With all the iPhone wrangling, rival handsets launching and Samsung’s event, Sony Ericsson’s update to its accessory line clean passed us by. So now is a good time to look at the two new gizmos SE expect to make your mobile life complete: an obelisk hands-free kit and a wireless speaker ball.
The MBS-100 is their attempt to further frustrate anyone who doesn’t enjoy listening to other people’s music on buses and trains. A five-hour rechargeable battery and A2DP stereo Bluetooth make for a simple package, although I would doubt stereo separation would be as good as, say, Samsin’s SBS-6600 pair.
Meanwhile, the lighter-alike HCB-105 speakerphone clips to your sunvisor and has a pair of multi-action buttons to control answering and ending calls, volume and power. Battery life is far better than the MBS-100, at 25 hours talktime or a massive 700 hours standby.
The MBS-100 will be available Q4 2007, while if you want the HCB-105 you’ll have to wait until Q1 next year.
