    On the article "Sony killed the PlayStation phone" where you said "people blame Sony for the tragedy", I honestly agree with the notion.
    The Xperia Play was a solid phone, and they didn't support it one bit, and at the same time, they released the Vita, an actual PlayStation. And like the Xperia Play, they didn't support and killed IT too. And their Xperia line was a solid line, but they always fumbled them in one way or another too, but when Ericsson was still involved, they were truly solid.
    Sony with mobile devices is like water and oil, except oil and water probably go together better.

      This is exactly what the first "Sony mobile" phone suffered; the Xperia S.
      The phone at release was solid, but already one Android version behind the competition. And the updates were so slow and underperformed in terms of features, performance and battery life.
      This phone had a very interesting and tragic story because they were tons of rumors saying that the Ericsson division were very keen to develop good software and update the phone regularly, but Sony Mobile didn't want them to be the star of the show, like a thing of honor being a Japanese company, but also arrogants not wanting the other part of the company being better than them.
      The results were disastrous for the lifespan of the phone. Even though it got 2 major android updates (at release already one version behind the rest), there were many delays in those firmware updates and fixes for the complaints people had about some features and software back in the day.
      Oh and a funny facts about this model is that even though it's a Sony mobile phone, it has the Sony Ericsson logo on the back. 😅

      Calling the Xperia Play a solid phone is an overstatement. after 2 months of use it was already so slow and unresponsive that you wish you bought another phone instead and then the hinges broke. Unfortunately that didn't stop me from buying 2 other Sonys after it, I had the Xperia Z and Xperia Z3. The Xperia Z screen cracked after 3 months, I bought another screen and back glass for it, never got to use it properly because the back glass always cracked. The Xperia Z3 screen was better but the back glass came loose and eventually cracked also. You were almost afraid to look and touch them because they were so fragile. Never again Sony

    You mentioned what is in my opinion the biggest nail in Sony Ericsson's coffin - Memory Stick.
    Sony stuck with the Memory Stick long after all of their competitors standardised around MicroSD. If you were upgrading from a phone from a manufacturer that wasn't from Sony Ericsson and had a bunch of media on a MicroSD, what Sony did was vendor lock *OUT.*
    Nail 2 in Sony Ericsson's coffin - not putting a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on their Walkman phones and sticking with the propietary Ericsson connector.
    Also, regarding gaming phones, hilariously, we would eventually get the Xperia Play.
    And the thing about UIQ is, it was never as popular as Nokia's UIs and Series 60 and UIQ were mutually incompatible. They were both interfaces for the same OS - Symbian, but Series 60 apps wouldn't run on UIQ so UIQ had a serious lack of software problem.
    Finally, my current phone is a Sony, spiritually a Sony Ericsson phone. And it takes a MicroSD card!

      My Sony Xperia 1V has a headphone jack and takes MicroSD cards without the need for an adaptor (it's dual physical SIM and takes an eSIM, so theoretically triple SIM, but one of the physical SIMS goes in the MicroSD slot - an annoying feature of more than a few dual SIM phones)
      And I do have to speak from personal experience, I was actually put off from Sony Ericsson phones by their use of Memory Stick, Memory Stick Mini and eventually M2.
      There was no way to get a MicroSD to M2 adaptor, the two cards were the same size!
      Also, why buy an adaptor when that Motorola, Samsung, Nokia etc just took MicroSD cards?
      And I say this as the former owner of a GA628, T10, T65, T300, T610 and X10 Mini Pro, the last of which was an Android phone with a headphone socket and took a MicroSD card. I wouldn't have bought the X10 Mini Pro otherwise.

    Sony Ericsson was a true love for me. I had so many phones from them - 5x K750i, W800, K550, P910, P990, K850, C905, W995, Vivaz, Satio, Xperia X1 and my most favored W900. Flashing Main and FS, new FW from another model, new camdrivers, flash menu, vkp patches...man, so many memories. Thanks for this vid, it made my day 🤩

    This video made me recall how many Ericsson and Sony-Ericsson phones I owned back in the 90's. GA318, GF337, GH388, GA628, GH688, GF768, GF788, T10s, T18s, T28s, T68i, T610i, K750i, K618i, K800i, W880i, U1 Satio. I worked at a cell phone shop that took trade-ins and that allowed me to change phones every few months for relatively cheap. Ericsson made good, robust phones that were quite stylish for the time, especially the flip-down models and the incredibly thin (again, for the time) T28. Although in terms of UI friendliness and features, I preferred using Nokia after the 3210/8810 era.

  • @DielGunner

    For real. SE devices got me through primary school all the way to high school. K700 (2005) > K660 (2009) > Xperia X8 (late 2010) > Xperia Pro MK16 (2012, the one with physical keyboard). I did everything imaginable with the Android devices (X8 and MK16) -- rooted, unlocked their bootloaders, flashed custom ROMs, overclocked and undervolted the CPU, and added swap memory. 2011-2014 were wonderful years for a highschool student to enjoy the thrill of being an Android superuser. If I can go back in time, I'd still buy SE devices and do the things above, instead of getting an iPhone 4.
    Honorable mentions to 2011 SE Android devices: Xperia Neo, Neo V, Arc, Arc S, X10 Mini, X10 Mini Pro, Active, Ray, W8, WT18, and Live with Walkman.

      Same, they were great devices after some tweaking. Back then that's how it was for most companies though, those were the years of heavy android skins with crappy graphics that taxed the hardware to a crawl. I was still happy with that vs an iphone anyways, iphones had (and continue to have) about as much character as a box of kleenex lol - with these phones you had that before you flashed them, and after you did you got to pick everything about it. The very fact you could do all that while you couldn't even have a clean home screen on an iphone killed it for me

    Sony Ericsson was by far the craze in the mid-2000's. The models that really kickstarted Sony Ericsson's rise to fame was the T610i and the T630i
    Having owned multiple models throughout my teenage years, starting with the K500i. However, that was short-lived due to me having an accident with a door, and I broke the screen on it.
    Then came the W800i, the first Walkman branded phone. Perfect for a music enjoyer like myself. I had two of these. One of which got stolen, but the second one, I had for a long time.
    I then switched to the K810i, which had an incredible camera for the time, with an actual flash unit (not just an LED light). I donated this to my father, who used it for many years afterwards.
    Later on, I got the C902i. I only had it for a short time, before it fell out of my pocket outside. God I was mad when I lost it, because it was pretty expensive at the time.
    My last Sony Ericsson was the Xperia X10 mini, before I made the switch to HTC, and later on, Samsung (which I still use to this day).

    My first own mobile phone was my dad's hand-me-down Sony Ericsson Z60, the first flipphone., Later on, I got myself a SE Walkman, one of those where you could shake the phone to change tracks. Then it was various kinds of smartphones before I eventually landed on Sony Xperia XZ, followed by Xperia 1 and now Xperia 1 IV.

    Dad had a Sony Ericsson J110i somewhere around 2006-'07. Man... That phone sounded so good. I was like 3-4 yo back then. I still remember the time when I accidentally changed phone's language from English to Russian which later caused a chaos as almost no one in my house was able to revert back to English. That phone lasted till 2017. Miss those times.

    I owned Sony Ericsson phones from 2005 to 2012, as a music fan I was sold to the Walkman line and by the late 2000s shifted to the Xperia line, I loved my Xperia Mini and still have it in a drawer.
    Their design language is still unmatched IMO, smartphones never looked better before or since.
    By the mids 2010s I migrated to Samsung phones and I have nothing but praise for the Galaxy line, best phones I've ever owned in terms of user experience and quality.

    iPhone was a watershed moment for the industry it was a decade ahead of everybody. The first jailbreaks allowed than 1st gen iPhone to get oversease and the costs were astronomical but people paid them.

    I was a BIG FAN of the Swedish Ericsson. I've wanted another one but after hearing it was taken by Sony as Sony Ericsson I went for Panasonic but for a while. Went for Nokia and was hoping to stay onto it for eternity until there were Apple iPhones been launched which then I went for the iPhone 3G (after original iPhones).
    Basically I'm very skeptical of Sony Ericsson as I have doubts of whether if the brand is either Swedish or Japanese. Chiefly skeptical of Sony, preferred Panasonic and Toshiba over Sony as Japanese brands.
    Ericsson (not Sony Ericsson) on the other hand, had a Swedish knuckle breaking plastic body shell just like Volvo's plastic fittings interior.

    I had a T 630 once. It's still unbelievable how the screen suddenly turned white and couldn't be fixed. It was one of my early phones for internet access. I recall the days when we could chat on platforms like Mocospace, 2go, and Mig33. Those were truly golden days! Later, I switched to a Nokia 2760. How I long for those days again!

    My first experience with Sony Ercisson was with the Xperia X8, when I got the phone for birthday as a kid. I really loved the UI they had for their Android phones. Also in 2011 the Xperia lineup was consisting of the most elegant phones I’ve ever seen, at least to my taste. I stayed loyal to Sony as I bought an Xperia S (the best live wallpapers ever and then the Android 4.1.2 “sunblinds” lockscreen, hell yeah) and later a Z5. The problem with Sony smartphones was that their price was often higher than that of iPhones, while the only good thing about them was the design, the camera and the UI. All Sony’s Xperias had very small batteries, overheated quickly and the UI became laggy and unusable after a year or two of usage. That’s why I switched to Samsung in 2019, where the lagging is not that big of a problem (it still lags af but it’s manageble unlike the Sony’s). Their new phones don’t impress me anymore, they no longer look fun and elegant, the UI is long dead and batteries are still small with the prices in triple digits. That’s not the Sony I remember from my childhood anymore. They had great phones back in the 2011-2015 era, it’s a pity they messed up with overpricing and slow development. The Xperia Ray and Xperia Play still remain my most favourite phones of all time to this day.

    Sony self-sabotaging to protect the gaming arm of the company was the exact reason why Nintendo realised VERY early that if they partnered with them with the Nintendo Super Playstation, Sony would stab them in the back and take over their business. Same happened to Ericsson here. Shame but oh well.

  • @MilkyWay428

    Given the fact that Sony is known for being narrow breasted about their technology (remember why Betamax failed? Triniton? Walkman? Mini Disc and the list goes on) the whole venture was doomed to fail from the start. Ericsson was just making good phones. My favorites were T28, R320. Combine that with a Sony Walkman and you should be on a winning streak - but no, Ericsson threw in its proprietary charger, earphones, etc. and you're back on dirt road again ....

    My first phone was a Sony Ericsson W910i. What a beast of a phone it was. The slider design was iconic and the slim profile had an elegance to it. I always got asked what phone it was whenever I pulled it out. And the software and user experience was top notch! Remember they had different themes that looked very cool on that dislay and you could sideload new ones. And shaking the phone to skip tracks was pretty cool! Miss phones like these.

    I'm glad I've lived through Nokia prime time. I've had all the gems they've released but the funniest ones were the N-Gage and N-Gage QD, N97 Mini, Nokia 5300, N80 and finally the Nokia 3300. Had a happy upbringing with these devices ☺️

The sound, the camera, the zooming capabilities, the first true in air headphones, the storage capacity, and the compatibility to use the Sony Ericsson own sd card in a computer. And did i mention the sound quality coming through that tiny Sony Ericsson first in air headphones.
    I am still looking for headphones like that 😢😭😭.
