Sony Ericcson

It appears to me that phone manufacturers are releasing new mobile phone models at a quickening pace. It used to be that you could have a phone for over a year without it looking dated. However, in the iPhone Era, if you bought a phone 6 months ago, you are already two years behind the times (even if the phone you bought was an iPhone). The Age of the Disposible Mobile Phone is seemingly incongruous in the increasingly environmentalist milieu of western society. However, I am certain that when someone finds a way to make money by selling a "Green" phone all of the other phone makers will jump on board. For now, though, we will have to content ourselves with the cycle of "man, I need a new phone" to "just bought a new phone joy" to "look at that guy's newer phone envy" to "damn, why am I stuck with this Zack Morris phone" and back to "man, I need a new phone".

One just-released phone that I am looking forward to trying out is the Nokia E71. Personally I am a big fan of phones that feature WiFi, GPS, full qwerty keypads, and sleek Scandinavian styling--what is not to love? Another great reason to love this phone is that it is now supported by EQO.

You may or may not have noticed, but we have added a whole host of new phones to our supported list of the Nokia, Sony Ericcson and Samsung varietals.

We'd known that the W810 was coming out for quite some time and we were 99% sure that we could support it no problem. However, we hadn't been able to test it because Sony Ericsson has not yet released the W810 emulator and we can't get our hands on a phone just yet. But thanks to a helpful user who gave EQO Mobile a shot on his own phone, we can confirm that it does work and formally announce support for this handy little walkman. Thanks!

There are a few more new Sony Ericsson phones that we've been unable to test but are quite sure will work. If you have one of the following and would like to give EQO a try and help us out then send me an email, chris@eqo.com, and I'll get you going:

K310, K510, K610, K790, K800, M600, V630, W300, W710, W850, W950, Z525, Z530, Z710

What's in it for you? You get the honour of being the person who brought EQO to your compatriots with the same phone and a snappy EQO T-Shirt.

Sincerely,

Chris
