I still have P910i with me. SE was very innovative from the start.

My first SE phone was the 1st ever 3G phone. It was really thick and you have to twist not flip the keypad. It's camera was good at that time. I forgot what model it was. W something. Too bad it's not on the list.

great phones.innovartive.but now,sony is not innovating.they are not giving us quad core and 4.7 inch screens. why,sony!

Whats innovating about something everybody is doing? I find their designs to be very different in a good way. Together with Nokia they are the only 2 companies who actually try to differentiate.

Sorry, but fitting 4.7" screen and quadcore in a handset is not an innovation.

R.I.P. Sony Ericsson - had much fun with W810, W995, X10, Play, and Arc. Arc S is gonna be my last SE phone :)

The best SE product ever IMO was C 702.
Had they released it with 5mp camera, xenon flash, and Wi-Fi (instead of K850 model ), it would be a legend.
Besides thatI had T 630, K750, C 502, Vivaz, and now arc.
They're all still in use, never had any problem apart from joystick repair on K750.

It's awesome to see this. Before Sony Ericsson, it was just Ericsson, and still pretty awesome. The R280LX, and the t28 world phone. Then I had the t68, the t68i, the t610, and finally, the w750. Still have the t68. I loved Ericsson. I think that was when my preoccupation with phone tech began, with the t68. Thanks for this article of great memories, and paying credit to Ericsson ;)

Alleged Samsung Galaxy S4 Active photos show rugged yet slim chassis
It stood out with its brilliant design for the time with curvy edges, a joystick instead of a navigational key and relatively compact dimensions. The display supported 256 colors and while you might laugh now, back then this was a feast for your eyes. The screen resolution was 101x80 pixels and even MMS messages (at the time, not supported by many carriers). It was packed with features as well - Bluetooth, GPRS, tri-band support, SMS and customizable ring tones. Yes, it was a dream come true in a world of monochrome displays, and it gave a glowing start to the Sony Ericsson brand!
