The “real” Skarven spotted!
February 5, 2008
Our Editor In-Chief, Dario Soltani posted about a Motorola UIQ 3 smartphone codenamed “Skarven“, in early December 2007 and now, 2 months later, a “real” Skarven is spotted and it could be announced int MWC 2008 next week as Motorola Z12.
Judging from the photo, it seems that Motorola will bring another Multimedia centric device to the market and looks like it will use the newly announced UIQ 3.2 same as the Z10. If all are true, then this year 2008 will be an interesting journey for UIQ fans! Bring it on, Motorola!

The first “real” glance of Sony Ericsson’s next UIQ 3 smartphone
February 5, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen. Dont you like rumours? It makes us alive and energetic aint it? Our friends over at The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog had some convincing evidence of what seems to be the device codenamed “BeiBei” which is believed to be a UIQ 3 Walkman smartphone. Here is how it looks like :
It’s a slim Walkman smart phone running UIQ with a touch screen, 3.2 mega pixels camera and a front scroll wheel instead of joystick. Next week, at 3GSM, we should **see** the real thing, together with “P5? and one other UIQ device (hopefully).

Is ‘Xperia’ Sony Ericssons rumored P5i or is it a webservice?
January 17, 2008
On the 10th of January Sony Ericsson filed for trademark protections for something(s?) called ‘Xperia’ at the US patent and trademark office, also known as the USPTO. Xperia was referred to ‘cellular or mobile phones featuring the capacity to function in any number of extra ways beyond just as a phone’. As the Sony Ericssons trademark application leaked to the Internet community a new wave of rumors started, most of them claiming Xperia should or could be the Sony Ericsson P5i.
We’ve previously reported on the yet to be announced Sony Ericsson P5i in our posts ‘First glimpse of the Sony Ericsson P5i?‘ and ‘Sony Ericsson P5i with a new UIQ 3.2 interface?‘. If this baby ever sees daylight it will certainly be Sony Ericsson’s best smartphone up to date. Rumors are the P5i will feature a 5 megapixel camera (which would explain the model number), Wifi, GPS, HDSPA and HSUPA (for faster upload speeds indicating better support blogging and uploading images and videos to online services such as YouTube and Flickr?), a huge 2.8 inch VGA display (480×640 pixels) and a slider form factor.
The big question now is of course is Xperia a device, a product line or could it even be a service?
