Handset Rankings: Nokia Leads, And Android ’ s Not A Panacea

No less than three analysts houses have posted
their global handset rankings for the last
quarter, and, despite losing overall market
share (as Nokia (NYSE: NOK) itself admitted last week ), Nokia still heads the the lists for IDC, Strategy Analytics and ABI Research — both in handsets overall and smartphones. Something

Sony ericson XPERIA -HALON

Another Android-running Sony Ericsson handset
leaked today. Unlike most of its rumorland
fellows the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Halon enjoyed
an extensive preview, rather than just a few
blurry shots. Even better, the smartphone passed
the test with flying colors and looks like one of the hot prospects for this year. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Halon (also referred to as Vivaz 2 by the reviewer Eldar Murtazin) is built
around the Qualcomm MSM7630 Snapdragon
platform, featuring a 1GHz Scorpion CPU and the
Adreno 205 GPU. There is 512 MB of RAM on
board so you can bet the Vivaz 2 won't have
trouble with multi-tasking. The display of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz 2 is larger
than that of the original Vivaz, though we are not
sure how big exactly it is. The FWVGA resolution
(480 x 854 pixels) and the Gingerbread version
of the Android operating system are confirmed
though. The Hallon also makes use of Sony Ericsson BRAVIA Mobile engine for the display. There's an 8 megapixel camera with a backlit
Exmor R sensor at the back, capable of recording
video of up to 720p resolution. It's the same unit
as in the XPERIA Arc so you could expect pretty
pleasing images, we guess. e XPERIA Halon user interface is identical to
what we saw on the XPERIA Arc. You can check
out our preview to find out what that looks like. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Halon should be
officially announced at the MWC next month. It is
expected to hit the shelves in April, asking for an
estimated € 320-350.
