Sony Ericsson has announced its latest mobile phone, the T707, with tennis star and style icon Maria Sharapova, who perfectly epitomizes the phone’s sleek and elegant qualities.

The T707 truly interacts with the user — it lights up when you receive a call and you can personalize the light settings for each of your friends, so you always know who wants you.

If you are too busy to answer, simply end the call with a wave of your hand over the screen; you can also do the same gesture to snooze the alarm.

“The T707 is my ultimate new accessory,” said Sharapova. “I’m always on the go and I need a phone that is easy to use, and of course chic as well,” she said.

“I never miss a call with the eye-catching light effects and personalized pulsation settings and I love the fact that I can just wave my hand to mute a call using the gesture control. I can also use my practical and stylish Bluetooth headset HBH-PV715 to take my calls, check my e-mails and blog to my website from the phone. It’s great to have a phone that looks good but also lets me keep up-to-date with everything I need,” she added.

Coordinate the T707 with any outfit, as it comes in a rainbow range of three clamshells to suit every mood. Whatever you wear will be perfectly captured by the 3.2-megapixel camera, making sure that you stand out on screen as much as you do in real life.

The photos can then be uploaded to your personal social networking site using the HTML Web browser, so you and your friends can keep up to date wherever you are. Read the rest of this entry

SkyCable braces for the rest of the year with another major undertaking to give better service to its growing subscriber base.

The cable TV service provider makes an aggressive stance in the Internet market with the launch of SkyBroadband, which it touts as the fastest residential broadband Internet service in the country today.

The service pushes the limits in Internet connection by providing up to 12 Mbps download speed, which is four times faster than any residential DSL.

Since SkyBroadband uses cable lines with higher bandwidth that can carry more data, it allows faster Web navigation as well as quick and seamless downloads of big files from the Internet, ideal for home networks and subscribers who use multiple applications in any given Internet session.

Formerly known as ZPDee Cable Internet, SkyBroadband was launched to align with the “Sky” brands that have been paving the way for groundbreaking innovations. Read the rest of this entry

In response, Smart Communications Inc. introduced the Smart Gold Lite, a mix of industry-first postpaid subscription plans that are low-cost and high-value, and answer the evolving needs and preferences of subscribers.

“It is no longer about getting the specific handset model that they want, which drives them to sign up for a particular postpaid plan. Our experience shows they will sign up for a plan, whether or not it comes with a handset, only if it is affordable and within their monthly budgets,” said Annie Naval, Smart head of consumer acquisition, loyalty, and marketing services.

Come end this month, the newest and most anticipated high-performance mobile phone of the year is set to make its debut.

The innovative and uniquely styled Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 hits stores on Nov. 28.

Keeping in mind the multi-faceted lives individuals lead, constantly trying to balance hectic work and social lives, Sony Ericsson’s standout arc-slider phone aims to deliver a seamless blend of mobile Web communication and personal multimedia entertainment in a single user-friendly and stylish device.

“Mobile broadband’s coming of age is opening up a vast array of multimedia services and content which consumers can access on the move through their mobile phones,” said Dennis Manzano, Sony Ericsson general manager.

“XPERIA is Sony Ericsson’s vision of how premium, energized mobile communication should be,” he said.

The XPERIA X1, which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, brings personalization to a whole new level. Access information and applications exactly the way you like through a unique interface of nine different and customizable panels. Choose how you want information to be presented and which items you want quick access to.

For example, the Sony Ericsson Panel can be personalized to fit you at work. At one glance, view upcoming meetings on the calendar, read e-mails and customize RSS feeds.

Take a break from work and access multimedia from the Media Panel or feed virtual goldfish in the 3D Fish Panel. Bringing personalization beyond wallpapers and mobile skins, the X1’s customizable panel interface puts things that matter to the user, a finger touch away.

Sporting a compact stainless steel body and the world’s first arc-slider design, the elegant device provides the ultimate converged mobile experience while letting the user run his world, his way.

Choose from a dynamic range of activities one can do anytime, anywhere — from enjoying a favorite movie on a three-inch DVD quality screen to working efficiently with Microsoft Windows Mobile to browsing the Web and making fast downloads with HSDPA or Wi-Fi, and finding one’s way around with Google Maps.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will be available at concept shops nationwide on Nov. 28. To order in advance, log on to http://www.bethefirstx1.com.
