Now passing the crown to the dainty Sony Ericsson Jalou, the “facet cut jewel form” is getting in the spotlight. With the attractive outlook in compact size and glossary mirror, it seems to be a tiny treasure for the pretty women. Well, let’s find out more about it.
It comes with standard stuff: a Battery, a Charger, a handsfree and Manual. Jalou is in diamond shape and a lot less tall than most clamshell phones, measuring just 73 x 45 x 18.2mm when closed. You can easily fit it to the pocket of your skinny jeans or jacket pocket. The outer display which located in the middle of the concave upper panel is for notifying you of incoming calls, received message and shows the time and the information about the song that’s being played.
Jalou is very compact even when you flip it open. Sony Ericsson has gone for this unusual size to make the phone as compact as possible to be a pocket-friendly diamond to the lovely ladies. All the number keys are manufactured in the shape of a rhombus but a bit tiny, together with the diamond D-pad. It looks very stylish. The volume rocker is on the right of the phone. And the connectivity port is at the left side. Remove the battery to reveal the microSD card slot. Standard Sony Ericsson Menu and icons in black and white.

Hey, folks! See what we got in hand? The successor to the Xperia X1, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 with full of industry leading features- the first Windows phone runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and sports 8MP camera with touch focus, bringing Flash support in Internet Explorer Mobile and Microsoft's app store, larger display, new keyboard and navigational keys design. Let’s show you what to expect from the first Windows phone of Sony Ericsson. In the package, we have the phone, a Battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, TV-out cable and Manual. Most of the front of X2 is taken by the 3.2” touch screen which is bigger than the previous (X1 got 3” only), and it's a real fingerprint magnet. Here is the one in Silver. The 4-row QWERTY keyboard of X2 features a new overall design, which is distinctive in terms of shape and design compared to X1. Here is the one in Black. We are definitely pleased at the QWERTY keyboard of X2, as it is very responsive. The only thing is that the plastic material doesn't impress at all. On the top of X2, we find the 3.5mm audio jack which also doubles as a TV-out port. And the power key is just along with it- the same position as on the previous X1.
The back of the X2 is made from stainless steel (actually, it seems like plastic) and is quite immune to fingerprints. It hosts the 8.1MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and the lanyard eyelet is just next to it. On the left side of the device, you may find the microSD slot. It is only accessible after the removal of the back cover. The new version of the Internet Explorer Mobile web browser has received a nicer touch-optimized interface and a cooler design. The large optical trackpad on the front panel is providing high level of enjoyment as well when you brows on the web. For sure, Sony Ericsson is always synonymous with portable media players and cameras. 8.1 MP camera with the Multi Menu packing all the available settings to facilitate the user experience. The X2 runs on Win6.5 which upgrades the old-school ver. 6.1 with a brand-new and much prettier homescreen- displays all your applications and links to system functions in a honeycomb grid and consists of a scrollable list, as on the iPhone. And The Xpanel interface is still there with 14 panels preloaded on the smartphone and 16 others available for download, including those for Skype, CNN, and Google. With all interface improvements and 8MP camera onboard, the Sony Ericson X2 is the top and high-end Windows-powered handsets which give a good run for you money.
I am always impressed with the marketability of LG’s phone. You can tell right away who LG GD580 is targeting at. From its name “Lollipop” to the dynamic and colorful finish to flashy LED icons; LG GD580 is a demonstration of youthful spirit from head to toe. It can be thought as LG’s answer to Samsung’s tasty Croby. Can Lollipop satisfy our appetite for a fantastic phone or is it just some artificial sweetener that looks better than it actually is? The phone is wrapped among a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree, a CD ROM and a user’s guide.
The design of the clamshell phone is class. The rather simplistic cover is embellished with LED lighting. It is slim (13.4mm) and light (103.5g) for a flipphone. The phone can absolutely be a perfect piece of accessory. You have got a 2.8” screen with 240x400 pixel resolution. There is a 1.3MP camera on the inside for you to video-call your buddies. I am always a fan of flipphone not only because the phone screen is more protected, flip phone allows more room for a spacious keyboard. The square buttons you see here is the volume rocker. You have eachHere lies the handsfree/cable portal. I am still bothered with the fact that it has no 3.5mm jack. on either side and you also find the data transfer portal here on the left side.The camera is good one for social occasions. Its wide-screen capability and self-timer is perfect for a party group photo. You have a series of photo-editing tool to fit your creative persona. I am also pleased with the auto sensor that mutes the phone as you reverse it when it rings. You can access the MicroSD and SIM card slot only when you remove the battery cover. That’s the price to pay when you have such slimness.
Like Corby, you have got really cute theme to match the phone’s youthful character. (Perhaps a little too cute for macho men, but I am sure the cheerleader girlfriends would like them!)We first encountered the customizable LED front light in LG’s KF350 Ice Cream. However, that of Lollipop is stronger and better. You can choose different flashing patterns for different situations. The illuminated area is bigger to allow more creative outputs. Other than choosing from the 12 preset icons. You can design your own logos and short motto. I do think it’s interesting. Other than looking glamorous and catchy, LG Lollipop is a practical phone. It has HSDPA connection which is missing from Samsung Corby, Google Package, video calling, Bluetooth 2.0 and FM tuner. If you are young at heart and want a phone to match your uplifting personality. LG Lollipop will not let you down.

I have taken some pictures with my phone, Xperia Mini Pro but I cannot view the pictures after it was taken in the picture gallery. This happened for certain pictures that i took. I've tried to review it in my laptop but still can't. I've checked the pictures details and noted that it were around 600kb and 1MB which meant the pictures are there but I can't view it.
I can't seem to work out how to transfer pictures to my Sony Vivaz Pro. I've tried right clicking on the Sony Ericsson drive thing and clicking explore, going into the image folder and pasting in pictures but that didn't seem to do anything. Then I tried Media Go and copied pictures into the Vivaz Pro bit but it still didn't seem to pick up any pictures on the phone. Also both of these methods seemed to make photos I'd taken with the camera break so I can't view them on the phone, then when I pressed on the "update media" bit the phone doesn't detect any photos I'd taken on the camera at all, however switching the phone off and back on again and it finds them.
Can anyone from around the world with their SE phone take a picture n upload it on ESATO. So we can sharing each other about there city or their live. I will upload my city pictur next time.
Recently my C905 phone camera does not save the picture taken even though on the screen stated saving after that it doesn't show the picture taken like it always do before. But the video mode it safe the clip taken. My memory card size 2G still not 50% full. Now I only can take video shot but not still picture. Phone call, sms, internet radio are in good condition. Whats wrong with my C905? Am I have to changed it with new NOKIA?
My camera won't take any pictures. I click to take a picture makes the shutter noise and then just goes back to the menu and doesn't save the picture. I can take video perfectly fine but it isn't the quality of a regular still picture. I've downloaded and ran the Update Service and it hasn't done a thing to correct the issue of taking a picture.
Seen as I recently got the Elm I thought I would start the photo thread. I have already posted plenty in my review but they would be better in a proper thread. I am now the 2nd person to have one here on Esato. So far I have been impressed with the camera on such a value for money device. As I go along I shall start to take new photos nothing repeated as before. Here are my first in here.
My C905 takes good pictures but I think that they could be sharper, Here is an example of a picture taken in very good sunny conditions:- It's not very sharp is it considering the conditions.
I have an issue with my W705 showing pictures (in picture folder)in the cam album and latest photo under media. Only 9 pictures seem to have an issue. I can't figure out why the phone is picking them up like that. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Searching on Google has got me nowhere.
Congrats K850i, you finally made your name proud. That K850i had potential when it came was no doubt about it. Most people who had K850i understood that it weakness probably was software related (weak color, weak quality, etc.) and look at K850i now.
K850i pictures, they have higher quality (clearer/sharper/deeper) then most new phones such; Elm, Hazel, Yari, c901, X10, you name it. K850i is back from the Dead and here for stay. http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewfullsize.php?id=27399
Today I bought the NEW SE C903. I feel that the picture I took look so weird. After I compare with the picture they put in the forum here are totally different. Especially when Zoom In the Photo. My Picture look blur and something wrong. But the Boss said to me, this is normal/same with all 5MP phone. Here are my Picture.

I just started having problems with the camera in my C905; all the pictures now look blurry, out of focus. The phone was purchased in Dec.2009,and I have contacted SE CSR and will be shipping the phone in for repair. What causes this condition?
I got my MMS setting from my current network but the problem is, whenever I receive MMS pictures, I will receive it in small size, too small I guess, about 3kb. I even try to send MMS to my number but still it will appear in a small size.
The picture from my Sony ericsson elm camera is very bad. Sometime there are an orange or blue lines at the picture.What is the problem?When i look at the other forum, they say it is because of the cam driver problem.Anybody know how to change ELM Cam driver.My Elm cam driver version is v3.8, and I already got cam driver v3.9,but i can't replace it using FAR or others tools (XS++)
After we reseted my W580i phone today the folder Icons which was located in pictures is missing. As far as I remember it was there by default and I had used the pics with different faces for my contacts. Is there any possibility to get back these files?
sometimes while working suddenly the icons are missing and on checking any pic it says too large to display if i restart the phone this thing is solved but i cant do this everytime right so plz help me
I have an Sony Ericsson Elm phone. I use the camera a lot, and I miss the date+time stamp on the pictures. I have searched the menu, and the user manual. Could anyone tell me either of this two: Is it not possible to get a date+time stamp on the pictures? If it is possible, how do I do it?
C905. It's a great phone and I have it for almost a year now. But yesterday I did a firmware update and now if I take a photo with the camera I can't find where it stores it. If I look at my pictures they're not there. I checked my settings and it should be saving the pictures on my memory card. I checked the remaining space on my memory card after taking picture and it changes. If I take a pictures it also says it's saving it. If I let it save on the mobile phone itself I can find them and I can find my videos on my memory card too.
I'm trying to download a new software update for my W760a, because it tells me it cannot add anymore contacts and I can't recieve or send texts/ phone calls. When I try to go to the software updates on the W760a hompepage, it loads a blank page. It just says on the tab "Sony Ericsson Support Phones Topic Updateserviceapplication W760a", and loads a blank page. Please help me with this problem as I wish to continue using my new phone.
I thought I may start an Elm/Hazel thread for discussion as it seems many of you have one of the two phones now. I wanted to do this to discuss any problems with things like firmware & issues & other stuff rather than discussing this in the picture thread.

I think the fone fell, cause it was dusty or maybe its because it was charged using the USB cable. What can be the possible cause of the phone not to turn ON?
As the title implies, I need to ask if there are varying kinds of Sony Ericsson LCD screens for the G705 or if there are variations in models made. Nearly 6 months ago I bought a Sony Ericsson G705 phone off eBay that only needed a new LCD screen. Well I purchased a screen off eBaand was good to go except for a few minor issues... 1.) The LCD screen had a thicker screen/border than the original so I had to mod it by taking off the white border around it. 2.) The ribbon that connects the LCD screen to the G705's keypad wasn't aligned correctly causing it to disconnect from the keypad every so often. This too I had to fix by sticking some paper underneath where the connector sits. It worked after the modifications but the end result is the keypad was raised causing issues where pushing the up key would force it to push the left key too. Unfortunately after awhile the screen stopped working likely due to the fact the different layers were separating. I gave in and bought a new screen from an online dealer elsewhere just to get scammed in the end with a broken LCD screen which they refused to replace claiming I cracked it. So now I've purchased a new screen of eBay yet this one has issues too, it's thinner than the first one I got, but has the same problem where the ribbon doesn't appear to be aligned correctly either. This time however, I get some ugly dead pixels in the lower left corner of the screen and the rest is completely jumbled with white lines going through it. I've already contacted the seller for an exchange and am about to lose all hope getting this phone working. Anyway, back to the topic. Do the screens in the G705 vary from region to region or between versions? When I got it I found the phone was from Hong Kong (firmware was HK anyway.) though the manual and included paperwork suggested it was from France. The screens I have purchased seemed to have varying differences between either the thickness is too wide, the ribbon doesn't fit the correct position, or some other incompatibility. I bought this phone.
Please help someone I have encountered my first Elm problem. Over night I charged the phone & this morning it's still charging & will not pass 66% charge. I took battery out put back in & charged with the phone off for another hour. When switched back on it was now @ 65% This was after another hour of charging with the phone off. I then did a master reset of all not just settings. Charged it up again for a further hour & still the charge is not increasing. Please help what the hell is going on? This battery has a mind of it's own. I have a feeling something has occured since I kept plugging & unplugging quite often the phone in & out of my pc. So maybe it's caused this I do not know. Please any suggestions this phone has been reliable upto this piont Esato Awards King of Garbage 2009/2010 & Best Debater 2009 x10 & Nokia N8
