This Walkman concept comes with a 480 x 800 touchscreen, 16 GB storage space, 256 MB RAM and a 5 megapixel camera with a Xenon flash. The Sony Ericsson W3i also handles connectivity quite well, offering WiFi, UMTS, HSDPA and EDGE support.
Other than that, we’re dealing with a fancy slider that can rival any iPod/music phone.
The connectivity is quite standard (EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/Wi-Fi), while the specs list also includes a 256 MB internal memory, M2 and microSD card support (8 GB max) plus a mini USB and 3.5 mm audio jack.
K5i also comes with XP and Vista support and it can be used as your webcam, with probably better quality than your laptop’s incorporated camera.
We are still waiting for the Experia X1 to have a price and carrier announced, this would likely be AT&T or T-Mobile later this year.
What we like about the Experia X1 is the option of both a high-resolution touch-screen and hardware QWERTY keyboard as navigation options.
The keyboard slides from under the display and will appeal to those that love real buttons to press, although the touch screen will give the phone the benefits of more keys if they update the software in the future or add 3rd party add-ons.
Some people might find this a better option than just having a touch screen like on the Apple iPhone but there are problems with this, you should be aware that the hardware keyboard makes the Experia X1 about a quarter-inch thicker than other touch-screen phones.
If you do not mind a cell phone that’s a little on the thick side, then this could be the choice if your looking for an iPhone alternative. Users looking for thin phones will not like the Experia X1 as it could mean a difference of 40 percent.
Other features and specs of 7205 include a microSD card slot, blutooth, touch sensitive buttons, 2MP camera, and a media player.

Nokia which currently owns Navteq - one of the leading digital mappers in the world - is pretty much competing with stand alone GPS navigation systems with Nokia 6710, offering drive and walk navigation, full regional maps, a dedicated navigator key, a touch area for easy zooming, and a large 2.6″ that’s bright enough to be visible under sunlight.

Nokia Eco Sensor concept includes a wearable sensor unit that will house a number of optional sensors to monitor environment, health and local weather conditions, a dedicated mobile phone and a set of dedicated mobile software applications and services.
All the devices will be made using the latest environment friendly technologies and materials like printed electronics, bio-materials and reclaimed materials. The carrying strap made from solar cells will power the sensor unit and all the devices will “talk” to each other via low power near field radio technologies.
