Barcelona bound for #mwc2012

Well, really exciting times are ahead! And we are so happy we get to share them with you.

This time, we will be telling you all about everything that is going on at Mobile World Congress  in Barcelona, where we will be having great announcements and events, for the first time as Sony Mobile Communications.

The event, first held more than 20 years ago, is the world’s largest mobile exhibition and brings together operators, manufacturers, providers – along with anyone and everyone with an interest in all things mobile tech :)

We’re kicking things off with our press conference on Sunday 26th. And you can actually accompany us, as the press conference will be streamed live through our official Facebook page and here, on the product blog – so don’t forget to check us back before 19:00 CET to catch the show!

Then, from February 27 to March 1,  we will be on site, on our booth in the event, where exhibition-goers will have the chance to create, listen, watch and play with our Xperia Smartphones!

But those of you who can’t make it this year (including me!) need not fear – we have our Xperia bloggers: Anthony, Clare and Will, on the ground during the week to bring all the experiences directly  to you.

They’ll be sharing their MWC diaries with demo videos, live Q&A’s, interviews and anything funky or cool that might pop up along the way!

Here’s a little bit more about them:

Anthony

A self-confessed “tech-head”, Anthony won’t be hard to spot amongst the MWC crowds – just look out for a messy haircut, and an equally questionable fashion sense ;)

Clare

Clare’s our renowned gaming nut, and she doesn’t let us forget it! Expect to catch her around the gaming booths, but wish us luck in trying to drag her away!

Will

Simply put, Will’s a gadget-junkie. It is said that he doesn’t commemorate Christmas – he waits a few months and celebrates MWC instead!

So, keep your eyes on the blog as we’ll be bringing you all the news and announcements live as it happens!

    About your new phone the Ion and S. Today i was already sold on buying your Experia Arc S even though the phone is 6 months old. but why did brought that phone? simple, because the battery life is really disappointing. All i can say that your Arc S is more specs wise balance and your camera and display is really beautiful. I can see your product will definitely worth to buy than Iphone 4s if…you can fix your product’s phone life. let’s not be like the other phone company that it will only last 5-8 hours. make it 16 hours or more with using 4g or intense usage price well… in philippines i’ll just bench mark expeiria arc S vs iphone 4s.

    Experia arc S – 21,000 php +
    Iphone 4s – 30,000 php +/-

    if you can make it below 30,000 and your battery will last longer as i said benchmark i think it will be the worth i can tell the iphone killer =)

    I already saw sensation Xe and Galaxy S2. you can beat them in experia arc s with battery improvement.

    Bravia Engine Display can match iphone 4s display

    Sounds ? what can i say its sony and i know

    My Girlfriend was dissapointed o your satio phone because it is so slow but in experia arc S sh said it to me that if she knows this phone was not like your previos phone she definetly buy it rather than 4s. Anyway im not a fan of your phone but it really almost sold me there. and my gf was your old fan that lost your faith but now she wants it to go back you.

    this is my opinion only… im really forward to buy new phone this year. i hope i will be one of the comsumers for your next phone flag ships. just upgrade your battery. i think i will be buying your phone.
