Along with the fairly staid C5 phone, Nokia today announced a new structure for its phone series – as we heard a few weeks back. Now, all Nokia phones will come in four different classes – the classic C-series, entertainment and media-themed X-series, business E-series and flagship “high end” N-series. [Nokia Conversations]
Sony wowed us this morning with its Vaio X Series, but details are now emerging. According to this video, the .55-inch thin system may be more netbook than notebook. It has an 11.2-inch screen and possibly an Atom CPU. More »
The Vaio we’ve known Sony’s had in them: The X-Series is built with carbon fibre, so it’s just 0.55 inches thick and weighs 0.68kg (half a MacBook Air). And Sony’s promising crazy battery life. [Engadget]
The least tempting thing about 3′s X-Series so far has been the handset range: for such an inspiring network concept, the handsets were what I like to call Minogues… as in Danni. Nice enough, but there are others you’d rather spend your time with. But NOW! Things are looking a little more Kylie…
The line up has now got some of the best smartphones around on board, with the Palm Treo 750, the RAZR V3xx, and — my personal fave — the DoPod 838Pro (I just loves me the side sliding full QWERTY smarties). Other current lust objects, the Nokia N95 and the LG Shine, get a “will be announced shortly” tag.
X-Series is hot. When they get Skype to do In/Out (they swear it is purely a software issue right now, not some block on over the air VoIP), it will be … more hot. Question is, can you handle it? Okay, the real question is, do you have the right reception? I can, and I do, so I do. -Seamus Byrne
