Sony Ericsson to release W660 “PINK” edition
Sony Ericsson have recruited female artist PINK to promote the latest stylish Walkman phone. the Sony Ericsson w660. This special PINK edition is basically a red rose version of the W660 with a special I “SE logo” PINK on the back as you can see in the picture above.
This is the first time Sony Ericsson have use an I on their phones and my guess is they are aiming to attract more young buyers.
Samsung SGH-F300 Photo
The Samsung Ultra Music F300 is a dual-faced phone, now what do I mean by that! well On one side is a large, clear screen with a sweep touch key that makes music control simple. When you turn the phone over to the other side it’s a normal phone. This is a unique and novel idea from Samsung that I’m sure adds usability to the phone.

iPhone Rumour : O2 wins UK contract?
I’ve been keeping away for iPhone news for a while as there’s so much information on the web about it. But, as you can guess from the title it’s rumoured that O2 have won the contract to sell this in the UK.
The Times and The Guardian as well as online - are reporting that UK carrier O2 will be exclusively selling Apple’s already-iconic phone in time for Christmas.
It would be nice if it’s hits the Irish market at the same time, it’s expect the phone will cost £300 in the UK and a 12-18 month contract.
I guess well just have to wait and see what happens in the next few months
