I'm astounded it's taken
this many years to realise the potential they have in developing Sony's ideas.
It seems the change has indeed started with phones like the X10, and perhaps the X10 Mini, though I think Sony's influence was also very strong with the Aino...it's typical Sony...smooth in a Japanese-type way!

Adopt Sony's designs?
Which phones had Sony designs in particular?
Few handsets had, until very recently, had any input from Sony, design-wise. The X10 had Sony input because it was to also be launched in Japan and that, to me, is one of the best looking
phones to date.

Hi goldenface, since Sony came in the picture, you could see the difference in designs... from the T68m to the T68i, the design shift was very apparent. Regardless of WHERE is was designed, you can tell who the designers were trying to suck up to. Metallic baby blue and robotic letters are not exactly common in Scandinavian design...
Since the Elm/Hazel and X10 Minil came along ... you can see a closer resemblance to the older Ericsson T28, R520m and R320 models, and some B&O products. Less ruler straight lines and boring rounded corners, and more sleek, flowing lines.
That annoying "jog dial"..or even the 5-way jog dial which was ok...but it felt like an afterthought and a refusal to accept that a jog-dial sucks compared to a d-pad which is ambidextrous.

Also obviously the media player interface is borrowed from PS. However Ericsson influence is still very strong in the partnership. By no means are Ericsson a silent partner

In the same quarter, the manufacturer will launch the Yendo – the first Walkman phone to feature a touch-screen.
ah... W950 was the first Walkman touch screen I do believe.
I guess he means first android Walkman...

I think he means first full touch screen Walkman, other commentators have made the same mistake.
Apart from Walkman and Cyber-shot, there was hardly any design influence in SE phones - the ones made in Japan tended to have a greater Sony Influence, S700i, W900i etc.

I think even from day one till now I only see Ericsson in the designs no Sony at all. I always loved the Ericsson designs of old they were unique(even the stubby aerials)
I never really took to the old Sony phones except one which had an orange display the Z7
I had all these Sony phones but only like the Z7

I think there is clear influence of both, however I tend to see UI influence from Ericsson (apart from the media player of course), and design influence from Sony but that said, I think SE engineers have hybradised and added to both Ericsson and Sony's styling and made it their own.

Actually thinking about it now I remember the old Sony phones had the rotating menu which is still now in A200 phones

Thats great news, FINALY SONY and Ericsson realise just how much they have to offer! SE have it ALL, and could so easily surpass Apple thanks their ties with SONY.
I love SONY designs. The original PS3 is beautifuly designed,so are their VAIO laptops, Bravia TVs, Walkmans, eBook readers, headphones and PSP. The X10 clearly had a lot of SONY influence in the design, the black/white with the chrome strip, and buttons remind me of the original PS3 and newer PSP models, very classy looking, none of that "industrial" look everyone else is doing, very typical of SONY to be different. Android does seem like a winner for SE's high-end smartphones, and the UXP apps: TimeScape and MediaScape are genius, they just need to improve the speed and some add some finishing touches here and there,paticularly in TimeScape, MediaScape on the other hand just needs to be faster,other than that a job very well thoughtout and done, i gave up on 3rd party Music players as MediaScape does such a fantastic job,i wish it had DivX/Xvid/mkv support as that would pretty much make it my one and only media player,since it does Music an Pics so well,anyway im looking forward to future SE Android high-ends with UXP UI
Amen to that
I've had the original PSP & always have admired the Vaio line. It's really crazy that it's only now SE & Sony are working together.
