, a simple design phone which brings together beautiful craftsmanship and the concept of “talk, text, time - a holiday from technology”. The Xperia™ Pureness will be officially launched in November 2009 through selected retail distribution channels in key cities around the world.
The handset was shown to media attending an event to launch Sony Ericsson’s new brand direction where the company also confirmed its alignment under the Sony make.believe brand message.
Xperia™ Pureness approaches the mobile phone as a work of art rather than technology. The company’s designers aimed to sculpt an object of design that reflected the purity of water and a sense of calmness when not in use.
More details on Xperia™ Pureness will be available when the phone launches in November 2009.
Sony Ericsson has just announced the XPERIA X2. Contrary to rumors that the next XPERIA will be using a different OS, the X2 will still run Windows Mobile 6.5.
There’s been a long time ago some news were posted here, and I guess it’s time for an update - The X1 is not dead yet!

Whether it’s a software/utility recommendation, a little trick, or a simple tweak that doesn’t require a registry editor, all of the following tips are sure to enhance and improve the Xperia X1’s user experience.
These tips can be used in any order and combination, so feel free to pick and choose.”
Good news for Mac users. A new version of Salling Media Sync (v1.0.2) has been released adding support to the XPERIA X1. Salling Media Sync allows you to sync music, playlists, and podcasts from iTunes to your X1.
According to the website:
Salling Media Sync does not copy DRM-protected media, as it wouldn’t play on your device. When buying music from the iTunes Store, we recommend looking for items labelled “iTunes Plus”. Music that has been ripped from CDs in MP3 or M4A format will sync without problems.
