March 22, 2011 By Stephane Carter Leave a Comment

So the Xperia was launched. “What? Xperia?” I hear you say? Yes, the Xperia. I have to admit that I have never heard of the Xperia but then again I use a very old phone bought in an era where texting was just in, y’know back in the late 90s. No? I must be getting [...]

And we keep posting photos of the Sony Ericsson Open. Why? Because we gotta! We just do. I was sent this link which led to another and yet another. No wait, that’s another too much. But it did send me to a site with a bunch of photos for us to use for this photopost.
