What You Should Know about Sony Cell Phone

Sony and Ericsson brought a unique trait to the Sony cell phone as a product that won the market of mobile communications. Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita were the founders of the Sony Corporation, although they did not envisage the creation of the Sony cell phone. The company’s headquarters are at Minato, Tokyo, Japan. As a corporation, Sony services a huge electronics market that includes not only phones but video stations, TV sets, computers, semiconductors, play stations and other consumer electronics as well. In 2008 the company’s total income was US$ 4 billion from the total revenue of US$ 100 billion. Plus, the number of employees working in Sony facilities worldwide was around 180,000.

Historically speaking, Sony has been notable for their standards for new recording and storage technologies, as they did not adopt those discoveries issued by other manufacturers and standard bodies. The standard products designed and manufactured over the years include Umatic (~1968), Betamax (1975), Betacam (81), Compact Disc (82), 3.5 inch Floppy Disk (82), Video8 (85), DAT (87), Hi8 (88), Minidisc (~90), Digital Betacam (~90), miniDV (92), Memory Stick (98), Digital8 (99), PSP Universal Media Disc (~2003), HDV (~2004), Blu-ray Disc (2006). So, Sony is mainly known for these consumer electronics rather than for cell phones which they started developing in cooperation with Ericsson only. Therefore, although you may refer to them as Sony cell phone products, you would actually discuss Sony Ericsson phones.

After their association, Sony and Ericsson became famous in the field of cell phone design due to their Walkman and Cyber-shot phones, getting to the fifth place among the top companies of the world, after LG, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola. In March 2005, the K750i with a 2 megapixel camera Sony cell phone was introduced on the market together with its platform mate, the W800i which was the first of a series of very successful Walkman phones able to do 30 hours of music playback as well as two low-end phones. No later than October in the same year, another Sony cell phone – the P990 – was released, being the first cellular using UIQ 3.

Another successful Sony cell phone belongs from the Cyber-shot brand. This one – the K750, had the release in 2005 and became one of the most popular Sony Ericsson phones. Unlike the Walkman had the disadvantage of a poor camera, the Cyber-shot phone included both great cameras and decent viewing media.
