Motorola rocks on Accessories, SonyEricsson rocks on Phones
May 31, 2007
I just had some gadget fun in the last week or so. I now have a new phone (SonyEricsson w880i) and a new set of Bluetooth Headphones (Motorokr S9). That's "headphones" not "headset" as they're stereo, support A2DP, and are ideal for listening to music streamed wirelessly over Bluetooth, among other things. Oh joy of joys!
They are both rather excellent (so far) and the Bluetooth stuff has all worked tickety-boo. The SE plays nice with the headphones, and happily streams music to them. The headphones themselves have rather nice audio quality - the controls are a little sensitive and fiddly to get used to, but once you do, they're fine.
The SE of course has JSR82 (ahem, supplied by the world's leading independent vendor of JSR82 technology). The headphones, being small, lightweight and very embedded, do not (AFAIK).
If you're stuck for gadget ideas for the special someone in your life, the Bluetooth SIG have some suggestions, in their Summer Gift Guide!! :-)

Reviewing this list, it seems to me that SonyEricsson's strength recently has most definitely been on the phone side of things, as opposed to the accessories. Meanwhile Motorola have been having phone woes, but their accessories really shine.
