New Phones for Sony Ericsson...

Sony Ericsson (SNE) (ERIC) unveiled numerous new phones, including a phone based on Microsoft (MSFT) software, and the G900, with a 5-megapixel camera and a 2.4" touchscreen that rivals Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. Sony Ericsson said an upgraded version of its PlayNow internet and mobile phone service will be available in 30 countries within the year. The service rivals Apple's iTunes and Nokia's Ovi. CEO Hideki Komiyama says Sony Ericsson is looking to bolster its weak presence in the U.S., but called a purchase of Motorola's (MOT) handset unit unattractive.
