Michell Bak of SE blog has a very nice post about Sony Ericsson Secret that  you didn’t know. Here quote from his blog:
1. Testing of prototypes. They’ve got a test center in Germany for testing of prototypes. They have fired all “out of house” prototype testers in order to keep everything behind closed doors - however operator testers have still got a limited access to non-announced prototypes.

2. Sony Ericsson leaks informations! Yep, you read that right. Sony Ericsson - again, yes, the mobile manufacturer itself - leaks informations about upcoming phones and plans. But of course the leaks are carefully planned.

3. Sony Ericsson keeps an eye on us. I’d bet you didn’t know that Sony Ericsson are eagerly reading the posts at different mobile phone forums - like Esato - and they also read mobile phone blogs. Sometimes even posting, too!

4. Successor’s successor. The K850 is fairly new, but the successor is already in the works and so is the successor of K850’s successor probably also. Mobile phone manufacturers are always years ahead in terms of successors as it usually takes about three years to create a mobile phone.

5. Extreme amount of ideas. But unfortunately most of the ideas will never become reality. For about every 8 ideas, one will become reality - and even this idea, will end up being changed lots of times before it gets announced and released. Some will even get ditched after the product announcement - one could be the Z700, which was cancelled or the programmable Bluetooth camera ball a few years back.

When you want to view taken image in full screen, all you have to do is rotate the phone - the rest is automatic. But you can do the same when you enter my media ( That place where all your data is stored - music, pictures and video ) - rotate the phone, and display will change. But the coolest things regarding rotation are themes. If you have K850 theme, the wallpaper animation ( picture under operator logo - don’t know how to call it ) will move according to position of the phone - if you rotate it in one direction - the theme will animate in that direction, but if you turn it another way - animation direction will change.

Opera Mobile 9 is heading out the door.

A global mobile phone manufacturer will begin pre-installing Opera Mobile 9 on their Windows Mobile phones sometime during the first half of 2008. In addition, Opera Mobile 9 will be featured on UIQ platform. UIQ is used in mobile phones from Sony Ericsson, Motorola, BenQ and Arima.

In other news, Opera Mobile 8.65 will be pre-installed on the latest Softbank smartphone, the Softbank X01T. This phone, which runs Windows Mobile 6, will be available in Japan.

Unfortunately this doesn’t look to promising for existing uiq3 users. This new Opera is only for UIQ 3.2 or 4 and not supported by current UIQ.
