Dee Dutta is the current Head of Marketing at Sony Ericsson and has been in this position since 2003. He has done a brilliant job with Sony Ericsson’s marketing and is also a great part of Sony Ericsson’s tennis sponsorship. He’s a really nice guy, so I’m of course a bit sad to say that he’s now leaving his position at Sony Ericsson in just a matter of days.

- Dee has made an outstanding contribution to the growth of the Sony Ericsson brand and our sponsorship in tennis. We would like to wish him the very best for the future, comments Dick Komiyama, CEO at Sony Ericsson, on Dee’s departure with Sony Ericsson.

Although Dee is leaving, it seems he has been very satisfied working at Sony Ericsson for the last 5-6 years.

This has been a wonderful journey of both personal and professional growth for me. I am very proud of the achievements that my team and I have made in growing the brand and look forward to the next challenge in my career, said Dee Dutta.

Sony Ericsson will announce Dee’s replacement in due course.

Sony Ericsson W890 is the multi-talented successor of the revolutionary W880 that was announced in a little over a year ago. W890 follows up by increasing the depth of the phone with a meaningless 0.5 millimetres while adding a whole lot of features and a design that is to die for.

I received the W890 only a few days ago and it was love at first sight. I love the materials used and the colour variants look absolutely smashing. Build quality feels very good and phone is extremely sturdy. About 30 people have had a look at my W890 so far and all were impressed by the quality of it.

Motorola’s Z6 keeps losing features. No, seriously, hear us out: it all started out as the Z6tv, a decent slider with support for Verizon’s MediaFLO-based VCAST TV. Fair enough, a solid consumer phone. Then Moto had to check the TV tuner at the door in exchange for GSM support to make the Z6c. That’s all well and good, and we suppose you could argue that the Z6c didn’t lose features — it just traded them — but here’s a new one for you. The Z6cx unceremoniously ditches the 2 megapixel shooter in an effort to appease the very market the Z6c was designed to appeal to: world travelers who are probably spending at least part of their time in offices where cameras are frowned upon. Looks like the Z6cx can be had for the same $179.99 after contract on rebates as its more photo-friendly sibling, so don’t expect any discounts there.

For any enV owners out there who managed to not splurge on a Voyager, it looks like you could end up being rewarded here something fierce. Verizon’s true enV replacement, the VX9100, has now found its way into some glamorous press shots — and while we’re sure that reaction’s going to be mixed, we’re really digging the super-simple candybar appearance when the QWERTY clamshell is in its upright and locked position.

While it appears that Meizu’s infringement shutdown at CeBIT was for unlicensed MP3 usage, and not at all to do with the eerie resemblance to a certain iPhone, the company still seems eager to prove to the world it is brewing something unique with the M8 mini One. CEO Jack Wong posted a bunch of new shots to the Meizu forums with small interface tweaks that inch the OS a bit away from its iPhone roots — but certainly not far.

Sony Ericsson has just appointed the integrated marketing agency iris to manage its global activation strategy. This means sports campaigns marketing, retail and sales promotion. I’m in a bit of a rush, so I’ll just leave you with the press release.

If you believe the published document of Sony Ericsson, Then the XPERIA X1 is not going to be published in the second half of the year as promised, but almost a year later, on February 10, 2009, before the Mobile World Congress 2009.
