Sony Ericsson Paris Gets Canned For Good

You know, I had high hopes for the Sony Eicsson Paris. By the look of things, the sliding smartphone had a lot of promise. You got a SureType keyboard for texting and email, but you also got the compact footprint of a slider. The design looked pretty sleek and it could have been a good consumer-level smartphone. Too bad it has now been killed.

The Sony Ericsson P5i Paris has officially been cancelled. After a good amount of debate at Sony Ericsson, it seems the company has decided to give Paris the axe. Shame. I thought the phone had promise. Along with the P5i Paris, Sony Ericsson has also decided to bid adieu to the G702, which you may know by its codename BeiBei.

We can’t confirm this last bit, but there are reports saying that part of the reason why Sony Ericsson decided to can the Paris was because of the “bad reception in the blogosphere.” I guess we carry more weight than we thought.

  Boogie Board LCD tablet review Posted 8 days ago. The Etch A Sketch was a small box-like toy filled with aluminum powder that could be scraped off the inside surface of the glass to create a dark line on its light gray screen. Two knobs would allow you to move vertically and horizontally across the screen to create either a mess of lines, or a fantastic image. When you were done, just give it an upside down shake, and you can start allover again.

  HTC Legend review Posted 12 days ago. If you’re thinking that the overall form factor looks familiar, well, you’re right. The HTC Legend functions as a spiritual successor to the HTC Hero, throwing the “chin” back in the game. The Legend also comes with a bunch of other improvements too, including operating off the newer HSPA network.
