Shame about the rest...]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/]]>Dec 30th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
Exactly. They really blew it. That dope screen could have gone in a way cooler phone. SonyEricsson, Nokia has given you plenty of examples of how to sell a non-smartphone for large sums of money. You use metals and glass, you make it sexy, and you sure as hell don't package it like candy! A plastic phone in a plastic bag for $1,000?! WOW]]>Dec 30th 2009 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://bit.ly/xperia-pureness-sexy-rachael-ui]]>Dec 31st 2009 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
Dont worry, the KIRF version will only cost $0.50..

Schengen China was like.. "WTF? This is too easy to clone" HAHAHAHAH!]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/SonOfA... they KIRF'd the town on me.... next you'll say I was cheated when I bought my ticket on Lufdhanza airlines?
What? Oh crap.... I need a new travel agent.

OK.. not real funny, but that was my thought flow.]]>Dec 30th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
Except that's part of the point. I know a couple people who would buy this simply because it costs $1000.
The translucent screen, that no other phone has, is just icing.

Also, the people who this phone targets, don't read Engadget. ]]>Dec 30th 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
Here's what I don't understand. How can that display be so incredibly expensive to produce? I thought all you would need to do is to take out the backlight on a regular LCD and replace it with a hole through the back of the device. Isn't that what's happening with the Pureness? Or is there something else going on with that screen?]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
I'd love to see some old Nintendo Game & Watch games on this thing...

Like "Mario's Cement factory"

Because this crap phone was made to play thse games...

sheet S.E. stick to making CyberShot phones... If I wanted I could have just bought a $20 MOTOFONE F3 and ripped of the back.]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
LCDs can be white-on-black or black-on-white... it doesn't matter. Just rotate the polarizing layer 90 degrees.]]>Dec 30th 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/nope, the white you see is actually the reflective backing or the backlight. A black and white LCD works by blocking light. Therefore... blackness.

This is different since it turns white, not black. ]]>Dec 31st 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
I hope you see other product get shipped like this. It seems to make more sense than foam.]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
The box says "talk text time." I get the talk text - those are about the only things this phone can do - but time? Dig deeper engadget, apparently this phone can control time...]]>Dec 30th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/Dec 30th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/

Calculator displays? Thats just absurd.

You'd need at least one discarded drinks carton, and some sticky-backed tape, and a responsable adult to help with the scissors.]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-pureness-hands-on/
