We’ve talked about Xperia Studio before in this blog, and every time, I am completely blown away by the great and cool things they are doing with our Xperia Smartphones and very unique and creative people.
For their most recent challenge, Xperia Studio joined forces with Android game developers Pixelbite/Polarbit and car-engineer Dr. James Brighton to recreate Pixelbite’s popular Reckless Racing 2, in real life – using two life sized cars controlled entirely remotely by Xperia phones
So the excitement continues in Barcelona in Mobile World Congress 2012. We have just finished our press conference and I am very proud to present to you the two amazing phones we announced: Xperia P and Xperia U, two more additions to the Xperia™ NXT series – next generation smartphones from Sony.
Even as I am not on site in Barcelona, and I am following every moment what the Xperia blog team at the MWC 2012 are sharing with us, I am very excited to tell you a little more of both smartphones. (more…)

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!
One of the main things about Sony Ericsson phones I have always loved, and I know a lot of you out there love too, is the design. So, when we receive a design award for one of our phones, it’s always very exciting for us and we can’t wait to tell you!
This time, we received four 2012 iF design awards in the telecommunications category, including the highest level of recognition, the gold award, that was given to the Xperia™ active smartphone. On previous posts, we had talked a lot of how cool the Xperia active is, with it’s aluminum frame, great size, sports features, and water and dust resistance and we are really proud of this recognition for the design of this really functional smartphone.
