Pavel Zentrich (Sony Ericsson Russia): something about Walkmans, UIQ, Sagem and Xperia...

Smape has a put up a interview with Pavel Zentrich from SE Russia. Some key notes from the interview

• Dedicate audio chips seem unnecessary for SE, especially with the Clear Audio Experience Technology
• Walkman phones will probably never get built in 3.5 mm headphone jacks. The adapter route seems a lot more logical to SE especially in terms of answering the phone while listening to music. Plus all Walkphones come bundled with an adapter so it is at no extra cost to the consumer.
• The X1 will be the only XPERIA phone this year. Next year we will see more high end devices and possibly a more affordable candybar XPERIA phone.
