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!
